all i wanted a warmth once granted your moon, slung and freezing all i'm needing i can't wait to get my hands on you around your neck around your chest i can't embrace you without a blood moon without a thought without a god all our poison forms an ocean inside our hearts never apart from you there is no rest, no peace in death at least i think maybe we'll see like a dog i want out and i want back in i'm not tired of living i'm just tired of this wretchedness and piss piled on a strained ego piled on an id

truly remarkable the human quality to create disorder even in the most idyllic of situations

piss glistens like dull pain i am not what you thought phobias stack drones amass how much i love you and how i see through i wake up in pain go to sleep the same real physical pain internally ache but your thighs make me feel nice make me feel like applesauce mushy and comfy peanut butter and honey gonna spend all my money hoping they can do something inheritance of piss and polyps imbibing probiotics and whiskey wheat products and poultry now i'm paying my penance watching glistening piss outside of a home i did not build, in a body i did not construct

hey kid, that's the whole point of pain is that it hurts pain is nothing but a response to inaction "the thread of human hope is spun with the flax of sorrow"

i might cough up but i don't break down cause i'm not one for losing out maybe once this all blows over i'll pick you up and take you out i just want death without desire maybe then this won't go on this pitiful endless discomfort i am the dirt just bring me back i am the dirt just bring me back now i am afraid that i can't stay i've played my game and now i will become the earth and sun, succumbed i've got my syringe but the pain may recur just take a little at a time i can make my own damn choices as long as i can breathe free air to never live consigned to life to welcome pain and embrace strife so concerned with all the minutiae everything we need is here everything we need is here now i am afraid that i can't stay i've played my game and now i will become the earth and sun, chords strummed

as we walked up the stairs the dying man remarked, "the philosopher and his muse" i was amused earlier his older wife grilled me on the nature of afterlives and happiness i said, "happiness is relative" we're all sick right now but maybe we'll get better maybe i won't fear death when it meets me at the end to continuously deny the imminent that is the nature of man i know nothing will ever be like dreams when i oversleep so clear, so vivid, and so true but we could be happy or at least be something more than mud suck my cock, kurt vonnegut
7.
the skin on your face like the tongue of my first dog we got when i was seven familiar and warm the poison in me you gulp like a dog if love is a tool meant to aid in our pain leaves us feeling ashamed leaves us feeling okay
8.
through the most boring pain you find different ways through your days to suit your vanity finding new ways to cope with all the fuel for that rope you make me sick with your nothingness even if i could be something that God could see an absentee is all he's guaranteed

methuselah 06:22
methuselah your roots are strong but where's your will to leave this world and pass onto a better place i pray there is a better place methuselah i wanna know how did you learn to get so numb that must be how you lived so long methuselah we live alone in labyrinths of debt and scum we cling to life there's something wrong
11.
i have not yet found saplings in the ground i can almost see distance marked by trees from me to you with love unproved writhing in the dirt dripping with regret you're still just as sure sight trained on my back this knot undone a lot and none grinding to a halt embers drowned with salt drifting to cold sleep soil underneath unearth the truth an IOU
