Grievance Is Another Way Saying I Love You

searching for words
at the dinner
I displaced them
for a piece of silence
now
can't find them anymore
and I needed that silence

last night
it seemed like good idea
now
day is overly mute
announcing ireful billow

devil always says hello
before entering
he says hi and smiles at your face initiating
a war within us
a war within me

I'm lost in your world
you're lost in mine
someone misplaced traffic signs

muteness walked off the scene
and left us nude

in that broken image staring ahead 
completely damaged
it is I
unable to maintain that mirror as whole
is it I   
carrying burden of blame
line is deranged
stripped to the bones
no order at sight
just
rain of fallen parts from now
non existent being

sometimes It seems like 
God randomly ripped parts from other people
and glued it on to me
us
we
as natural talents for pronunciation of misleading tones
one to another
we are the echelon 

unveiling my bones
I'll send them as a loan

freedom is an ideal
that nobody wants to achieve
