fight for the time
when we face the vessels
capsize a feeling of deterioration
my only time left alive
take the direction
when we take a stance
paralyze this true vision
blindness in ability
a concept detained
scraping the pieces lost from your memory
an aching cutting clean
face regression past instability
thread my sickness like Christmas trees
each light flashes inside your snowstorm
lodged in memory
ingest to face but burn away
determination lost in observation
a checkmate broken alive
blood that doesn’t heal
sweat that doesn’t reflect the damage left in your eyes
memories wish me away
roll down the boulevards
patterns ring with every measure
painting disciples
lost on canvas screens
trace against the rest
march into their wounds
protection cuts me deep
dreams sewn shut
cut off the guard buried from reach
faces we can’t memorize
abilities yet to break into film
every character finds their role
the weight of the arrow
illuminated with every mistake
days absolved
years burned alive
a forecast where we can’t numb time
faces left without an apology
Shattered Mind
