it becomes a challenge drawing blood given time the passion fades first next you loosen your thoughts and fists willing to accept you compromise till you have no faith lost on their field you forget what it was you were ever fighting for, contrived and afraid
backtracked some words ago written ink strewn mouth-less they sing now more than weeks ago now with pressure to produce i search the coasts and mainland of every notebook
a middle road makes candy my way to compensate for the loss of cigarettes to the root these gums bleed where have all my baby teeth gone degradations to blame a cursed axe brings me home buried shame beams and lamp posts strewn across the family farm my will becomes uncontested like trust and banks it drives me with blind faith
