Skipping hand in hand
When I lie in my bed
Taut muscles tighten impossibly
Hovering over rusty Needles
Ridged from exposure
To moist humidity,
Snide commentary, stolen kisses
And loving hostility
One wrong moment twisted
Beyond repair
By my weathered hands
I'll be speared through the heart
My escaping oxygen configures
Into string; lunging through the eyes
Of my red metal killers
Tying them all together
To make sure I can never pull myself
Into the blinking, breathing
Laughing, dying, overflowing
Worldly void of speechless snarling
Not that I don't attempt
The struggling every-so-often
Whenever torture takes my fancy
They were wrong
There is so (so) much harm in trying
If you have impaled yourself
Deep enough into the darkness
Tonight-though-I regretfully close my
Heedful eyelids
Skipping hand in hand
With yearning
Down into blissful nothing
Taut muscles tighten impossibly
Hovering over rusty Needles
Ridged from exposure
To moist humidity,
Snide commentary, stolen kisses
And loving hostility
One wrong moment twisted
Beyond repair
By my weathered hands
I'll be speared through the heart
My escaping oxygen configures
Into string; lunging through the eyes
Of my red metal killers
Tying them all together
To make sure I can never pull myself
Into the blinking, breathing
Laughing, dying, overflowing
Worldly void of speechless snarling
Not that I don't attempt
The struggling every-so-often
Whenever torture takes my fancy
They were wrong
There is so (so) much harm in trying
If you have impaled yourself
Deep enough into the darkness
Tonight-though-I regretfully close my
Heedful eyelids
Skipping hand in hand
With yearning
Down into blissful nothing
