i.
There was once a mad man who sat on trains and wailed about his dead love.
No one laughed
but no one listened either.
ii.
See that freak right down the corridor, smiling and crying at the same time?
His eyes are voids and his hair the colour of his pain.
That's a man without skin.
iii.
Headlines: Drunk school girl murders seven classmates.
Could've been anyone.

ugly consumption
monday my little girl asked, "what would happen if someone ate
the sun and

Stand, girl, stand
Fight, girl, fight
This is the debt you're paying
The debt you'll never repay
So press your palm against the wound, girl
There's blood seeping between your fingers

Fight.
Because this is the debt you're paying
This is the debt you'll never r

she wanted to find meaning in the smell of rain
and the darkness of her room but
the only place she found truth was at the bottom
of the beer bottle and the space
between his hands and inside of her thighs.
she was bitter that it was only beer she could stomach -
it seemed she could not even be beautiful in the
destroyed lost sense of the word.
she couldn't get to sleep before
midnight and

The flow isn't jerky at all, this has a quiet but powerful tone. Beautiful.
