Analysis of Jugular



Sleep evades me cruelly,
Once a man now a wreck
Heartless to the cold bearing,
And guiltiness wrought your neck.

I hate your stupid make-up,
I hate that you used to care,
I hate that you blame me always,
I hate this day’s despair.

I love watching you fade,
Thinking of rogues past,
I love the way you die inside,
And leaving your driveway fast.

Tommorrow will hurt more,
Fallout of a nuisance shit,
Dying means so little,
Until you see it fit.

You’re the killer and you don’t even know,
And worst of all your boot is on my neck.

Freedom with my love and sleep…
Evade me.

Akira Dawn

I just thought it would be interesting to get a little feedback on what I write. It is often quite abstract and truly not great (this is not my self-deprecation shining through), but I would really love to improve.I am inspired by the works of Mark Twain in particular, he is amongst the wisest men ever to have lived. more…
