#My-Soul-Bleeds-Inkpasserbyby ~EternalSundayraspy voice, like a demon begging for mercy. she was always a broken melody, a puzzle with no corner pieces. i can see her, drenched by the truth in her own words, "i am just a crack in the concrete, marked by the footsteps of people like you." |

callous and this is where i fall apart, bleedingcallous by ~EternalSunday
but not as we know it.
you emptied me of sunsets, of the sweet scent
worn by summer air,
of the silence found in longing, the wish
for something far away.
you scraped off a layer of my skin,
there were dancers and drifters, bound by
rhythm but not by time.
(i was a child, wandering, sipping the atmosphere
like tap water.)
you demanded truth in layers of secret pathways,
but lost yourself in tangled ribbons,
choking us both like frightened snakes.
labyrinthian i guess i've started to doubt(my)humanity,labyrinthian by ~EternalSunday
we bat our eyelashes in morse code
and expect to be heard,
but nobody really listens.
(and i must say, you are quite good at acting
like a person, but people
are only a facade, when it comes down
we're animals.
why should we matter more than mosquitoes?)
you'll always keep wondering
about the meaning of life
"maybe it's all in my head," you said. "a nightmare
meant just for me."
but honestly, why would we mean anything?
(you yell at the stars to come closer, cry out
for god to let you see.)
but god hides behind closed doors
just like schrodinger's cat,
neither alive or dead.
mirror/daughter why is itmirror/daughter by ~EternalSunday
that my mother can't stand the quiet
as we drive down the same
road as usual?
she talks and i nod, turn on
the radio to escape her endless banter.
and she
always finds a reason to say
things that hurt me
but not her.
i try not to listen, try not to yell
and cry and
(i paralyze time, inhale/exhale
this is just a 15 minute drive, and maybe
maybe she will understand.)
but she never realizes
i'm not a younger version of her,
a copy, with the same data installed.
portrait of a modern samurai i once met a manportrait of a modern samurai by ~EternalSunday
who talked of energy and butterflies,
"communication solves everything,
we just
need to sit down and talk."
he said he was a samurai, a great composer of magic.
i almost thought he'd claim to be god.
he swore to bring peace in a swirl of melodies,
"just vote for me and i'll be
the president of japan, have a talk with obama
and make everything alright."
i wish it was that simple.
everything's imaginary, even the truth i picked my words casually,everything's imaginary, even the truth by ~EternalSunday
like a bored child
on a picnic,
pulling weeds from the ground.
(i don't remember what we spoke of, but
afterwards we walked home
with our eyes locked to the pavement).
and i just don't understand,
why you hold onto me
like a precious secret.
i am always disoriented by daydream landscapes,
reality passes me by in an instant,
a departing train.
and you have to pull me back, to grey cities
and pedestrian crossings.
(i'd be lost without you,
but you
would be happier, wouldn't you?)
