Bitter sweet remnants of my adolescence
Make blue lumpy goo in the corners of my mouth
Purple teeth surrounded by a blood red smile
Candy never lied to me
Sticky wet rich peachy blocks of sunshine and sliding board joyfulness
Perhaps the only truth that ever graced these lips were chocolate covered
And I burped them all out
Cradling an aching stomach before supper time
Too much sweetness rots your teeth and comes out in streams of painful brown spit
The truth is always more destructive coming out then going in
These plastic wrapped morsels can **** you
So, as teary eyed children, with our tails wagging lowly in between our knees
We leave the candy shop

Tick...tock...tick...tock
Am I afraid
Of course I am
Back and forth
The pendulum swings both ways
Expertly filleting the youth from my flesh
Shredding my lightbrowns
And replacing it with a nice
Even spread of pepper
While gently etching creases
Into my face
Timeously chopping into my bones
As the belly fat weighs me down
Then suddenly hitting the back
So picking up the heavy's a big no.no
And finally slicing into the mind
Where confusion strikes
And the car keys is missing....again
Sorry have to go now
My next birthday party's comming up

I poured down my hands
And let them run down my sides
In a puddle of my own arms
I became a sail boat

An imaginary friend
A deserter who leaves your mind
Veiled under a shroud of deception
A cunning persuasive demeanor
Who offers you tangible elusions
Of unattainable assets
A degradation of humanity
Spitting out profanity as if desired
Relentless in its persuet to addict
Subtly tightening the noose around its victims neck
Leaving hollowed eyes behind who unwittingly
Follow on until completely blind

Subtle gestures
Sent waves through the air
And brought forth a new education of what silence could do
You stood still
And let your shadow dance around you

I liked us better
When we didn't speak
When our hate was silent
And I could hate in peace
Now words sprout from your lips
Like mold and dicease
Call it my fault for asking
How have you been?

You must've finally broken
when after all these years,
you just sit down and wait
for the tears to come when
even your body is done
squeezing your heart dry
