Feed me comfort
By the volume, by the dose.
Portioned powders
Always keeping close.
Never been a stranger to the dangers of the lows.
Never been a stranger to the safest ways to choke.
…
If we leave our cars and drop flowers from the overpass, will I lose feeling where I stand?
We can get a ladder, sweep the flour off the roof at 1682;
Will it have made me a better friend?
No.
I've been told the man behind the masquerade refuses to uphold.
The capsules that encapsulate the things I’ll never know;
Comfort is callow and slow.
I tried to quell the guilt you felt when you spilled it onto me.
Tried to attribute equally between alcohol and indignity;
(You can model cans and bottles, stumble through parades.
I'll remain a mystery, say sorry to my veins)
to carefully reconcile the rift between a grain of salt and settled shame.
I tried to quell the guilt you felt when you spilled it onto me.
If I substitute my face for something radiant, could I make peace with settled shame?
If the twine around my ankle circumvents the strain and swell,
I'd go numb just to give you the same.
