Nothing Was The Same

Cliff hangers in the form of words,

the ones you never spoke to me.

The way things toss and turn in the world,

I can't force myself to believe.

Static phrases leaving your mouth,

just to inevitably paralyze me.

My thoughts have moved south,

and formed nests in your trees.

I try to escape each fragment,

that you fire in my direction.

I find that joy has been absent,

in your empty minded projection.

Scorch my expectations in a sentence,

apathy seems to have a grip on this.

Losing the sheen of your old essence,

but you're not ready to call it quits.

So take what's left of me,

and stomp it out with your feet.

Please try to make me believe,

that I'm as worthless as you make it seem.

Crush me like the soil you walk,

and wipe me from your shoe like grime.

Tell me how sad existence is,
