Substance Over Breath

With this tourniquet tort
And an afternoon spent
A half empty receptacle
Is substance over breath.

And when the wind blows
Against blemish and reason
I'll slightly dismember
And re-curl with no recognition.

A bitter sweet current
Divides and it portions
Although today i will love you
Tomorrow may be without feeling.
