We mouthed suffocating #soliloquys
Deaths-head dreams
Sprouting silently from our lips
Assuming sanguine sobriquets -
Nightshade nom-de-plume's
Rich and earthy as worm food
Our songs spun as spider-silk
Sung in bone-white moonlight

The horizon wept
#Magenta tears
Justifying all our fears
Mournful of the wasted years
And still we laughed
To spite the night
The end was coming into sight
On nightmare wings it took to flight
Whispering of dying light
Our laughter ending
We bid goodnight

We broke molds
Unweighted
By the new's & old's
Unabated
By the views they hold
No high-fashion #chic
Just unique fleek
Living by day & week
Never no time to be meek
Meek was for the weak
And we were hunters
Hunting what we'd seek
But our outlook?
Our outlook always bleak

Here we lay
Both grim & #aphotic
The children all
Become psychotic
Wormwood rotted
Bleached-bone light
Above, Old Luna
Spites the night
Oroberous' blinded sight
Die, we will
Live, we might
And here we lay
I shall not pray
For all is left
A whisper:

Goodnight

Never #suave & sophisticated
Couldn't be domesticated
No flair for the debonair
Never participated
Clever, forever
Always anticipated
The stares & the glares
Met with no cares
Paid them no fares
Believin' that sucks
Second thoughts? No spares
And even less fucks

The Sun hid shyly
As though unwilling to watch
And we fell to wither & rot
Its #reflection trapped
In the beseeching eyes
Of the dying
Their prayers trapped
Behind soundless screams
It #mattered little
(#health being a thing of the past)
Until all was silent
Even I

Now it's time
For me to fly
No song of swan
Just this goodbye
With gasp & sigh
I breathe my last
The time has flown
It flew too fast
And all what's past
Gone in a blink
A second's thought
For me to think
I'm on the brink
My head to rest
The seconds #timed
I did my best

#vss365

Breathe in
Breathe out
A simple #action
One that surely
Ends too soon
Blessed with life
A finite boon
Quick to bloom
& fall to rot
Becoming that
Which all forgot
A falling tear
Lost in the rain
While those behind
Embracing pain
Perhaps these breaths
Were all for naught

I got tired, you know
Overwhelmed from being
Underwhelming
Wanting nothing more
Than to close my eyes
Drop all the weight & self-hate
Releasing the stress
And everything that made my
Head such a fucking mess
But it wasn't an #option
So I did what I could:
Kept breathing

#vss365
November 20, 2025 at 2:30 AM
The #option grim
To sink or swim
Perhaps we'll drift
Beneath the wave
Where there is little
Left to save
An onyx grave
There be no light
& All we crave's
Beyond our sight
Too weak to fight
Nephilim's grasp
And so we breathe
Our final gasp
Welcoming
Abyssal night

I never had the
Capacity
For perspicacity
The #reality?
My words & verbs
Stuck in an alleyway
Of banality
Let it be what it may
While others drive
Free on the freeway
Of he say & she say
The bars I spit & spray
Comes with a note
Of finality
Killer
Like a verbal fatality

Is this the #goal? He mused disconsolately. To draw in yet another agonizing, pointless breath?

To hear the maddeningly monotonous beep-beep-beep of the machines monitoring his vitals while laying here in this antiseptic hell?

Better to pull the fucking plug & be done.

Beyond within
Let end begin
For night grows near
(I shall not fear)

I cannot steer
So drift & veer
My hands too weak
(I shall not speak)

Though all is bleak
I will not seek
To find a lie
(I shall not cry)

And so I die
With whispered sigh
I join the night
(I shall not fight)

We took #issue
With how Sol died
Falling from the sky
With nary a whisper
& us alone to play
With the bleak things
So we found a new diety
Grinning in the night
With cold sickle smile
Ebon locks adorned
In distant diamonds
Limned in luminescent lunacy
We found our light

They spoke of the night sky in ancient #literature - old Luna framed by a billion pinpricks, smiling his knowing smile.

Yet we bid farewell to the stars, embracing the ebon abyss, knowing they were never for us.

Just twinkling memories, fallen as forgotten tears...

Dark heart
Marked soul
Can't lose
Control
Just have
One goal
Must play
Some role
Trust may
Be stole
Rust away
High toll
Must have been
My roll
Die cast
Not whole

Just my #education

We had no #creature comforts
Where I was born & bred
We worshipped triple-beam dreams
Razor blade cuts
& lined-up scenes
Suits & ties?
Shit...they were nothing but
The fruits of lies
Laughing
While the spark
In our eyes dies

Razor-traced lines
Cutting into an
#Argent filigree
The pain
Exquisite
Each line
Beautifully defined
And it's killing me
My feelings be
Unrefined
From a sundered mind
An Escher artwork
The ending
Underlined
And all I ever thought
Of myself
Now undermined

We're trapped here
In this petri dish #experiment
Microscopic menagerie
Living & dying
Under harsh light
Never knowing
If the last goodbye
Will be our next
Goodnight

'It's going to be ok', I think to myself as the voices - dead voices. Ghosts - #creep in, whispering in hidden corners.

Hungry.

Worms eat as worms do. Burrowing with malicious malfeasance, erasing & displacing all positive thoughts.

And my sanity? Nothing but a meal.

It's all going to come down to one final breath. The big things and small. The worries, fears, and preoccupations. Those you hate & those you love.

Forgotten in a final gasp.

The world will continue its #heliacal journey, until it too gasps its last.

And all is quiet.
