Depths

I’ve been pushing desperately against this surcease
And the subjugation of my will
Shrieks so slowly, torturing still
I’ve been stumbling in the labyrinth
Behind the staircase
Squeezing at my shins
Tearing at my knees
With a blazing fervor
These steps of regret
I hesitate to hang
I levitate in the rain
Then drown in the drain
Run through
Stabbed
Gouged
By the past I allowed
Now I’m pulling pitifully
On corrosive cylinders
On explosive pills for the cur
Let me
Let them be my release
Only following what
Will bring peace
