Against The Wall

Joshua G. Henderson

Free verse
love is a punishment for something i couldve done, or undone.

if i only knew where to begin, i could finish me and go peacefully into that last good sleep.

if only in the eyes of a wayward masachist do i scream, then so be it. could i be blamed for what happened next? do i rot while waiting for the next sensitive feeling? how long can i bang my head against these concrete thoughts? do i have to suffer on in these silent screams?

why should i be the one to wake up one day waiting for forever?
