river

eyelids sink by clouds
apathetic skies pour down
crash around, the city drowns
melt away all that's around me

footsteps trudge along
and ill hum a monochrome song
dusk till dawn, carry on
the city dribbles on down my cheeks

. . .

the street lamps shone like stars
to profess how far we are
dashing cars, lonely heart
insignificance, engulf me

arms protrude my mind
transparent lines spill from my eyes
they sting inside, they sting inside
crazed corruption, ravished time

i broke.
shatters dot the sky
time's hoax;
delusions fly on by
please don't.
stay. away stay away

its ok
