255 or A

You are all you’re looking for

you’re all you’re looking for.

but what’s so bad about
desertion?
oh I know the caramel sting
and the taste that
never seems to leave,
that clings to your tongue
like thorns.
but what’s so bad about desertion, A?

you’re not the monument
broken down they
say you are

and your friends come and
are gone
but I never heard your name
I never heard Ozymandias.

A, feel what’s yours
and hold your breath.
