Solid Metal

pain is (painting) framed in shame,
unaware of her own name-
i keep mentioning 'it's burning it's stinging'-
this art dripping from my heart 
[lacerated] [penetrated] 
eye see your spiritsoul torn, 
(open box filled with coal) 
how many pieces make a- 
whole lot has been happening, 
in & out of my mind
searching thru tangled vines just 
asking the time [in the last place i look i shall] 
find you're stooped to my level 
i'm so dishevelled under everything 
soft is solid metal- i'd much hate to be 
the last petal
