backlogged guilt

Nov 10, 2002 01:33

fangs gnaw
shredding callus
hearts loving what
cannot be with
morning-after clothes
and night-before regrets
spill over bedsheets
kick off dust from
useless wishes
useful wrappers
renew confidence that
the world is shit
and
love is a fairytale

it's so much easier to play pretend
to dress up
make puppets
to mimick and imitate and tease
to say what cannot be said and roll it around in the stomach
to let it boil
icy teeth and hellish eyes shine coal black and
to hear the words "don't go."
but the curtain falls
and we can all walk away from that

i liked this one of yours. this piece of shit i just thought of, so tell me what you think.
