consequences

Are we prepared to deal with the consequences of complacency?
There is no going back because “normal” has always been an illusion
If it’s easier to leave what is to be then I ask myself why should I remain at all
If resistance is futile then what is stopping me from surrendering to the current and drowning in its wake?
You don’t need me for this
All my efforts are weak and it doesn’t take much to see I’m wholly irrelevant and that’ll never change
I surrender my seat to those more worthy and I yield my existence to one who knows how to use it
I surrender my seat, I yield it all. I know I’m not helping, I am peripheral--inconsequential

debris

I can’t--you can’t--we can’t rebuild
We left too much debris in our wake
If there’s anything to be salvaged here
Best to burn it before it can devour what remains
I can’t watch as you take our ashes and just turn them to precious gems and sell them for profit
Recurring dreams you’re drowning but I can’t be the one to save you; someone always gets there first, and it’s a nightmare
I think I can handle all of this
Better than alternatives
Maybe this could be a clean break but I can’t let it go
A splinter in my finger; an eyelash in my eye; on each one of them I wish you’d never die
When I see your jacket hanging over your chair it means so much to me
Means so much to me
I’m watching the river and hearing its rhythm but it will never drown you out or wash you away

shatter

“Look up, I’m hanging above from the rafters”
She looks and her eyes shatter, as if in cryogen
Now my feet on the ground
Looking at her I can see she’s starving,
But I’m offering her flowers
Nothing more than feverfew and lavender

whim

The smell of the cold wind and a diesel engine will never fail to whisk me back to the thought of you cursing and throwing your phone; it all makes me want to never look back again
Thought I saw your face under the ice, but I just ran away
I know you’re not a spectre; your wrath is merely that of human form
Limited only by doors and locks and maybe a court order
But not, ever, by your whim to torture

closer

You can’t escape
You’re surrounded by darkness inside and out
So thick it feels heavy as you try to move
The smell of decay overwhelms you and makes you gag
You’re ripping open your stitches with your bare hands
but they just keep coming
or maybe it’s bugs creeping in
Beetles and earthworms
You hear it in the distance but it’s getting louder now it’s coming, advancing, it’s closer, it’s stifling
