The Tormented Saxophone

posted in: Poems | 0

T: error reigns supreme in my ears

H: e truly is an enemy to me but to listeners 

E: mpathy blinds them when his voice speaks

T: ruth or dare every time he grabs the mic

O: nly the most honest know how daring it is to speak their truths

R: um and coke brings him out of his shell, alcohol must make this turtle feel safe 

M: ud eventually turns to dirt when dried up, his cheeks stays wet while the ink dries up

E: very time he writes he extends his life,

N: othing like words to distract you from your reality

T: he world of art distracts him from his world of suffering 

E: very time music stops him in his tracks for conversation 

D: og barks louder than the saxophone hiding in the instrumental follow 

S: ad to say 

A: nyways who the fuck cares 

X: rays show parts of his insides

O: nly the parts that can break and be put back together 

P: icture this 

H: e’s alone but pushes folks away like a road team 

O: nly sees it’s fitting his misery knows solitude

N: ever wanted any one to see him in this light but he’s the one who flipped the switch

E: very deserves happiness, I think he deserves his reality.
