  • Reign of Absolution

    may i reveal to you my inner being?
    i promise you may defile the contents;
    rip apart and analyze every bit
    to the full extent of your heart's content

    should you find something displeasing
    please, don't allow me to explain
    simply leap to your own conclusion,
    don't forget your obsenities and foul names

    my most beloved memories
    and fondly treasured events
    are yours to erase and redo
    in your own point of view

    if i become distraught and disagree
    feel free to yell and then flee;
    leave only your words in the air
    slice mine to threads,
    it's not like i care

    suffocate my ears:
    "how things should be;"
    dictate to me:
    i'm no longer my own entity

    tangle my dreams around my wrists,
    use your fancy knots and barbed wire;
    fantasizing is forbidden,
    realizing is taboo

    transformation is complete;
    my free-fall is now dive bombing.
    i'm ever grateful for your distaste.
    my journey to rock-bottom
    simply wasn't progressing fast enough.

    as my life flashes before my eyes,
    i pray these words saturate your air,
    penetrate each of your thoughts,
    leave your bedside haunted and empty,
    hurtle you into my cage.
