Bitter Brackish Fairytale

Blitz poem. These are fun.

Bitter, Brackish Fairytale

11/21/13

A blitz poem

 

Bite the bullet

Bite of ice

Ice to bone

Ice to brackish

Brackish ending

Endings so pale

Ending the part

Part the Red Sea

Part the evening

Evening lunar flair

Evening gown to spend with you

You equate the solution

You, ablaze like brimstone eyes

Eyes that keep watching

Eyes that do not dare

Dare to take the plunge

Dare to keep off drugs

Drugs numb me entirely

Drugs manifest addiction

Addiction is a foundation

Foundation caked on makeup

Makeup our chemicals

Makeup won’t conceal

Conceal your flaws endlessly

Conceal everything you hate

Hate the cup of sanity

Hate everyone who laughed

Laughing they are slipping

Slipping on rings of coal

Slipping to hellish cores

Core my being off itself

Core my situation like none other

Others glazed eyes like syrup

Others can go f**k themselves

Themselves are nothing

Themselves are hollow

Hollow, watch me come undone

Hollow, watch my crumble

Crumble like a cracker

Crumble like thick plaster

Plaster of Paris

Plaster on the walls

Walls that know how to breathe

Walls that take hold over me

Me? I’m innocent

Me? I have not sinned today

Today we will dance

Today we will make revisions

Revisions of my fairy tale

Story tale goes bitter

Bitter….

Fairy tale…. 

Author's Note

Most of this has to do with my past and how desperate I was for things to change and how easily manipulated I was.
