Fall In Love Again (First Poem)

Bloody Fingers, Pointing victims Burning evidence… Jury duty’s Painted fury I want my innocence, Stinks of flesh And rotting pleasure Decomposing itself… Blame yourself, Then cut again Still you need no help… For better or for worse, I’m going to be the first to burn, And maybe then you’ll fall in love again, And I’ll laugh and say to myself: “you’ll never learn” Cradle lust In death we trust The rope’s about to break, Life so gray, Life’s so away, Until someone plugs in the lake… The badmouth watch The priests don’t talk, Because God is a mess… Just take your pill, Remaining still, So you don’t become obsessed… And I can’t believe I offered you my life, and you refused to die! And maybe then you’ll fall in love again, And I’ll laugh as I watch you cry…
