a broken faucet
that you cannot shut-
curling around you
with repetitive drops
that echo
through your endless corridor;
the monotony of this world
will engulf you-
while silence enjoys the echo
that brings it flattery.

dry steel has withered the soul,
forged in the furnace of your heart;
melding
the set of doors shut,
through which you used to part.

the echo takes over - quietly

a long lab-lit room with endless exits;
where repetition
has burdened your life-
where options fade like joy,
as the drops puddle
into a sea of expectation;
you’re forced to swim-
coughing out thoughts as not to drown-
ignoring-
that beautiful key you worked so hard on,
as it jingles on your chain.

leaving seemed more controlable, in the mind;

find yourself reaching for the key
that opens the door to a room
whose personality
you should never have met.

slice through flesh and bone-
the prison in which you lie;
a gash in the open heart,
breaking-
beating- without red.

the hollow,
it oozes out,
and substance trickles into your unfeigned world-
prying your heart out
from their sweet and loving clasp;
if pain does teach - look for it, then-
i suppose
