the rain is really cold
its numbing my skin
the music of it
i want to die.
crippled by today..
i couldn't make it through.
so much regret.
to see you cry was too much.
it didn't feel real.
nothing does.
i'm lost in a fog that never goes away
so dizzy, i can't take it
a monster tied me to my house
and i can't feel my body
the sirens are deafening me
every movement hurts inside
i can't stand the sensation
of existing
we are walking while it snows cottonseed,
or something like that,
but around me
it's a black & white movie
flat and flatter, until the awareness kicks
into right under the skin of my face
and i start to radiate a type of
magnified aura that has no color
but also has every color.
we ate a lot of honeysuckle flowers
there is that nectar, concentrated
so sweet to my mouth, so warm,
to experience it and forget.
what a shame it is to discard the
rest, the un-eaten part,
letting it float from our fingers to the ground.
then i see no more color
but the lingering earthy spring sweet
causes my eyes to receive reds and yellows
and every one of
i am lost in an unknown world

field of ponds surround me, i throw stones in them...
all the buildings in my internal consciousness begin to fall
crashing on my body, but its numb
no one is there, and i begin to set little fires everywhere
and press myself against the cold window, staring at the colorless street
rain and tears, hiding them
i threaten myself with many knives
one after the other, not sure
screaming at no one, why is this happening
why can't i fix it. or feel it.
rip my mouth and skin and everything, stab over and over
all in my mind. all is well, but it isn't
i begin to throw myself at the walls and railings

sealed voice, i attend a bus ride. head against the cold window. bumps bang my skull sharply against the glass. sharply. staying away from the furnace that cut me. no one sees. where is the foundation. where are the clean guardians. my mouth is roughly stitched together when it comes down to the wounds and the bruises. the infiltrated mind. the horrible photos that circulate inside my mind that i can't reach, but i want to reach them, i want to grab them and burn them. i want to replace them. but there is no way, there is no magic in that realm. i wonder and discover that no drug or no amount of cutting or stabbing, there isn't a way. there i

Somewhere familiar yet unfamiliar, somewhere newly fabricated by the depths of his mind. This is before the hope, before his new life began. This was the negative place, where we all go--although from different paths.

i wrote down everything the voice said.
i wrote down the cuts it wanted me to cut.
i wrote down the burns it wanted me to burn.
i wrote down the names it called me.
i wrote down what it wanted to do to me.
i wrote down the past.
