PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Nah, brain.

Why like something that works

when I can love something that doesn't? 

I feel like I don't attempt

these self-destructive tendencies

but here we stand again

on this cliff

leaving that same trail of blood behind me

I don't want sympathy

I wouldn't fault you in not offering in the first place

but the taste of joy

satiates the cardiac spaces

like no other

so I'm just gonna keep fueling 

every sunken vein 

carelessly

with gallons of something combustible

request a fuse

and wait
