Hazard

on my chest lays a thousand bricks
all of various shapes and sizes
fitting together one by one
the weight almost a ton

I'm broken apart like a puzzle undone
strewn about all across the floor
you step on the parts and scatter them more
I wish I could be complete and more
than what I am to you

simple elation divine inspiration
emotion tactile and rough
I feel it rub against my flesh
my body yearns so deep for it

and on a bed of nails I wait
for the hands of time to deliver my fate
will I fail again? will it be too late?
I wonder if I can even fix my mistakes

and of course we fail as we always do
the machine breaks because of one missing screw
