I put a hole in my lip
For every hollow kiss
And a hole in my nose
For every wilted rose.

I fill my skin with ink,
Leaves less room for scars.
If only I gave a ****
About lungs full of tar.

Thirteen is a lucky number,
Right?
Or maybe its cursed.

Works in my favor either way really.
Thirteen round little pills,
Shaking in my palm.

Maybe I'll live?
Hopefully I won't.

Thirteen little pills lined up in a row.
Should I take them fast?
Or should I take them slow?

Do I really want this?

I want to sleep forever.

Sweet dream world...

You planted flowers in my lungs and
waited around until they were fully
blossomed before you picked them
one by one and wrapped them up
in a bouquet to give to someone else.
