Ivy tears

Ophanim

Free verse
My eyes are dry
Even my tears won't lubricate
I am so angry you make me
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
THE SAME MISTAKE SCREAM WITH ME

So sublime
So beaten in
So tired

My jaw was so straight
Functional pain manipulations
Weak without prey why must i
REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT REPEAT
SO MUCH I CANT THINK WHY CANT I

breathe
For no reason at all we breathe
Our ribcages in silent union

Sublime
Resigned
Tired
