sunken graft

sockets puncture

a desperate measure

denying pleasure

folding structure

the pages are now cinder

light is growing thinner

cast the shadows out

crippling under doubt

dependency

eyes shifting

lay guilt

let it lay with someone else

for now

it isn't yours

telling yourself to believe

what you told the others

falling short

measures lacking worth

finding...

sequences we follow with care

the beatings ceased

leaving a still in the air

without the ends

within reach

compromised

the surface is growing weak

i miss the sense

the fragile cost

of innocence

the waters rushing in

it's sinking in

it's sinking in
