breathe

try not to think

hold that part of your soul fastened

mirror it with those burning eyes

pits of feeble desires

only desire

don’t let it take hold of you

break free of the binding

tear open the book

shred the pages

don’t think his name

the brain starts pounding

louder than gunshots

the sound struggles to escape now

and again we spin sideways

shut out the traffic

the screaming behind my head

pull him from your blind vision

erase the pain

and with it the pleasure

haven’t we bled for each other

enough

keep breathing

don’t open your eyes!

abstain from another day of sadness

we can run away

together you and i

there is only us:

body and mind
