It's all a joke in Poetry

Do you understand the joke
You know
The answer inside
The one that
Riddles your mind
As you play
The fiddle with time

I’ve become part of
The collective abyss
For the outside world
Is the contraceptive
Keeping ignorance bliss
Accepting the terms and conditions
Becoming slaves to what you missed

I’m shackled to
My body and soul
Bound to this prison
Tormented with loneliness
As my tears
Become the tattoos
That wrap my skin
And trap me from within

Everything began
With the betrayal of a kiss
As moments and time
Eat me alive
My thoughts become
The poison of my mind
Fashioning clay
To portray
Memories that bind
In the echo of space and time
