oh, no longer

Dec

2009

i am pollution

evil at my core in store

i create the toxin to dissuade

your pain

an acid rain

i make

your soul i take

absorb, i revel in

your being, aliveness

i place upon

a wicked shelf

i find myself

asking why i try

to fit you in my paradigm

clearly you exist outside

my dissonance trying to reconcile

this checkbook

of equity

of subsistence i try

to mind my accounting of

right and wrong

i sing my song

we know so well

i live inside this lonely hell

my shell broken

yours that much stronger

with you i am no longer
