Symbiosis

A Poem by mtachi
"

The falling apart.

"

Time again, the liquor fade,

As out from the cold,

And into the haze,

Devoid of sound, devoid of fear,

All in one we came to be,

A symbiote that came to live,

Whispered in the universe,

To hold you to it,

Won’t let you free,

For once you’re in,

You’re all of me.


Drunk in the ashes,

And the glitter phase,

In the glory of the moment,

When I’m subsumed in the gaze,

Of a man who shouldered,

The burden of haunting,

And as Atlas came to be,

He came to me,

Won’t let you free,

For once you’re in,

You’re all of me.


I have never learned to ease,

The troubles devouring me,

A cool hand that grabs at my chest,

Binding me to fear, that I may never rest.


Pulse again the forgotten way,

For this is the heart,

The lungs, the brain,

That tear the walls of home apart,

Crawling through the nether realm,

He came to me with devil’s helm,

Bound to serve at the totem,

And everything I begged to owe him,

Won’t let you free,

For once you’re in,

You’re all of me.


Inside the tomb, inside the depths,

I dwell, the murderer,

That left the corpse out there to rot,

In the golden winds that kept her,

Far from silver, breathing me,

The toxin flowing in the vein,

That never let you take it in,

The nitrogen, the oxygen,

Won’t let you free,

For once you’re in,

You’re all of me.


I have never learned to free,

The devils caught and chained in me,

The touch of hell kept in the breast,

Beating out my torn up chest.


I wish I’d known the way you called,

The summer days as you grew old,

But lost to dust, the ashes flew,

And into the wind, the spirit renewed,

A journey that leads to nowhere,

That’s all these prisons ever were.
