Inhibition Part 3

Ivory: The astonishing purity of pain, how it is altered from a mere sensation.

Precious, innocent soul
Open thy eyes,
For this world is
Abounding in lies.

There is no 
Place like home,
Yet, the tombs 
Feel seamless.

Those old cardigans,
Might haunt you still,
Oh, my poor soul,
Breathe.

Relieve
that veiled, unaltered
patience, that
doesn’t let you dream.

Awaken
from the 
imperishable marks
of illusory joy.

Precious, innocent soul
Close thy weary eyes,
For in this world,
Contentment is disguised.
