ECAPSGODLEGNA

You were once
my escape.

You were once
the only smile
in my day.

You were once
my comfort.

I could not reach
to your shore.

I could only glimpse
into your cage.

I could only hope
that i was (am)
as important to you
as you were (are)
to me.

You are still
my escape.

You are still
a smile
in my day.

You are still
my comfort.

And maybe you
you can help me
to
break
free.

CRUMBLE

Still
aesthetically
superb
as you tumble.
As you question and quarrel
step forward and back,
open and close.

Did you want us to collide?

I want you to love.
I want it to flow through you.

There is so much
i need to say.

TEARER

I stare up
praying this white
will swallow me.

Take me now,
if you take me at all,
do it quick.

One sharp blow to the head
One bullet hole.
One silent struggle.

I don't want
to live in fear
anymore.

As selfish as it is.

THE RAPY

"There's something missing here.
I can't see any
direct reason
for your
great
sadness."

Yes, there is more to this story.
But how can i tell
some counsellor
if i can't even get the words
out
to you?

I need time.
So bad.

Just give me time.

APOLLO

My dear,
i'm sorry.
My words have always been
so mis-directed.
At the wrong times.
Always demanding support.

I seem
so..
plagued,
don't i?

My dear,
I'm sorry.
My heart hurts so much.
And there's so much
in my life
to share.

Warning: Patience required.

CHECK

On her death-bed.
He stands above her.

"I have always pondered-", she says,
"-a kiss?" he asks.
"A kiss. It's all i'll ever ask for."

Lips to lips
hands to hair
slow
sweet
calm.

"Is it what you expected?"

TRAP

She lies
on the bed of blue,
thrusting her legs apart,
trembling,
tears welling,
stifling a scream.

"Yeah, i did her."

She makes no sound
but
the breath escapes
and she knows
it's all over now.

"She was gagging for it!"

And she prays
that no-one
ever sees
the
blood-stained
sheets.
