Almost A Shame

Its so warm
Yet so trapped
Eying the prey as the cycles run through my head
I’ve tasted it before
There’s nothing new
Only the need for consistency
Even though
Deep down
(and often consuming the surface)
I know its only temporary
And in this time
When I realize this journey is simply a shiny thread
That my monkey paws ache for
I chance a glance at the rest
The overbearing teeth
Grinning
Not at me
But through me to the West
Where the setting sun labors away
To smother me with darkness
And in that blanket of nothing
The ch[I]ld that I hate will look unto the holes in the sky
And pray for comfort
For understanding
Till I cull my thoughts and focus the tears back into my skull
Retreating to the dungeon and suffocating on the scenes inside
A maze of hyperboles sneering at me
Till at last my eyelids slide down
And I pass out of existence for a time
(if... my inner gratuitous masochist
doesn’t appear)
But I am here
And so is the prey
Ignorantly playing with my claws
As the dried blood underneath gleams murkily in its eyes
So innocent
So tragic
Lighting up with its noises
Smiling from a one way love as it tethers itself to me
Its almost a shame that it will be dying soon
Vomited out of another life
Thrown helplessly into a corner
Ransacked and blood laden
Sobbing till its eyes frenzy into a torrent of cruel despair
Fingering the wounds deeper until the lungs collapse
Rendering it still
Soundless
Loveless
Lifeless
As I shut the door behind me
And jostle my way back into the circus
Its almost a shame...
...almost

| Extremely emotional and descritptive poem here. That last line kind of numbs you to everything else, and it's just a great way to end it. Good stuff here |
