Broken Veins

The sun falls like a rock slide go ahead and let it die I have no use for an entity that mocks me I have no use for sunshine for rain clouds are my true desire Thunder for comfort, lightening for rage yet I'm denied both as the rain imitates my tears smearing the pavement as I smear the makeup upon my face Why bother to keep this appearance if I exist as none a nobody Why bother to keep this appearance if I revel in its majestic royalty solo except for the ridicule from unknowns My indifference refuses to care but I dare to feel I dare to sit in the pouring rain razor in hand cut the veins that fade to change my blood from red to black to match the pigment of my heart My indifference says to stitch the wounds but I dare to feel dead and that's where I leave it
