Shadows burn in memory town

The darkness makes its way to fire

Something I can’t bare

to live in

Something I’m used to

by now

My veins have become it

And my tongues lash with careless poison throughout forgetful parts of day—but still poison

Poison I can’t control

Poison that makes sense

While skin crumbles

I’m punished by the savior who stole my sustenance and tried me for stealing food

He expects more from the boy who kissed his mom goodnight without her knowing it

He was stronger than, with a lighter brain

Since,

he thinks too much

And weighs his thoughts at the door

He’s taller too

But his eyes sag down his shoulders and collapse into his chest

It’s not so much a frown

Just that

The shadows now burn

In memory town
