Censorial Deprivation
I am exhausted from trying to convince other people to care
about me. It should not have to be so
hard. This constant rationalization
based on pittance pats of desire treating every molecule of a semblance of
interaction as mana in a desert. I am a
famished fool. Back in the cave, spasmodic
idiot.
The predictability of silence has me praying for deafness so
that I could be fooled into a divergent iteration of response coming back to me
in these salvos of human seepage. Keep
it in the angel of the human strum, the harp-song prostitution innately ours to
reach out for a connection from within these prison bars. We know there is no one there and yet we
stretch. We know the geometry of shoulders,
width of synapse between the iron, yet we expand to feel the skin of the other
crying in our pondered oceans sailing there in broken station.
I want the sound of a new break down and written clean if
not for a generation of broken seams. I
miss you everyday and I am not sure if it is because I am lonely or if it is
you. I have not seen you in so long and
my senses are blurred. I remember the
scent of you stopping by dropping off an Easter cookie and April
feels like a lifetime ago. Something
inside me barters that there is a future for us out there and you need this
time to prove that we deserve to exist or some sort of logic that maybe you are
enjoying this other man in your life far better than me. I am only a fallback plan an alternative I do
not wish to feel like. I do not wish to
be this infinitely optional un-chosen ghost of a partner to be walked-out on
again and I am broken in a thousand directions.
Everyday is full of heavy
breathing and questions, questions, questions, as if the faith that God exists
and ration has a place in this universe that you and I had a purpose to be
beyond what has previously been is at risk.
I feel so sophomoric, foolish to contemplate such delusions. Midnight has already struck and I am still
staring at my watch waiting for the day to change.
Are you even who I hope you
are? Am I just praying on an enigmatic
illusion, phantom one-touch more and there you go flying off to other shores
thinking I know why things were the way they were before, so afraid and junkie
jumpy and gone you go and left me coming up snake-eyed dead and daunted heavy,
callous and privy to a bevy of conjecture assaulting the humidity of sleepless
blood that never comes to rest.
This conjecture in me bends
to say that you need me to love another before you can contemplate the day that
we could ever be a we again. I am trying
to wash myself with a rebound-stimulating melt and yet I can find no voice to
respond. The world is a vapid hole. No face is calling and I am buried in the
bold aching truth of knowing just how alone I truly am.
I pray my book will bind the
stage of where God wants me to go as if proving will in this world and God to
be born in the nest of all my mistakes to script these chapters of gut-wrenching
life. Maybe I must be alone for me to
take that step and so I am going as fast and as natural as I can whether it
matters to an us or you or not.
