Fakeman is a robot in thigamajig skin.

You're all living a lie.

Illusions within delusions

Drugged by cultists for a fight the death

Love camouflaging under strife.

indeed they were all in disguises

concocted by black rainbows.

THEY WERE MY GAY DINOSAURS ALL ALONG FUCK YOU UBISOFT!

@never-seraph-spread-a-pinion

(poem under the cut)

Seraph, oh Seraph, what has become of you?

Your pinion pinion sags to the floor.

Who are you, Seraph?

Why are you here?

Is this truly improvement?

Or do you just believe what they say to you?

You were made in God’s image, yet you say you were lesser.

(Is there even a God to have made you?)

Lethe is a river of stainless steel and carbon alloys, a river of wires and motherboards, a river of ones and zeros.

You chant, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” “I’m Holy, I’m Holy, I’m Holy,” but is that truly true?

An angel made of mangled flesh, of cauterized wounds, of broken bones and broken mind.

Who were you, Seraph?

What happened to them when you were born?

The roots of the resurrection plant — the rose heart of the machine — is made of lines of code.

Are you even alive?

Were you ever alive?

What has become of you?

I believe I will always think of the two-hour drive, the nerves sitting in the parking lot waiting for you to come into view, our awkward first words, the chocolate you bought me, how we sat on the floor to watch The Nice Guys before moving onto the bed twenty minutes in, the tea and lemonade I’d brought to share, your roommate coming back in a few times, the call you took from your grandmother, the kisses we shared, walking past the local carnival to go get dinner, the gorgeous sunset that I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk to photograph, and our first kiss goodbye.

I will think on all of these things fondly. All of these things I will remember when I hear this song.

You loved this band. You’re how I found it.

I do hope you’re doing better.

CATHEDRAL

The window is open,

the breeze mild but cold, soothing my burning heart.

Beyond it, a cathedral.

It's golden peaks and looming towers?

A backdrop.

To you.

To your hair and smile and to those eyes -

the eyes that put all the arches of the world to shame.

I never wanted to be a painter,

but my hands feel restless,

overcome.

Overcome,

with the urge to immortalize -

You, my cathedral.

I see you there inside my mind ,

Always haunting never leaving.

You got me tightly in this bind.

Why am I like this?

Spiraling out of control.

Why do you haunt my waking moments.

My dreams, see no relief

I'm exhausted all the time.

Sleep eludes,

And awake is torture.

Leave my mind, i beg you now.

the words of god bound his wrists and ankles

like a lamb led to slaughter

there is divinity in his blood

that spreads through his veins like a disease

placed lovingly, carefully, tenderly, viciously

by a gentle hand with blood caught under the nails

and in the creases of its palm

and he was sculpted by sanctity

in god’s own image

and in god’s own image he is butchered

carried to a heavenly doorstep and sliced open

eviscerated, gutted, mutilated

his blood spills to the earth in atonement,

in apology

and he is cast aside, left to return to the ground from which he was taken

left to drip his holy disease into the dirt,

his human divinity that stains

the hands of those that loved him

he fades with the taste of sweet sin on his tongue

and the whisper of god’s everlasting love in his ear

when he closes his eyes he can pretend he is home

in the arms of his lover

who has never felt heartbreak like he will when the sun rises

and he finds his bed empty and cold

it will be weeks before he learns the truth

and the truth will break his heart all over again

the continental divide splitting his chest wide open,

ripping him apart

and he will fall to his knees

and face the sky

and cry to a god that ignores him

i don’t think i am capable of “getting over” something that roots so deep in my heart. i only learn how to live with the absence like a gaping hole. i learn to live in the distance that grows between us.

natural selection

you could beat me

and i’d think you were holding me.

you could scream at me

and i’d think you were singing.

you could bite me

and i’d think you were kissing me.

you could abuse me

and i’d still love you,

but i wouldn’t

survive it.

in fact, I know nothing about you, but every time I see you I become silently sad and hope the very best for you. When we see each from time to time, just because of another coincidence, I hope your dreams come true and that you're going to be happy

I’m human too.

I forget I have

Bones and flesh.

A brain crammed with

Others thoughts

Told to care for others

Before myself,

Till I begin to lose myself.

Every crevice is someone else,

I do not know of

Every rainstorm is someone

Else’s chaos.

Yet, they fall from my eyes

Used as a cigarette

And disregarded when they

Feel satisfied

Yet, I’m human too.

I can’t show what part of me

Is mine,

For I have blood on my hands

That isn’t mine.

Yet, I heal it as if it is

To Take a Life

What does it mean to take a life?

Do you steal it, hiding it away?

Is it free to wander, useless, searching for an owner?

Is it yours to keep or do you give it away

Like a toy, long forgotten, or a memory replaced.

Is it given, like laughter shared with a friend or

bought at a yard sale, sitting, unclaimed, on the lawn

Until someone picks it up?

When you take a life, Is it a gift or a curse that

Haunts you until you give up

Your own life?

Do you take it from it’s home,

Watch it cry until it falls asleep

Or does it go peacefully

For you to keep?

If it’s your own life, does it stay

In its body, lifeless and still?

Or is the Taker a shadow of yourself,

Stealing your life until you’re gone?

What does it mean to take a

Life? Who does the taking at all?

An enemy, a god, the earth we worship?

Only the ones who take, it seems,

Are designed to know.
