    the sponge.

    it all bleeds out.
    like a sponge, a holding space for water.
    empty water.
    it's essential, but plain.
    i hate it.
    i'm full of it.
    full of shit, like millions before me.
    and the bacteria grow, and i feel sick.
    just puke it out.
    bleed it out.
    i want to cut it all out
    with a stab to the chest.
    i want my ribcage to fall out
    and my heart to be exposed
    to an electric blue razor.
    your eyes, that is.
    fuck that.
    i'm just lying on the floor, remembering
    falling through my mind.
    holes can't catch me.
    i've been microwaved, like the sponge i am.
    absorbing only to be squeezed out.
    hosting only to kill what's inside.
    it all drips out, slowly
    your memory's fading, quickly
    it all bleeds out across the pages.

    i absolutely love this. so much passion and power. i can see the mutilation in my mind.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
