Tears have doused the laval flow
That erupted in my chest
And melted the breath out of me
Yet again the jumble of words
Tied my tongue to my throat
And they tumbled out backwards
Forever misunderstood, misguided, misconstrued, missing & multiplicity staining the page,
Knees scraped from apologies stuck like gum to the bottom of my shoes,
Criss-cross lashes mark the multitude of worldly sins spoken,
Flesh feels no sting nor electric jolt of nervous fibres,
Pain is but a four letter word to describe emotions which don't exist here,
For feeling comes with cautions,
Roadblocks to another place,
Unattainable yet beautiful,
Which will never be the end of this tale
For although the fire is doused for now,
The molten lava has set the heart in stone,
And asphyxiated the brain of it's beloved oxygen,
There is nothing left but to pick up the charred, molten mess
And close the stone eyes that stare forevermore
