Blindspots (dot dot dot)

 



every lighter i ever sparked
upon the winding back roads 
of this worlds black tar flesh;
while
vacantly
searching
for that fabled magic carpet getaway
ride
was sure to light right up.
all thanks to one night
one deviation from what i 
knew to be right.
that first light
shone so intoxicatingly bright
in that dark room
that i was instantly
unable to take flight and for atleast a lifetime
was unwilling to fight...
she showed me where and how and when
the heat from the fire would turn
alchemy and misery
into pleasure thanks to chemistry. 
shed look right through me
with such tired eyes 
but looked so true to me 
i knew
that sea of blue 
hid something new...
she taught me all i know bout choosing 
to look away while suffering silently 
taught me every trick in the book
bout covering up my tracks
all with Jones weighing heavy on my back;
its claws tuned in and turning 
slowly inching towards 
the inner. in-organic me
right through the organs 
i had once believed to be necessary
for life.

One Night
is all it takes sometimes.
One Night 
or day will take my life
as it will yours and your's as well.
One night was all it took and 
she gave in 
to live behind my mirror
always reminding me 
how its the blindspots-
not whats 
in em that kill.
