life as a puppet show

there is a black hole in my chest, a titanium bullet in my heart, and a quicksand in my head.
i am in a trance in which I am forced to confront the negative obscurities of life's lonesome voyages.
there is a constancy: the raft of dysphoria, paralyzing my body and using it, as if life is a puppet show and I am the puppet.
i am a facade with a malevolent puppeteer, controlling the actions that my faltering bones partake in.

he knits my lips together with his soft wool yarn dipped in ombre blue dye.
he builds a soft gray doll house to shelter me and leaves stainless steel bars to guard me.
he adheres me to the crib that he constructed, so I will be taunted by his insidious laughter.
he decorates my king-sized bed with the aroma of a thousand roses and convinces me of the hell-bound world beyond this desolate chamber.
he tells me that the world is just a masquerade ball and to be pure, I must be devoid of all contact.
he bombards and fills my inside with his animosity.
my puppeteer is teeming with greed; he is zealous.
he wants me to obliterate aspects of my life so he can make room for his ideals.
he denies me of my self worth, as he constantly tries to perfect me to his standards.
he controls.

my puppeteer is continuously trying to engrave himself into my life.
he whispers lies into my ears until I take it in as the truth.
i am struck by the uncanny romance of his bittersweet words.
i have fallen in love with this gloomy kiss of death.
i ache to feel because after all the torment, he feels like home.

collision

i dream of collision; two separate worlds intertwining, terrestrial bodies shifting to occupy a void. i dream of collision; the coming together of two abstracts, divergent forces exhaling in harmony, melancholic lips tracing the hems of a ballad. i dream of collision, the unification of lonely souls; brought together like long lost lovers, fingers interlocking as twilight breaks. i dream of collision; hope- hope that one day, our skies will align, and out loves will unite. all rights reserved

umasking invitaiton

a glare in the mirror, a diamond in the rough; a glimmer in the dark, fake smiles aren't enough. an arcade fire with enclosed flames, a distorted smile with a euphoric frame. coming-of-age novels and emboldening quotes, highlighted resolutions in a stranger's anecdote. a deer in the headlights, it is death man pursues. the fireflies in your stomach, darling, they get scared too. delicate knuckles are not meant for punching walls. parched lips do not indulge alcohol. acidic raindrops fall from eyes, integuments should not the crimson compromised. the tobacco cigar between your fingers, is no haven for when desolation lingers. if love is just a game, what fragile hope it must proclaim. if it is a mask you wear, independently, the pain you must bear. when fear shelters your disguise, self loathe will leave you bitterly mesmerized. and if - a monotonous chant in your head - those incessant slanders, incompetence it will spread. but be warned, the devil is a ...
