Lost
By Guillotine
i feel like a broken toy;
hung in front of a world unworthy
raped
of my value and jaded
bitter; coarse - like my corners
offend
the universe.
my eyes, in this moment
could swallow stars
twisting on the head of a pin
and folding inwards;
a kaliedoscope
kismet comet
aimed for collision;
an explosion of mute and blind
like a grenade
or a volcano
- erupting in black & white
sutured by my own impotence to act
because I'm terrified of change
or terrified of myself
and all the self-knowledge I've gained.
I'm lost in my dreamscapes -
and I've taken so many drugs
I
haven't felt my feet in weeks
and this empty bottle
feels like
an uttered metaphor.
I've a sorry, a thankyou and a goodbye
lurking
in the corners of my tongue.
