The breakdown of a fortress.
it comes down slow.
the wall I put up
was bull dozed by
illusions of the past
Trembling hands
I dialed
phone buzzed
buzzed
buzzed
then went to voicemail
I sat
hands shaking
I murdered self respect
giving into
up ahead
dead ends.
I sinned once more

up to my head.
Phone buzzed
buzzed

I turned on Miles making smiles
still had the sick feeling.
I turned on porn
jacked off
still had the sick feeling.
I fell asleep
with trembling hands
and a fortress under construction
bound to break down again
