amputated ambition
where did it all go?
washed down the drain
you were pulling hair from
a recognizable face
in the mirror
a ghost reaching
for my tonsils
when i close my eyes all i see is fire
its a likely reminder that i'm burning more than bridges
holding onto the ridges of a mountain -
this nightmare does not differ from the times my eyes are open
this dream i'll never achieve -
all this pain for what? nothing.
