The one about Falling

Posted on September 21, 2018January 18, 2019 by Torrey

Iridescent sparks

and brass knuckles.

penny-pinchers 

with broken teeth.


Are you still breaking hearts and eyes

with your gauntlet-laden hand,

You of the endless mystery.

You are one too many and always so much and

I can’t get enough.

Rearranging sentences,

knowing you will probably

get what I mean.

Not being afraid to talk about all the things

that keep me up and afraid.


You know I’m sorry,

and only mean the best.

I should listen more,

and think less.

I can’t stand rhyming like this and 

I don’t get why people do.

All the words work out,

but my real meaning is lost-

just not true


I sunk into you

and found my own

rotten core.

That warm place,

I thought was

safe,

turned into a

sort of hell.

9 layers

too deep,

find my place

in just 3.

Count my selves again

see which face I need be.

Which voice do I respond with?
