reality laughs as we crumble
realize there is no control
reminded that all this will end
mono no aware
sweet smells of storms subsiding
spark memories stuck spinning
hands of ghosts claw marks into the walls
impermanence
endless fixation upon oblivion
scoffing at optimists, favor the pathos
alone in the ashes we regurgitate our scars
and the mask slips further away
what
remains
that unnameable something
piercing like a rapier
for we know not why
longing for we know not what
shrieking hymns into the wind
imploring beasts beseech again
beneath the nightfall deep caves surface
futures traced from deep piled ashes
slicing deep into the cortex
billions of unbalanced surgeons
misery and loneliness
exacerbate through eloquence
bleary eyes stare through lost futures
knuckles ground on pulsing temples
wrenching ones we loved too early
we knew ourselves too late
tearing the fingernails
from discarded futures
it all turns to dust on our tongues
but then it’s back again
clenching fists
buzzing brain
basking in shame
this cant be all there is
what did you do
why do u do this
what do u do now
regret is not enough
what did i do
why do i do this
what do i do now
regret is all I know
que saudade!
sensucht
sickly nostalgia
utopian conceptions of ideal development
the way we were
desperate privation
the way we are
sense incompleteness, imperfection of life
the pain we feel
this pain will forever be
those we love
will echo throughout the vastness of time
the way it will be
the way it’s always been
by reflecting compassion upon ourselves -adjust maybe?
are we complete
which truth should be confirmed
for talons claw to spite the feathers
Sing through the heartache
scream with the madness
overwhelm the chorus clipped moods wings
fallen among spineless humanity
enervating supine luxury
It will never be the last time
endless fixation upon oblivion
scoffing at optimists, favor the pathos
enshrined by those ashes we look up to the stars
and the past slips further away
