Chemicalize

The fear of failing the things we love can turn our life into a lie.

what wonders whisper in your ears at night 

that seed the sound of sleeping right 

as murders bloom in dreams that fall 

unrealized

can you hear their timeless cries?

have you ever found yourself...
quiver-lipped and closed-lid eyes

pretending nothing--silence--why

the ghosts you fled bled your soul dry

inside--translucent, inject your life 

with listless blood-veils and dance above 

trails on flesh from fear you fail to hide 

disguise--inimical--in chemical lies
