Set Fire To Synapse

Poem

By Sam Mosley Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Ran into problems today; it was my distinctive taste. Now I'm stuck riding out the edge of the clock. I needed someone to blame; This feeling will rearrange, my troubled head letting go of things I can't stop. Despair will penetrate, this rotting core I have made. Synapse misfire, nothing but broken English. I bare a hell within me, that no one wishes to see. I have tried; this is nothing I can extinguish.

Drowned down reluctance, I am not a loss. Found out decisions do come with a cost. Blanket your troubles with anything you need. As long as you stay covered up next to me. Your placement has got me weak, while my heart hesitates to beat. Finally found the cord to power my lonely score.

I am a blasted tree; this lightning bolt maimed me. These limbs lay attached so unsteady. There's a difference in the way you and me sin. I've shut out this port-way of anxiety. I am a shattered wreck, and I'm here to collect myself as the shadow of a human being. It was a cold hard day; I was reluctant to stay. No one considered to anything I was seeing. Save all of your apologies, for something you may need. You go places where everything seems clear. Lies will readmit from sins we all commit. False impressions on dreams that I held dear.
