breathe {poetry}--

endless endings

clocks

chiming in unison

12:01 a.m

singing softly to those that still have open eyes

comforting those able to breathe in the midnight air.

yet darkness lurks across the calm

creating shivers 

trailing them up the spinal cords of the innocent. 

not yet do they know corruption

rising with a slight exhale

to get a glass of water

clear : pure : fresh

returning with a bottle

clear in itself

but causing pure intoxication

inebriating the brain of those
awake at 

12:59

clocks, 

out of order

a messy symphony of hammers hitting metal 

the cause of numerous different tones to ring out. 

now does blood run thin 

for alcohol poisoning has visited

making promises to these children of the night

if they take a sip

it will be alright. 

but this master of tricking fools

had had another successful evening

taking advantage of broken teens

this is the last time

last time they will see a clock cry

 hours of

innocence

the last time they will be able to take

 a breath of their own

without cigarette smoke closing windpipes

blackening lungs with each drag 

freeing angles from inky darkness within

goodnight my dear children

for you have made a mistake

the moment you fall asleep

you will not wake

your veins

  

crowded with

 
lies : lust : drugs

your time is over

for it is now 

1 -a.m-

the never ending party has 
begun
