Senses Losing Sensibility
As my vision
Blurs
Bending signs
Melting faces
Into other
Things
I won't recognize
I wipe clean
All my inhibitions
Maybe then
I can see again
As my voice
Cracks
Searching
Sound waves
Into listening
Ears
I won't remember
I clear out
All bricks
Maybe then
I can hear again
As my fingers
Scratch and
Search for
More than empty
Rooms and beds
I won't know again
I look for places
Warm and safe
Then maybe
I can live again
As my mouth
Tastes sour
Tastes bitter
Words I can't seem
To spit out
I won't hawk up
Them for them
I sound out letters
Maybe then
I can speak again
As my feelings
Melt and break
Stew and cool
Dishes pile up
So high
I won't show any
I hope my heart's
Not broken just yet
Maybe then
I can love again
