Velvet Drops

A buzzing cacophony A paroxysm of colors An unending well A fly zooming about in circles Thoughts swarmed by twirls and whirls Still my mouth yearns another A velvet drop to soothe No one left to bother Stole another bottle Still my mouth yearns another Running these tips across my shoulder Sending shivers of excitement Tilt the point down the flesh Tear and let it run amok I shriek not in horror As I drown in all the flavor Yet something is chasing me Something I don't understand As I gulped once again It comes crashing at my head Something sharp is tearing me Hurry and fix me Pass me the sew As I ran the needle all the cotton won't hold A broken teddy bear is left hanging As I am thrown away I've come to think again I shouldn't wish for much I shouldn't have done that I should've known better Heh, what does anyone know? I only wanted to be whole
