Drowning On Dry Land.

Drowning On Dry Land.

A Poem by Chloe Madison Taylor.
"

I'm only poisoning this situation.

"

It's still raining

so send the sidewalk out to find me

fading faster than my jeans.

The bleeding asphalt never complains,

so I stay here. glazing over.

relentlessly wearing out your name.

 

Watching my ideas dance from my ears

and twirl with dust particles in front of blinding flood lights.

I cannot write, I have no time

for decent plot development.

 

I spent too much time

swimming on your living room floor

Drowning on dry land

Clinging to empty bottles of liqour.

 

Just admit we have nowhere to go.

 

Give me a little friction to slow me down

breathing out of habit and speaking out of turn

sleeping off headaches

letting my vision blur.

 

Illuminated by the same repeating chord

dragging my cliche inspiration through metaphors

don't blame the rainstorms.

This is my fault.

 

 

I am only poisoning this situation

too happy to hear the same old lament

I cannot write, I have no time

for decent plot development.

Author's Note

Chloe Madison Taylor.
I'm getting tired of posting things unfinished and bad... sounding? looking?
But I'm also too lazy to finish anything.

I deleted

Purposely losing my mind.

I'm only trying to distract myself

from anyone and anything

that has anything to do with this.

Just didn't fit. or sound cool. ha.

dude english honors, thats dope and f****n appropriate.

I dont know you real well, say you might be f****n bad a*s at numerous things, and this might be inconsequential but fuckit twice- just incase you dont believe zatoichi to your last f****n molecule let me back up the brotha and say to you :

you are a f*****g BAD A*S writer!

I always know you got my back when I come to read. I'm never disappointed.

Dont ever stop.
