Orchids.

By saturatedloneliness6

Step back into the dark
Confess your sins and begin a new life
Drink the wine - be the hero
Bend your legs behind the wire; exhale.

Thoughts creeping out of every crevice
Innocence, vanished, cruelty lives on
Beg for it to take you, give in
Rejection, again.

Inhale; pressure fills your body
Close your heavy eyes
Water seeps out, descends down and against the floor
Decaying from the inside out.

Save me!
Exasperation!
Annihilation!
Repulsion!
Decimation!
Execution!

Away – exhale - flittering off into the distance
Gone – inhale – you will be sanctioned
The calling – exhale – putrid and daunting
Sympathy – inhale – instigated.

Rebuild.

    There's something intangible about this piece that I just find really compelling and somehow empowering, with that final word, but I can't seem to explain why/how. My failing, not yours, there. And this line - "Bend your legs behind the wire; exhale." - is fantastic.
