Heart Sewage - Harmatophile
(Heart sewage)
HARMATOPHILE
If I could I would
Turn off this love faucet
It has begun to back up again.
Flooded the basement
Filled with mud
Devotion, emotion and dust.
All this broken plumbing
A chemical eroding trust
Our constant numbing in procrastination
A cracking foundation
A sump pump drains
The rain is coming
She is my wicked something
A crystalline motivation
Sewage clog inside shame
Stuck in self-deceit
Eighty proof liquid snake
A headline defeat
In a game that is fake.
A name we remain afraid to speak.
Make it better
Ms. Hopelessly piqued
Blame away all broken plumbing
An eternal pain throe
A deviant freak.
