The Day After Desperate

Missing image

Flat sticker plants
Ending the harassment brought on
By the plaque of bronze
Hanging on my wall
Shows me that I can't travel back
Into time when I got it
Dangling pleasure lost in the wind
All alone
In a place where no one breathes
Opposite of warming sunshine
Don't lie
Don't cry
Why
Blowing up in my face
As it falls into my hands
This world cuts his face
Leaves a few single mothers
A father disgraced
Unharmed
But alive
Day after day
Calling at least three times
Leave a message
Memorizing the names of these patients
Citizens of their own minds
Love has nothing to do
With faith in everyone's thoughts
I'd leave the door
If I could travel back in time

...gnireffus ni yrassecen gnihton si erehT...

Apocalyptic waste does not do me fancy

Only thrives off the beings

Inhabiting this world

But these things are what I can not

Watch in the shows they described

In the media

Dirty diamonds don't matter for cash

Gold fingers erect the truth through lies

And I'm awake day after day

The day after desperate

If I saw imperfection

I'd gladly cut it off and eat it

If I could

But you can't lock me up

From wanting to try and make a change

I can demand

You can't deny why I ask why

Flag down and beat the door

Walls are empty and I feel unwanted

But now I find a place all around

Stranggle souls, dangle spiders

Play something

All Alone

All around the world

I'll listen to these songs

Day after day after the nights into the day

The day after desperate

Author notes

Inspired by Subtle's song "I Heart LA"

    This is amazing. The flow was so perfect and the continuing imagery throughout the whole piece was stunning. It was long but kept me captivated. Thank you so very much for entering, I wish you the best of luck!

    It's almost like you feel so much you can't express it all. Intelligence and emotion...real.

    you are out there, so is this, even though you said it is inspired by a song.

    it is still weird.
