You stretch arguments along the lifelines of my patience Plant eager excuses on my collarbones of doubt Feed me watered-down wine of ever-pending promises That my trust-tangled stomach can never hold down Your touch singes holes in my dress of protection Burns through the layers of my shock-salted skin Your eyes tell a tale of belligerent disarmament My judgement messed up by your lopsided grin Your glance of missed chances pierces my instinct Sees right through the weakness of my fast-fading self My senses confused by the lure of your fragrance Susceptible bait for your trickery of scent My nails scratch your back for a grip of intention I stitch up your contour, unravelling my own Tearing up scars that I once thought well-covered Slowly you’re ******* the marrow from my bones Smiling you cushion the blows of your winged words But the humdrum still bruises my lured lazy limbs Your smoke-flavoured lips taste of death and destruction But still my parched mouth follows your every whim

The Miscreant
You stretch arguments along the lifelines of my patience Plant eager excuses on my collarbones of doubt Feed me watered-down wine of ever-pending promises That my trust-tangled stomach can never hold down Your touch singes holes in my dress of protection Burns through the layers of my shock-salted skin Your eyes tell a tale of belligerent disarmament My judgement messed up by your lopsided grin Your glance of missed chances pierces my instinct Sees right through the weakness of my fast-fading self My senses confused by the lure of your fragrance Susceptible bait for your trickery of scent My nails scratch your back for a grip of intention I stitch up your contour, unravelling my own Tearing up scars that I once thought well-covered Slowly you’re ******* the marrow from my bones Smiling you cushion the blows of your winged words But the humdrum still bruises my lured lazy limbs Your smoke-flavoured lips taste of death and destruction But still my parched mouth follows your every whim
