Misato from Prescribed Burn by cuni

amber forest
bleeding out in black and white
leading me to
clarity.

can’t tell what’s
best for me.
compelled to drink the gasoline.
do i listen, or forfeit?
if i leave this, is it worth it?
i need a minute, try to breathe
before the smoke catches up to me.
repeating
the motions
until i lose your empathy.
until i lose your empathy.

don’t wanna stomp the match out,
but it might burn the trees down
and make it hard for you to breathe.
but isn’t this what i wanted?
or am i always haunted
by voices i prescribed when i was weak?
now i can see the tongues grow,
the leaves wither in its glow
for the sake of closure, i don’t know.
this isn’t what you wanted,
but if we’re being honest
it’s satisfying to see it decompose.
amber forest
bleeding out in black and white.
leading me to
clarity or a bandaged lie?
amber forest
bleeding out in black and white.
leading me to
clarity.
