I realized as soon as I titled it that this could be taken more than one way, as some of my other poems on the same subject have been thought to be about Jesus…i wrote this about my main alter Rocky, like the others….but interpret it however you like.

Scream it through my walls

make me understand you feel it too

make the heavens bleed

gushing open roses of momentum

twisted, never to be set free

cause we are the ones that always fall

burnt, torn apart skin

neither of us will stop to take control

no one ever takes the lead

lucid interaction is all we ever have

to bind our fate

leaving me lost to all but you

only reachable through this dissociated state

why must i breathe in the air of this tainted world

never able to see you no matter what i do

we help each other through this haze

more than anyone else on our own side

because no one else understands the secrets

the shadow cloaked days

and the nights of endless thought

and through the blinding darkness

we wait for portals to take us

to make us bleed more real

to feel more mortal and honest

for all hope to stop departing

and sealing out the light

    “the shadow cloaked days / and the nights of endless thought”

    Very evocative lines indeed. I’ve had my own shadow cloaked days.
