Chipping away at her sternum with a paring knife

breaking its seal cracking the cartilage

His slack jaw chomped through her lungs

on a realm converted by the most

perverse of gods.

"I am Man incarnate of all primal urges!"

Sleep a catalyst for the brilliance of the mind

Cradled by the cold vacant arms of the universe

Unfazed free of emotional trappings

A warmth borne from a succinctness in clarity

An unaltered certainty a numbing of mind and body

Nestled within a

Pretend to be brooding if the aforementioned is not possible.

Remove any shred of a sense of humor

Replace with apathetic reverence of man

And a pretentious belief of self-importance.

Find ways to drop oft forgotten synonyms into the lines

Why bother being straight forward?

he’s screaming on top of his lungs…

Yeah I’ve got some venom for that ass

I can taste it in my mouth as I hold my tongue

I can feel it bubbling under my skin

Becoming more potent with each passing moment
