Artificial Everything
These pale cheeks are now burning.
Burning with amphetamines:
You've provoked a monsoon of acidic rain,
It gushes, relentlessly, over the freckled rocks of my ageing face.
I drink, drink and drink again,
Numbing myself to this new abandonment,
And lying down
Screaming is the only action that will prevent the sky from falling.
Confounded by the peal of my own hysterical laughter,
And only half-conscious,
I ask the taunting wind:
"Why did Sister leave me?"
"I am alone, because I am surrounded,
Breathing, whilst being suffocated,
Feeling, as I fall through the abyss, down
To a glistening level of knives that will soften the blow of Nothing."
Sister made Everything, Nothing.
Inasmuch, Everything,
Was my Sister.

not an easy thing
to go through stuff like this. I hope these words help alleviate your pain. Very poignant and unique piece.
No you're right I imagine it
No you're right I imagine it isn't easy.
I am comforted by your message, but I have just written this for art's sake and for exploring new language. I am merely expressing a pain felt by many at times, or so imagined - not my own.
Best,
J.
