Take Me Away
Take me away from myself
where I can breathe
no smoked refinery air,
somewhere else.
I cast a lonely wish
to be someone else
possessed of life
it never materialised.
I cry an empty shell,
mouthing, moving in circles,
decreasing as I radiate
never to brush the shore.
Let my sweat lie upon you
one more secret time,
sacrifice my heart,
I court fulfilment.
Turning blind eyes
snaps me, breaks my heart,
turning away
I die.
