you wear guilt like shakles on your feet, like a maiden in distres, like a halo in reverse

Dripping
Slowly, we are all drowning
It hate
In love
In tears
In blood
Slowly, we are all falling apart
Hearts are shattering
Minds are steaming
Hands are shaking
Mouth stapled shut
Slowly, we are turning against each other
We’re thinking
We’re judging
We’re hating
We’re leaving
Slowly, we all stand alone
No more leaders
No more veterans
No more thinkers
Only believers
With no inspiration
To follow through
Drip, drip, drip
