Peristalsis;
Smooth muscle contracting downward
But wait a minute –
You know I fixate, regurgitate
I’m a baby bird
Oh, but it’s the mother who feeds their young this way
Hmm
I will produce no-one to provide for
My DNA will remain with me
Closed within this cage of flesh and consciousness
I can feel music
Predict rhythm
Visceral movement
Widen the schism
Poetic convulsions
Ripple through space and time
In this simple kitchen
Where I reside
And my time I bide
There is indeed history in the rooms of this house

Dissociation After The Storm
Visions tortured me through the night
Racing thoughts relentless
Images violent
Angry tyrant
Eating my own fleshMixed state madness
Slice a piece off and put it in the frying pan
It’s sizzling hot
Sane? I’m not
Couldn’t get out of my headOn and on it went
Body gave in, in the end
Two hours of peace
I emerged
Quite perturbed
Checked out, inwardly deadIf I hung from the rail
Perhaps it would squeeze the mess from my mind
Let the poison out
Stab of a knife
No more strife
Just flesh and blood -
Limerence
You’re so apathetic
Towards me
I feel pathetic
Eventually you’ll message
And be so apologeticPlease don’t apologise I’ll say
Just refrain
And I’ll smile
And you’ll nod
And I won’t tell you
That I’ve been going slowly insane -
Astrophysicist Implosion Blues
Empty black hole
Gaping hole for a soul
Sucks you in, crushes you down
Don’t make a noise, don’t make a sound
Empty black holeEmpty black hole
Gaping hole for a soul
Can’t breathe, can’t scream
Can’t live, can’t dream
Empty black holeEmpty black hole
Gaping hole for a soul
Can’t think, all is bleak
I must die, I’m a freak
Empty black hole -
I Let You
I can’t believe you did this to me
I can’t believe I let you
10 years gone by, I hope I die
Maybe then I’ll relent and forget you. -
Sleepless
Sleep eludes me
When will it come?
I feel relief, I feel ashamed
As I know what I’ve done. -
Mind
Mind;
If you are me and I am you
Shouldn’t we work together, us two?
In a prison cell devoid of autonomy
Is how you make me feel, can’t you see?You made me crazy, you made me numb
I couldn’t speak, you made me dumb
You nearly killed me, hurt me through and through
And you made me damage my family tooCan we ever learn to be friends?
Before we come to our end?
Consequences must be considered
Lest we die and wither. -
Nothingness
Emptiness
Hollow chest
Only excess
To fill the nothingness -
Darkness Within
There’s a darkness within me
Even when I’m okay, I feel it bubbling away
In the depths of meWhen will it resurface?
It’s there, though I may seem not to care
I’m scared of those feelings, they’re cursesLike ever-expanding black hallways in the Navidson house,
A gutteral growl, a foreboding sound
Echoes from the chambers of my soulI could get lost in there
No way back, tether snapped
I fear it will be my inevitable demise -
Dopamine
There is no-one in the world I would like to be near right now, except for you
I’m not sure how you feel about this, a meeting of just us two
I want to say more, but I’ll keep this clean
It’s all about the dopamineI’d like a hit in many senses of the word
Would you do this for me, would my request be heard?
I know what you could bring to the table
The thought of it makes me unstableBack to the beginning, back to the primitive
No thoughts, just sensations to play with
And dopamine, one hit, then another
I’d definitely need some time to recoverThen back to the real world
My head in a swirl
Reality must always be found again
But we could play for a moment at least, my dopamine friend
