Another Self

Another self

Unmasking pain

I loosen the rope

You tighten the reigns

So much acid

From this Nightingales beak

Yet this isnt a dream

I am not asleep

The sandman watches

From beside my bed

Voices shriek

Angry in my head

A shiver runs

along my spine

It was not there

Those days you were mine

For days we would flash

Polaroid smiles at the world

Our Joy in infinity

Animated girls

I loosen the rope

You tighten the reigns

Determined to relinquish

Some of this pain

sad poetry
