Explode, Explode, Explode
A Twisted Verse by Matthew Tonks
Exploded thoughts that shake the failing mind,
safety not counted in the world’s design.
Words lose their meaning by the load they show,
fractured visions rise where cigarettes glow.
Whiskey blesses every fading breath,
living each day in the slow drift toward death.
Nothing gained and nothing left to cost,
grey eyes sinking deeper into loss.
Rings round the iris where the children dance,
captivity closing in with no more chance.
Close your deaf eyes, cover your blind ears,
explode, explode, explode through all your fears.
💬 Did this one echo?
Tell me—before it forgets your name.
