metamorphose

pushing it out
flushing the system clean
drinking them up
gulping them down.
a swollen face
and eyes
red rimmed.
a quivering chin
and trembling lips
and a full stop
is that so difficult?
letting go?
and trying not to clip those newly grown wings
tying down
get it over with.
and then the metamorphose is complete.
a throat full of unshed tears.
a stoic face
and
drowning.

"I am serious about her!" shared loves and lives. a deep green pail and herbal essences.. baked garlic and cheese olives and those scornful baby-corns the sound of "would ...

Heartbreak hotel

Does it come with a warning? Or does it sound as brittle as the shattering of glass? Does it taste like despair on your tongue- ashen, dry and unpleasant? Or does it leave an aftertaste, bitter and nauseous? It's one thing to call yourself a beacon of strength and another to shed silent tears when no one's looking A failed attempt, and some more, and hope is washed away like by the tides of time. Corroding the light and heaping in darkness. A car Crash, a death, a black dress and mourning. is there going to be some light at the end of this tunnel?
