Tangible Affliction

My hell fire is written in the wake of my steps

Like bones, the wind will bend and snap

To the will of my breath and the sounds of my screams

But the world will never know of me and those things.

The things that roll in the back of my head

That I wish and I beg and I pray to forget

They wait and they watch and they climb undead

The moments I've lived dragging you to your death.

Your innocence beating as a clambering pest

Sickening sweetness in a vain mess

Ablivious to depth in your minds eye

A waste of all of man and god's time

My hell fire burns away a vacant soul

Who's body has been manicured and worshipped and sold

To all of the earth and all of its things that couldn't matter less

Than what it could bring.

She said her name was Justice,

But her scale broke a long time ago.

The hinges wail because she does not.

Not anymore. Her sword is rusted.

She called herself Justice,

And once, her tears left her blind.

“I’m not okay”

And with that sentence, she jumped.

Today a heart was shattered

My world trembles at the quake of her pain,

Waves hit me like icebergs that dagger my face

My love, my sister, my true other half

The battles we're tested often blow up the path 

The one that we sprint down when we're open and blind

By the promise of forever, and a touch that is kind

My sunshine, my blood, my lifelong best friend 

When you're hurting like this I can't comprehend 

Why I'm so far away, when I should be holding you close

When forever is broken, and you need me the most

My blossom, my kindred, my tummy hurts laugh

When love is for always, there's no too great a task

So gorgeous, so giving, please don't lock up your heart 

Save it for someone, who from you, could never part.

Hometown Circus.

Nonsensical shenanigans run rampant in this dump;

from grandpa in a chicken suit to the words of Donald Trump.
