Shadow Savior
Shadow Savior
Written by, Luke Bloomquist  i am your shadow. shipwrecked soul, asphyxiated. a lack of water, while drowning deeper through the air. your candle lit aesthetics cast my shadow behind your back. i slither and drag behind you, cracking ribs, and smashing my face as i follow you, your every movement, like your very own shadow. you fuck with me, in a political way. plant my tears in soil, creating trees that you recycle, creating libraries of slavery. i am nothing but a shadow. a bohemian rhapsody plucking strings to the drum of heart beats, still mangling my skull as i drag behind you on a thin rope of flesh. morbid? not quite. i’ve made love to elohims, you’ve made a paycheck. i damned aztecs and got mother Mary pregnant while drunk off the pain of whip lashes and dry throats. you? you kill families. bomb mankind, because you think islam is inferior to the anglo-saxon america? hell nah kid, go back south. me? oh, i’ll be following. because I’m still just a shadow, and you’ll always be the inevitable savior. …damn this country |
wow... it's been a while since i was that passionate about anything... i like the pauses, and you planned the end of each stanza well, same topic, different aspect... not sure i completely follow tho, what did the 'drowning in the air' part mean in the beginning?
