The multitudinous clenches of despair joust intermittently.
Make it hurt.
No witnesses. No empathy. Nor apathy. My stagnation.
The question of purposefulness has the inconsequential ringing of tinnitus banging in my noggin.
Who to bear witness?
Beyond “you,” I suppose...
Thou nameless, faceless, formless and ing omnipresent
God? Given my luck...
Crawling and flowing in my body - more so than my own blood - though never foreign. A homogenous mixture “we” are.
Invasive “you” are not.
Permeating and crushing my existence.
Not of me but never foreign, never.
“You” to bear witness.
My brain rackles with any and all manifestations of grief. How predictable.
Where are “you?”
Inside and outside and inside out and outside out - never foreign.
Take my life then.
Be not afraid. Take my life.
Make this invitation to a new aspiration of my decimation my proclamation.
The after-thought of symbolization, of matter, of merit-
Take my life
I am tired - tired - tired of this rigamaroo
Take my life. Take my breath.
“YOU!”
GIVE. IT. MEANING.
A symbolization,
From this ring I thee wed,
A love for eternity,
For even memories we have,
My heart is yours,
Till death do us part,
I share with no one but you,
For it's my life I trust is true,
A sacred bond,
We make complete,
Struggles and realizations,
We probe to beat,
Tough times,
Hard knock life,
Were here to help each other,
Love and not drift apart,
It requires work,
That we know,
My love for you is strong,
I'm ready to push through,
Whatever comes along,
Not front and back,
But side by side,
We made it this far,
And we will continue,
To be alright.....
You heat up our hearts,
your a work of art,
of passion.
Bloom like a flower,
you revealing us,
your power.
Yet you can cause pain,
your mad, your insane,
your untamed.
alcoholic intoxication
in physical symbolization
known to all
two hearts assimilation
without articulation
known to them
