Cave Dwellers

We can do whatever we like
yell as much as we want to
and listen to
how
stupid-
crazy-
selfish-
we are.

You're a flawed individual
who wants to be the main spectacle.
I clap
and applause follows after
to make you feel special.

What goes around comes back around.
The only thing that talks to you is your echo.
and you can't help but like the sound.

Humanity didn't outcast us
We simply built walls
from an unbreakable bond.
As delicate as diamonds:
no matter how tough you are
the pretty ones are always taken first.

You object to the idea of being
or treating anyone like an object.
If so where are my human rights?!
You look right through me-
as if it was just the wind
as if you didn't hear a peep.

Oh,
right,
dolls don't speak.

Pucker up-
take the pill
from my porcelain mouth.
All anticipation goes south.
No,
it wasn't ecstasy.

Echoes vibrate all around us
now we're going through epilepsy.

Awaiting your fall
but you still stand tall.
I don't need you.
I can make echoes on my own
-listen-
hear the audience celebrate.
at how your pupils dilate.

Green orbs remind me of the poison
called jealousy
which you made me sip.
What are your last words?
...I'm still waiting...
Don't get all tight-lipped.
Expected you to curse-
instead you brush my freckles,
as if they're dirt
and suddenly the cave bursts into cackles...
