devolve

i ran
as fast as i could
desperate to find a corner
a corner so blindingly dark
that it would scare the lights
a corner so solemnly silent
that it would scare the screams
i ran
as fast as i could
but perhaps i ran too fast
life, along with that corner
passed me by

choke

i looked around

i looked within

sea, is what i see

everywhere

gentle at times

at times rough

cradles me sometimes

throws me away the other

tries to rescue me

and tries to drown me

the sea loves me so much

that it can hardly bare to see me

happy without her

happiness is demanding

bleed,
glee,
bleed.

bleed out.

spread out.

paint me.

from head to toe.

if you truly love me,
glee,
you would bleed,
some more.
