swells

creep through the cracks
i like to linger in shadows now
darting my eyes without disturbance
sometimes I know I see too much


winter unveils impatience
the skin burrows too much truth
thick callouses heal over hearts
only to hibernate through the swells

8.26

i didn't come for a reality show
so abort the trivial lines
time uncovered many truths..
most of yours were lies


and i hate to make you the catalyst
but you never were much of a socialist
darting words like massacres
that held onto tears dismissed.
