In the moment before the last sliver of the sun descends from visibility, past the skyline to the west
It always turns me!

It hurts me!
This decaying place within
Silently,
Poignantly,
It revokes me
Threatens to destroy with ugliness and bitterness the bitterness and ugliness that equals me!
Godawful me!

I’m an abomination
The scorched carbon end of the wick left when the pretty store-bought candle is used up
But someone gave that shriveled burnt-up detrytus power
Power to move minds
And I am begging you,
pleading you don’t listen
Step away
Don’t let me get into your head
Turn away and never look back
Because I am a path
that leads to the catastrophic
annihilation of perfection
And yet it hurts me!

It hurts me!
This decaying place within
Silently,
Poignantly,
It revokes me
Threatens to destroy with ugliness and bitterness the bitterness and ugliness that equals me!
God!
Godawful me!
God!
Godawful me!
God!
Godawful ME!!

In the moment before the last sliver of the sun descends from visibility, past the skyline to the west
It gives me a false sense of peace.
It reminds me of a time I never knew
Time I never would know was sinking quickly below the horizon.
And for a moment I’m there.
For a moment I am goodness
And it hurts me.
It hurts me.
It hurts me…

It hurts me!
It hurts me!
This decaying place within
Silently,
Poignantly,
It revokes me
Threatens to destroy with ugliness and bitterness the bitterness and ugliness that equals me!
Godawful me!

Me!

Me!

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-e-e-e-e
