Jumpstart - Collaboration With Poet Destroyer

How did it come to this? You and me down memory bliss… Somewhere in between losing myself … I misplaced the dust remover off my shelf… Now I’ll march on, like a cheerful parade… Smiling my big pearly whites, as you begin to fade... I disguised the use, when you called me a broken down car… Adjusting all the plugs under my hood, I reached in too far... I touched and fondled every mound and tendency inside of me… All my heart needed, was a brand new battery… I found my own cure, reviving my broken heart disease… Blocking the sunburn from jumping, on my heart, like a trapeze… I got rocks stored in my pocket, that came with a guarantee… Sustaining weight on my weakened knees, reassuring me warranty… That I will get through this, without you to drive… I have a map of the world, traced on my thighs… You may have held the moon, but not anymore… There are millions of galaxies for me to explore … Once I face the dark and horrible truth… That I didn’t like who I was, with you… That’s why I shouldn’t be starving, for your attention… When all you gave me, were paltry inventions… Instead I’ll wave bye, at my shriveled heart’s cost… And immediately stop sniffing, our love’s exhaust… In time you’ll be nothing but a tumbleweed … A random thought I won’t even keep… When I’m fully restored, you’ll be left in the dust… And I’ll be stronger than I ever was

Interesting use of metaphor, which is kept on track right to the end. A good collaboration here. I'm not entering any contests at the moment, but I was sorely tempted to try this one...I'm not though. But I wish you luck in this contest. Love, Robert.
