they dare not traverse the dark corridors of their minds
with cobwebs guarding the corners and ill will breeding
behind shut doors; eyes looking through the barriers piled
upon their skins, every protection withers and every truth
spills like water from the oceans.thorns pricking their hearts, their brains fallen petals
intellect dissolved while their time ticks away, the ticking
piercing them whole: a dull ache takes over — trapped inside
their own reckless captivity but do they deprecate?
it's as tedious as their guilty conscience
the constant whispers vituperate, their own beings turned into
sanguinary beasts with an interminable desire to hunt and hone,
kill and kick, rip and rise (above the golden ashes)their credence burns with sterility, it's an opprobrium brewing
too hot to feel, too cold to touch, a middle ground that keepsrising
&
falling
unsteady, clumsy gait, they care not to elucidate what roams around
too nescient in their made up integrity, like paper houses they will
tear themselves apart — living in a mortal brick home of decadence
they live in negation of the truththey only beguile themselves,
it's a viscid sin.
