I stand on the periphery/
Thinking about my crass inability/
to see through my own stupidity/
not see through my immaturity/
Buffoonery/
Thinking about you brings pain to my biggest artery/
All the techniques in my artillery/
Could not bring you back to me/
See
Comradery/ is one thing, but pretending would be debauchery/
What happened to us? It’s a mystery/
I can’t work out whether periphery ends in a ‘Y’ or an ‘E’/
I contemplate this as my eyes take in/ the scenery/
My heart is breaking/ it requires surgery/
As my strongest muscle grows stationary/
I tip over the edge as my soul vacates me…/
as always i like your writing/ poetry. it makes me feel all the emotions you are feeling even though i hate the thought of death, it really saddens me. i odn't quite understand it tohugh but it's good x
ReplyDeleteThe periphery is a metaphor. It has two meanings. One is the edge of having a mental breakdown, and the other is the edge of a building before someone jumps. They think of every thing that has gone wrong in their lives up until that point...
ReplyDelete"my strongest muscle grows stationary" - Could refer to the heart stopping, or from the brain becoming resolute as the person either jumps over the edge (suicide), or the mind going into meltdown - breakdown
i really do need to work on my vocabulary... x
