Howard Hughes and The Antimatter Dry Clean

A Poem by Cahjli Symes

Day one of the bullshit
We spent the last months
trying to split

This atomic bomb
This atom, these molecular fuses wont quit

Day and night I try and find
the fragments in which
you left of your unconcerned thoughts

Being blamed for only wanting lust
yet your the one I trust

Why do I care to be revered
by a ghost on a cell
you make me feel like hell

The mind donating thoughts
of secular exploration

As I was claimed by mechanics
As you spent your time with chemics

The structures of this non polar
"bond"

I think upon the dark nights spent
being left on the side of the rode

I was told
as i saw

Your bloody demise of a soldier
in disguise

A liar
A cheater

Yet she lays down towards defeat
of an unhonorable soldier

You took my time

You took my mind

Oh mechanical bride,
you and I wont dine together
in happiness

As you lied within the veil
of a soldiers tale

The atomic subparticals
burn through my skin
deep within

As my lungs turns to dust
from the mustard gas you call
sin

Deep within the healing wounds
of broken thoughts

A medal of honor
for broken hearts

You ask why,
As I prophesize
your thoughts are untrue

Oh you
A beautiful mistake

To love not to hate

To die within the honor
The horror

Of seeing you.

The bomb drops
as my gas mask breaks

The glass goes in my eyes
As your blind
to the fact of your own awareness

Shoot me up

Drown me out

Eat my heart

A dead man walking
With a bullet in my head

The mutants pick there teeth
thinking he's weak

But deep down inside
Between you and I

Do or die
As my wounds begin
to heal

You throw salt in my eyes

To think of the times
we spent all night

Wishing we'll be together in time.

Taylor.
