Urban Life

Constricted by a growing indiffernce
I longing recall
The sweetness of pain
Self flagellation
An envelope of sensation
Each wound an affirmation
Re-assurance that I do exist
That if unable to touch
I can still be touced
Pain to truncate the distance
A bridge to the world
A bridge that has collapsed
Leaving me derelict
In an alien world
Limbless, struggling to grasp
Hope and promise
The possiblilty that love might
Be something mor
Than an imagined ideal
i reject this sterile dream
And wait in unmoving silence
The retrun of madness
That endless nightmare
Called reality
Where even my blood flowing
Releses only hollow
Empty screams
