Gold

Or pink – wouldn’t you think they both could shrink
My skull, steal it and kiss my dreams goodbye..?
Black and tearful – tears are full
And thick and peaceful. Happy Halloween?
Trick or treat --- wrist stitched --- I wished for it.
Red water – I would rather die before I care about you.

Do I want blood in my eye – do I
Want the needle and the right way to die?
I swear on my life. I promise. I hope this gets to
The end of the rainbow like it used to…
My Father has no voice but
The Father of Lies screams – Lucifer, Lucifer – tell me please –
How do I fall, like you? How do I become free?
How do I rot like the stars you make bleed?

I am numb. Not comfortable, like you – but painful –
I wish for pain, death, blood. I wish for
Genocide, suicide, the other side. I wish for hate, pain, mistakes.
I want restraint. I want the skull-fuck. I want the rain.
I want the mint-sting to my eyes. I want my medication and
the paper-cup-full of lies. I want the sky to die
And turn black. I want to become ashes. I want to go back to that.


Whisper to me – tell me I’m sick – so lonely – so full –
So thick of it. I am a paper-clip, collecting and holding it all in.
I am bottling it up. I am fizzy coke  - about to pop.
Tears in your eyes make me want to
Turn them to gold. Worry like a sunset…
Nothing like the
View from a heart that is old.
Apparently
If I have everything - but not love - I am nothing.
I have gold and a story that has been written and told.

But I am still nothing but blood that is cold.
