broken

 tiny pieces 

start to peel and chip

and 

break away

I didn’t even notice

 

or

 

did I

pretend

not 

to 

know

it was all falling apart

 

useless in every way

but memory

and I cling to it

with heart and soul

afraid to bury and forget

like

a 

child

to a grave

 

to hold on is to

crawl in

with you

huddled and preserved

sleeping forever with the 

delusion of virtue

and 

our 

beautiful corpse

 

my mind’s

smile of  an aberration

laid gently on a satin pillow

in earth’s dirt womb

 

there

 

you will be

released

 

and I

am  

 

broken

 

and 

alone

we hold on, don't we...even way past the time it is long overdue. i take this piece to be about a relationship falling apart and dying. it is said that a relationship is like a shark. it has to keep moving or it dies (woody allen?)

oh but in my book of dangerous sports, apparently for up to 20minutes after it has been pulled from the water a shark will snap at who ever passes by.

for spoken word, most definately. this would be a nice piece to hear.

Each paragraph has a different thought. Each line refers back to the previous line. Just grammar mistakes otherwise good.
