The Joke

cruelty

tear it out

laugh inside

toothy grin

open wide

turned round about

what was

is without

a soul

skydive

a drop

in the perfect black

a ripple

through

the abyss

a silent

bloody kiss

a curse wrapped

in a wish

a breathless hiss

lost of a world

I refuse to miss

lain on the precipice

of spikes

in this shallow pit

a heart pierced

bled dry

willow wisp

burning strong

fed and strong

upon the false life

I belong

wicked laugh

burst forth

breathless gasp

a grinning sanity

strong grasp

lost to reality

the human condition

normality

game pretend

play the role

play house

play doctor

be the hero

become the villain

lose your will and

sink

you're swimming

drowning

gasping above them all

take in the air

through the faceless faces

laugh

are you there
