recompense

i am a grande dame
i'll spin you stories of strength and perseverance
you'll look upon me with awe
and hope to reach my wisdom
i'm a chain of knowledge
every link is wrought from my tears
and struggles
it lends its strength and explains its weight
i'm a wall of sound
for everything bounces off of me
in a halo of haunts and taunts
and nothing absorbed and all is a shield
i'm a cave of sorrows
and i howl into myself
a tunnel of empty cold winds
rushing through my heart
wet with tears
a blubbering hot soaked feather pillow
a ball of spittle and pain
i wear it on the inside

what do i do

your face is smooth like the infinite sky
the storms have passed leaving a chill
yet i can't find serenity
if i could climb into your ear
like a cartoon of adventure
and touch the pink and grey and get it all over me
sticky and sweet i'm sure
maybe i can melt into it
and never worry again
i'd lay open armed in your inside flesh
and it would swallow me whole
and it would be warm and wet
and would cover my arms
and would envelope my chest
and the pressure would be comforting
and the air would not be necessary
and i wouldn't have to speak
and my mouth would never open again
and my nostrils would be filled
and my eyes would be sealed
and i wouldn't have to breathe
and i wouldn't have to be

this is my favorite time

in the before
i'm smaller than myself
the inner core is soft and wane
my outer layer breaks from the strain
shards and scars crisscross my face
if you talk to me i stretch
this is to comfort you
because my soul is old and knows better
but i droop
and shrivel up when you walk away
crunching softer with each step
and in your wake
my bounty becomes dust
