When Atlas Falls

I am losing reasons at an alarming rate.

Peeling away like paper.

I wish, I fucking wish.

I could just end it.

Everything

Maybe keep a few things

Permanent things

Me, you, him.

If I could I would.

Destroy everything beautiful.

Burn it to the ground.

Then put the fires out because they are beautiful also.

But, alas, I am not enough.

Of anything.

At all.

I know I am not perfect.

Maybe that is the reason I attract?

I don't know.

If I ever meet Atlas.

I shall slay him where he stands.

Taking his burden of the sky.

I would say I'm Important, but I'd be lying.

I wanted to be stabbed.

Not in the back.

Although,

The pain was enjoyable.
