Choke

I saw it slipping that night Aglow in Summer’s star light I believe for a second oh so brief You exposed the fire writhing beneath Swept up in a feeling floating on air We dropped the act, it was crystal clear Bathed in green light and dopamine We floated above the shadows pristine Beautifully broken fused with blood Stained distorted and covered in mud Cloaking the light within dim and recluse Worn it so long that it’s become your truth Cloak stripped bare a moment Years of isolation torture and torment I wish I knew sooner but still would stay Our time was up long before that day Power and pleasure wrapped bound Silenced voiceless blackness surround I’ll admit I got off on the hurtful display I don’t like to lose unable to walk away The distance a pathway to silent solace No longer my Sun no longer my prophet Trials of tragedy epic proportions Awakened Kali destroyed distortions We were mirrors always meant to shatter Karmic contracts completed thereafter Clarity revealed the protégé’s disguise Rose colored glasses smashed to the side Thanks for the memories oh so sweet May you choke on your words forever, peace ☮️ ✌️
