"Find what you love and let it kill you." -Charles Bukowski


These veins are made strong

Enriched from the natures of itself

But strong can only cradle so much


I live in the remains of a mind

Where rotting comes kindly

Trust me I see

Nature’s pride

And she has only hung me up to dry


I can’t breathe


My lungs are closing

My toes curl at the thought

I’m straw sucked clean


And I’m gasping for air


And you told me

it’s only lost hydration


See, these veins

Are my lifeline

I can’t count to you

The all the times I've scabbed over

After  weekly cleansing---draining


But I’m still stained
