Seriously?
December 24, 2009
Lights are out
TV's gone
The monsters in the basement
( un- ) locked in the back of my brain;
My conscience told me to steer clear
My skin's drawing thin
Layers peeling away
Nothing to reveal
Except maybe what you
Were making me
Become-
-became-
What happened to who we are-
-were-
(Lost in the confusion)
Thought
I was right;
You were always
Right.
(It's always too dark to say so.)
I can't speak without the hum
Of
Pulse
Of
Electric Life.
