Cauterized
I haven't heard enough about you
To say you should change your thinking
The dark rooms I can see into
They drift past
The glass you use to numb quarreling emotions
You should learn to swim before you drown your pain
I can see your ribs now
Such a pretty pattern engraved on your tombstone
I can hear your heart wheezing
As the light drains out, and the pus follows
What does it mean to your "friends"?
The dust from your cracking hips is blinding me
And the bruises on your fading lips makes my teeth itch
Do you even go out into the sun anymore?
Are you afraid we'll enunciate our actions?
Are you afraid we'll see your mutilated limbs?
I can learn
I'm able enough to at least try
But it's hard to concentrate with your screaming in my ear
Are these lights too bright for you?
How can you see through the scabbing?
Just try to hold out for me
He'll be old, incapacitated soon enough
I can't differentiate scars on your face from freckles anymore
Maybe if you stop covering it all with sleeves and makeup
Someone will notice
Or do you want to stay?
I know I can't relate
But I understand most things
So who gets to wear that lovely face of yours today?
Once know is long gone
What was running through your head in that instant before the drugs were?
Surely it wasn't rainbows and polka-dots
You should really do something about that
Cause these are new shoes you're spilling your eyes on
A mandatory intermission
To ready the ribcracker
Implantingh new lungs to steady your breathing
I think that may be the best thing you've ever said
But I'm not holding up a goddamn shelter here
Get the fuck out
Back to your fading white house
Tattered blue drapes
And take your refuge in the dead, empty, black rooms
Have you ever felt angry at someone else's pain?
I almost pity you.
