MartyrdomInstitute Killjoy Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 2 | 1) - For Maddy, Part One Why another world even matters is beyond me, A question reserved for great thinkers Lazing in smoking jackets beside a sunset fire set in stone – Those whose tongues’ lash about life Seem never to have lived it. Yet this is a world you have created, A broken splinter of paper Ripped separate from the pad that youth provided. For we were all ink droplets, Alone, Yet bleeding together on one sheet; White and innocent as a wedding gown. But when the end came Your pen ran dry And you vanished. Yet still I write, And there are others here too; Others who know “keeping in touch” Is more than a coward’s replacement For “GOODBYE”. Together We hope you are merely scribbling in invisible ink, Still living, Still breathing, Still loving On Time’s aging white sheet. |
MartyrdomInstitute Killjoy Age: 34 Gender: Male Posts: 2 | 2) Nevermind Nevermind Even a forceful passport and A tear-soaked boarding pass and A heaven/Hell-sent road trip Keep me buckled to ancient ruins, A mercenarious tomb raider – For the highest bidder Consider my past God’s joke book. My blood-caked fingernails eat Into me as I claw you up – A fictitious grave robber, A metaphor too far? Such a deep hole for such a fresh funeral, A solitary rose has even yet to wither. An empty inbox sleeps Like a taunting school bully when the bell tolls; Why has time not cleansed my custom-built sin? A baptism of well-rehearsed lies Quarter-heartedly shed a snake’s skin As I hunch, Hand behind my back, fingers crossed. Deleting you appears as futile As calming a roaring forest fire with a dripping tap. Nevermind I’m sure my Oscar-winning apathy will see me through Lies’ lowly swamp, While Truth laughs down from his plateau. |
