Thrive on Neglect
Argue with me Until I become a child again Craving silence When I wanted attention You brought me torment Why did either of us think We weren't doomed Penchant for dissociation Being with you Is like being alone But watched from a dark corner I can see the glow of your eyes when I close mine Bones are wearing down Chipping away I I am I am not Lost I am Not a lost Cause I am. Not a red. Flag When you When you drown I. Will know. True relief You Do not. Deserve my Life You are. Infection If. I turn. To face you I Know I'll Become salt Ephemeral Set a course for lands we'd never reach Limping through the weeds While I stare on blankly Commensalism Turned parasitic almost at once It was you Who made me feel dull I can't forgive that I can't forgive you Limerence Now it seems glaringly obvious Attachment I cannot be left alone with this Empty space

We are cursed Darkened door Hastened heartbeat Stakes seem so high In the moment Come to terms With your efforts Treading water Flexing muscle Forsaken Toxic urge Declarations Haze of ego Sit in your shame A stench you can't wash out In false accounts Of your early actions You're not affected, you're just mechanical Try proving me wrong I'll leave the door open And the light on Avert your gaze You paint the truth In third-party blood Give yourself to earth Tethered by association You weren't invited Borne of a parasite Wrapped in your sweet disguise I warned you Carry objects Not memories Laughter airy as your conviction Smile brittle as your interest Pointless social exercises will not dictate what transpires I will end you

Face down In a pool of oil Open, glistening Foolish dripping maw It's all personal As this silence grows, so does envy Centipede, crawl to the shadows Hide Lose all your legs and learn the process Squirm Sink Only the eyeless glowing grubs remain Sickly white Dying still Choir of weakened gasping I'll stay here nourishing my demons They don't let me eat It is distracting They want death So do I They'll tell you this is how it has to be Abandon hope and worship apathy

Infatuated with not being alone Blinded by gratitude Stumble onto your pedestal Who could be well enough To withstand your level of indifference Joy curdles Stale impostor Sharpen them Into subtle barbs Puncture the skin Our fragile happiness Ripped by—an accidental brush Sting me into silence I need this to end At any cost I was promised A better hand Drink from me Why pull away I can't escape your acrid mouth And gnawing doubt I have no time To make it right Clumsy ill-timed affection Loaded with expectation I will not be Your great mistake You are not mine But then I went numb I never miss your voice It pulls my hair With sticky fingers and angry whispers Fighting nausea Leaden moments Aching Wilting Alternating Between hurt and Nothing Nothing! There was a time That I believed Every word You spit my way Now they land Shy of my feet This won't hurt long Superficial bonds Tested by little Wounded by all You don't know what this means You will assume I let you go But I jumped Right after you fell

When you have no option, look inward Lead yourself to water, or the slaughter Learn to climb over human terrain Weaponize your internal monologue Confront the idea of death Through inactivity Wilful ignorance Deny mortality Maybe, you're the exception Finding yourself Faced with your own guilt How can you be so sure It isn't manufactured Out of self interest? I have no interest All the drive No patience Difficult behaviour Rampant failure Ignore defeat and crippled intent Crawl to mediocrity The law is broken The emperor is naked Bound Gagged Stuffed Slumped Bloated

Ruinous animal Drag yourself into the sea Go quietly Your voice scrapes at my patience Agonizingly dense A slow-witted nightmare Peals of vapid noise Erupting from a thoughtless hole Beady-eyed and lurching From one comfort to the next soft place Gelatinous and idle Utterly forgettable Inconsequential You have cursed My line of sight Lumbering into my path Bleary-eyed and oblivious Your lack of acuity No longer astounds me Sickened by your imbecilic energy Puerile mess Creeping in and infecting What I value Constant stream of distractions I can replace you With a lesser evil I'll choose to abandon When you are alone You can learn something But I know you won't Your flaccid mind Will always struggle To connect The simplest pieces

This is the time before all turns screaming, blinding, white I am too tired to judge you A wolf met with an open door This isn't what we wanted But this is where we are Enervated and vicious Inflamed and condemned Scratching at sores Filling with sickness I saw My years Without you As ruined Hollow Shells Now they are treasures Languishing in tepid pools Of stolen time Shimmering and deadly Your posturing looks like kneeling What's the point of civility? It's not in my muscle memory Like flinching or retreating We let things crawl between us And feed on our hidden wounds While I festered While I sat and wept You were sleeping Not everyone reacts You didn't feel it Turning away I suffered You didn't stir Bleeding out silently Bracing for the final drop There is only so much I can take There is only so much left to say Maybe nothing is a waste Or it all is
