70 - Mayhem

Tilt the earth and the wilted flowers will be beautiful again,

Let the despair devour all decency left,

Pills are astonishingly bad at placating pain,

Even glue can't clasp my uncoiling cleft.

Water, yes water is my only gentle friend,

It slips through my cracks to douse daring death,

Seeping numbness wills my wishes to mend,

I whisper them wallowing in my wasted breath.

Careful, I'm fragile, on the inside at least,

Don't come too close, you can't tame this beast,

Glass shows the truth even when its shattered,

And for how long I cheat death never really mattered.
