... tossed

tossed and turned upside down so that my hair falls up to the ground below me and it makes me wonder if flying can make me as dizzy as you do.

slept

I blinked an eye and slept a second that turned into minutes and hours and years and decades. I woke up only to notice that I had blinked my life away and death was one last blink away.

... sweat

i wanted to sweat out all of it. just push a little harder, rock your hips a little faster and make sure you keep everything tight. control your breathing and listen to your heart beat and if you wait patiently you'll feel his quicken to match yours.

pay

bring the pay or bring the pain and what I say turns to rain as the new day is more of the same

local

locate the pebble-sized grain of soul. that's all you have that tiny little soul. lose it and screwed, any bid for cosmic immortality forfeit.

... local

this pain is a local one... small and comforting; it feels like home. i hope to keep it caged. to keep it in this one aching heart. for if it spreads i fear for the world.

fuel

feed me. fuel. I need to feed. I need to feed on food for fuel. fuel that feeds me.

sneaking

tiptoe sneaking from one room to the next. each step hovering timidly above the hardwood floor, asking permission and pleading not to creak too loudly.

worth

worth... subjective. it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. what about me as a human? can I put a $ amount on me. what am I willing to pay for myself?
