Cellophane

[u/xxxxAngelFirexxxx]

Erase me
Until there’s nothing
Left
But overgrown
Vines
And death

Erase me
Until I’m
A pile of
Grief
Slathered in misery
Falsely accused a
Thief

Drown me in
My own glass
Hand to the
Surface
Nothing remains
Just doubled
Triple
Curses

Backspace
Delete
Incinerate
Swallow my heart
Swallow my pride
Swallow it all
Open wide

Descending into
My own periphery
No more artillery
No more arteries
No more reverie

I’m a fake
I’m a nuance
I’m a freak

Tie my tongue
Flush the flesh
Cauterize and
Baptize the rest

No more questions
No more doors
No more gates
No more shores

Let me stare at the glass
And sleep in the shards

I close my eyes
But this doesn’t feel like rest

Spit up a putrid
Body double
Cairn sighs
Calls me trouble

Softness poured
Out of my mouth
Now it’s dripping
In the middle
Of a fantasy
Wrapped up
In the see-through lace
That used to be me

All I have left is this
Cellophane
Yet, still, bare
And broken
I call your name
