A Poem by twig
"

this kind of just fell out of me.

"

continuing

traverse 

the sdrawckab 

forwards

kind of feeling

the drawback

and backstabs 

the "i just cheated on my significant other"

signifying the lying and other feelings of the sort.

this, just one more

deal

we're all fooling ourselves with

these scratchings i ignore

these code worded messages

massaging my temples

and bringing me to devil doors

this one kiss

two kiss

three kiss

weekly.

meeting the lips of bodies discretely

hidden from each other

the things that require no speaking, but everyone knows

the story unfolding of 

the parents scolding

a drunken piano player

hitting every ivory

with a heavy fist.

this innocent introduction

to a world of intimacy

that we don't share.

this never getting a full breath kind of feeling

wheezing

wondering what is happening to my body.

.ydob ym ot gnineppah si tahw gnirednow

this unhealthy immersion into the battlefield that is my life

all these this's bringing me to a realization

that this is how it is

plainly and truthfully

even i can't lie to myself anymore.
