C4 Amore from C4 AMORE by Stoneburner

Every day hand to mouth

Punch the button

Pull the lever

Incrementally closer

To my finger on the trigger

Constant state of collapse

Eternal state of decay

Enraptured I rupture

Planting bombs in the superstructure



Every day build a tower

Knock it down

Build another

Tenuously tied to each other

We’re not flying

It’s free fall

Chemically improved

One step removed

One heart attack

Between me

And the tarmac karma

The tarmac karma



I’m lighting fires

I’m burning bright

C4 Amore tonight



I’m divided

Undecided

Ripped apart and chided

Sliced down the middle

I’m scored and brittle

The living end of

Left for dead

I’m used up

Bruised up

Keep your broken glass jaw

Chin up

Buttercup

I’m torn down

Worn down

Waiting for the final round

I’m giving up I’m going down

I know I’m not flying it’s freefall

I move from one trauma

Right onto the next

I’m steppin’ razor

Daisy cutter pirouettes

To the tarmac karma

The tarmac karma



I’m lighting fires…
