Aquarium
Rotten.
Rotten.
Spoiled memories.
Dead images.
Corpses dancing around with a blue hue swallowing them
As we sat there through the chaos since day one.
I knew it deep down.
I knew they weren’t real.
Soulless.
That's why we were on the bench and they were not.
A bench that also isn’t real.
Made up stories.
Fairytales told to lull the child to death.
And you.
You sang me to sleep every night beneath the swirls humming.
An aquarium of convincing lies and deceitful dreams.
It did not happen
Nothing happened
Nothing is real
The comfort of the black holes upon your eyes.
Never awake, never asleep.
Speaking languages you don’t understand
Muted.
Muted.
Muted.
The calmness of your raging whirlpools
Screaming curses out into a deaf sky—
An ignorant sky that doesn’t care for shit.
Shut up.
Nothing is happening.
I swallow poison
Knowing it’s poison.
Please run out before they’re here.
It's not serious.
Nothing is serious.
They're all light-hearted jokes.
It’s all a dream.
TOUGHEN UP CAN’T YOU TAKE A JOKE?
Go to sleep.
Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.
Sleep is also fake.
They're telling lies so he feels better.
You're not real.
You're rotting.
You're off.
Everything is off and everyone is off because nothing is real.
All there exists is corruption, pain, and guilt
And no one will do a thing about it.
Watch a movie, chew gum, listen to them talk like it was yesterday.
It's not yesterday.
It's not 4 days ago.
But you understand!
He saw all the jigsaw pieces I neatly arranged
With gaps between them
And he didn’t know what to do with them.
I thought I needed to hold his right hand,
Pinch the pieces between his fingers and put them together
But that’s insane
You're insane.
It's not 10 months ago.
But you?
You axiomatically solved the puzzle!
Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was no puzzle.
He just made it seem like there was one.
Gaslight.
Gaslight.
GASLIGHT HER.
It's not 13 minutes ago.
You wish it was.
I can't believe it actually happened.
I were there and it happened.
You sat beside me
Your voice did
I was there.
Everything happened.
