Mind Rape

bake me

By Rowan Finley Published 10 months ago 1 min read

take it all

drain my blood

wasn’t careful

so I fell in love with everyone

numb scum

I feel

my

flesh gone

take my breath too

dice up my body

but it’s not enough

fizzy mind pops

there’s really nothing left

oh but the tombstone

use it as a foot step

forget all the memories

my bones

can be sharpened

into needles

to help make blankets

which cover all the dead words

that flew in the air like stench

the hate heats

the oven

of the earth’s core

misery measures

time flips a bird

in it’s rotten nest

I hear guilt ask

“Can you volunteer on Sunday?”
