I can smell cigarettes burnt into my stinking fingers and I run those fingers through my hair which isn't there anymore. It's white and brittle with the damage i've done. Im white and brittle with the damage i've done. All i want is to climb into the lake. Alone but not. With myself but not. How do i ruin everything i touch. Why am i like this. Im an energy vampire. I want want want. I take take take. You're mine mine mine. Ive been given so many gifts and i rip open the paper with my teeth and tear out the flesh of that gift and i make it nothing i make it seem like you're nothing. Im sick in the head. Im a fool and a hierophant and an empress and the devil. Im the devil. My grandmother stopped believing in god because i'm the devil. The cards i pull at are the fool. The queen of pentacles. I cant remember. Always the devil. Always the queen of swords. Never the tower. Never the tower.

The Fool
