Comprehension
Smoke rises. Wisps of grey clouding the blue sky.
Breath exhaled: a pale white.
Distant, a building, a match in my hand: it’s head, black.
There’s no end to my means.
I will continue on this path:
To break you.
And when you’re broken, I’ll move on.
Meandering through life. Destroying all that is beautiful.
All that I hold dear, must die.
It lingers. It burns. A warm flame to a cold hand; it’s too close now.
And it hurts. And it rips and tears and it’s ugly, but it’s the only constant.
I lash out, open lacerations on my fingertips, muttering that this is who you want me to be.
And I’ll scream, “I told you so.”
There’s not enough love. My heart holds too much hate.
There’s a bug in my head.
I can feel it crawling around.
And it whispers in the night,
“This is who you are.”
