Salvation

[tuna_or_die]

The way you lose your breath,
Invites me to disguise myself
Exhumed in solitary
Meditation now we’re
Shadows broken by the sounds
Of breathless stars
Dripping with ripe decay.

Looking at the static in the mirror,
Holding back and now it’s
Through the window
Memories of a distant future,
Energies and simulated resolutions
Comatose perverted in conclusion
Every time I think I close my eyes,
It’s you who’s gotten lost and is confused,
It’s you who’s hanging
By the thread of any noose
Holding on to any sickened notion
Set astray to feign a sign
Of recognition.

And now I’m blind through
These heavy curtains
You pull over me,
Reminding me as to why
I hate the sun,
Where my obscurity becomes
The patterns sewn and stitched
In every fabric
I would make of my mistakes.

And why my eyes burn
When I finally see that
Blistering light,
This new sensations coming over me,
Allowing me to digress
Before the day comes to an end,
And in that joyous illumination
You’ll forever be the knife
Behind my back,
Always sharpened and exposed
Reminding me how much I really care.
