Bit by Bit
Bit by bit it consumes me.
I want to lose myself so badly,
want to set it off,
lay back,
enjoy the whirl of emotions.
Night by night I fall into pieces.
I want to cleanse myself right now,
want to rid myself of it,
lay me down,
and cry .
Hour by hour darkness sets in.
I want it to take me,
take the edge off,
and wither away.
Smoke by smoke the fog gets thicker.
I want to get some air,
breathe in,
and never out.
Drink by drink I want it more.
I want to be fucked,
but I know,
I remain unloved.
Client by client it grabs me tighter.
I want to sate the monster,
or just die,
and never have to do this work again.
Fuck by fuck I do die a little more.
I want to be loved,
but the sex,
it just lies to me.
and I remain on the street corner.
are all of these poems original works?
