Didn't you ever care to listen?

Sometimes at a loss for the lucidity missing,

Couldn't I breathe for a minute?

Instead lungs prohibit....

choke under water time conducts of varied limits –

How had I been convinced that loyalty was ever within your veins?

Repetition kept constant bounded eyes 'til driving all insane;

But.... you....

think only of what incites eager fruits?

Aware, I've remained of truth;

Exposure has a nasty bite,

lingering after-taste leaving mouth scorching dry –

Never is an uneasy excursion to grasp,

Heaving weight that plays uninhibitedly at pulsing gasps;

As alike countless past entities censoring my path....

I grew exhausted of masks.
