Anger Breeds Contempt - Immortal Bird

Argue with me

Until I become a child again

Craving silence

When I wanted attention

You brought me torment

Why did either of us think

We weren’t doomed

Penchant for dissociation

Being with you

Is like being alone

But watched from a dark corner

I can see the glow of your eyes when I close mine

Bones are wearing down

Chipping away

I am

I am not

Lost

I am

Not a lost

Cause

I am.

Not a red.

Flag

When you

When you drown

I. Will know.

True relief

You

Do not.

Deserve my

Life

You are.

Infection

If.

I turn.

To face you

Know I’ll

Become salt

Ephemeral

Set a course for lands we’d never reach

Limping through the weeds

While I stare on blankly

Commensalism

Turned parasitic almost at once

It was you

Who made me feel dull

I can’t forgive that

I can’t forgive you

Limerence

Now it seems glaringly obvious

Attachment

I cannot be left alone with this

Empty space
