Expired

Sunny smile, beanie baby 
Drunk and fuzzy, oh so gone 
Binge on uppers, feeling hazy
Won’t even answer your phone 

When you take them you feel better
Like a bird or star, so free
If we cut open your center 
There’ll be jewels for eyes to see 

Milk turned sour, by the hour 
Numbers stamped into your skin
Bloom and whither like a flower 
Limbs in needles and in pins 
 
Sucking on it like a candy 
It stopped feeling like it’s fun 
Some cheap , nothing too fancy 
Makes all of your fingers numb 

Choke a girl out, what a cop out 
Cops on your ass, flying heels
Crawl back to him, ask for bailout
You don’t practice your ideals

You were youthful when you knew me
In our house you were the child 
Now your body’s all mildewy
Didn’t know you’d go expired

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
