Hypocrisy

the fumes stalled within the bones

evergreen trees turn brown in dismay

the sea parts just to get away

and the sky shuts away the sun

if only it could kill them and leave me

instead, photosynthesis fuels my enemies

why is every breath a punctured lung

spilling blood on the whimpering ground

each blink a rusted nail in my spleen

time rolls through my flesh like gunshots

fucking feeding frenzied demons

I didn’t know I could be so desirable

in a world where everyone claims to hate

they hasten to criticize my lack of love
