Us

We tortured each other until there was no air left to breathe 
Our faces battered and bruised by the words we shouted
Hurling each other further down the steel pipe
Further into darkness
Unenlightening ourselves 
With each other's presence 
Forgetting you are me
And I am you
Disappointment filled our essence with the foul stench of rot
It's not dark enough yet
The emptiness
The misery
Self inflicted cries for help
As we began to resent each other
Time pulled us under the murky liquid of the swamp
We lay in the fecal matter of shame
Each thinking they did no wrong
No need for correction 
We can't even stand the sight of ourselves 

Because of who we allowed ourselves to be
