decay

so it happens. first things first. illuminate, rather than explain. a cup of tea, please. sans stories, please. don't process it for me.

i'm in my skin. true but not necessary. easy comfort. i know i know. easy to linger, hover, stay, and live. smells sweet, everyone admires. that old stale comfort.

the waning of the sting. a warning out of the foolhardy voice in the din of the feast. the unseen unfreshness, and a matter of time to decay.
