House of Resentment

Dust covered red velour
Content enough to die in this room
Wallpaper - the ruby wilts to nothing
What has been said inside of here?
Divan soaked in granules of gray hair, mold and hatred
Glass breaks, as life leaves us
We'll pass on our fears through the floorboards

The lights in here all dance to misery
Silhouettes made of nails
Aroma of collecting dirt and old sachet bottles
Taxidermic - the house of resentment

The vacuum of hate, a dull aching anger
It's bound to this place, and to its possessors

Broken artificial light
Is sown to the floor
Beaded and black mold clusters
Tepid water unable to drain

As they suspend and hang - dripping, old gray rain

GOD DID NOT BREATHE ON THIS

An unending tear-down deconstruction of who you are
Unforgiving - the house of resentment
