It eats at you
these things we claim are safe, buckle under
And we sweep the truth under a brand new carpet
She carries toxic blood
She writes these things down to find the purpose of
her life-long fascade
The sun casts a spell
We bake until we die
I was never misinformed about the world
I merely misinterpreted
The window that I saw you through was smudged
It was smeared from dirty hands and wet mouths
I pressed mine against the glass
and felt as if I had been here before
The smell of caffeine burned my face
I cringed and wondered why people live so unnaturally
It takes a pill, a drink, or a drag just to
get by these days
I join the cliche
It's easier to fall apart when you have something tangible
to blame it on
Or maybe the lack thereof
And you'll have to forgive me, my hunger has been sheltered
The door to the cage has never been opened
this cannot surface if it can't get out
She runs to his arms, as if they are soft..or warm
A lie thrusted from her tongue
bleeding as it is spoken
I can smell it
She wants out
Your teeth are ripping out the mystery
I am dripping through the cracks in the floor
And you could write you words on my scars
I wouldnt mind at all
I wouldnt mind at all
Visited this one years ago,
Visited this one years ago, and it is just as moving, just as vital, as on the first read.

I really admire your use of metaphor.
