Unsaturated Story

Ink dripping off the page like a blackened sunrise
My mind swimming through a literary stream
With every drip, I am drowning in dictionaries
I'm trying and failing to stay afloat

I try to remember what put me here
I try to remember the words to our life
But all that comes back is the screams of my pain

And I see you again, see your withering face
Your every tear stains my black Wall Street brain
Poetic devices turned torture machines

So I'm slipping away, sinking head-first into the stream...

No.

I'm climbing aboard
The captain? It's me.
I can take back control of the words in the book
You no longer choose the chapters

I'm writing my fairy tail ending-
I'll be the boat, and you can be the weeds
