Space Cadet

These treads of death, trends of aerial creatures.

'Twas a drama queen miscalculated affair.

She thought to herself, she wouldn't make it

To her planet.

Her eyes twitched. Her smile frowned.

She ditched her stilettos inside a hole

Floating on her bourbon, not drunk,

She hadn't seen the sun.

'Twas an alien Joan of Arc impersonating

a gymnast trying to drown

within purple clouds.

 

These lives of velvet, made so sweet.

I'm 'bout to pull out my rotten teeth,

And feed the devil, underneath me.

 

His skin so white

It glowed beyond your regular -

Transparent ice blue.

It made her shiver

Beyond his coat,

Faux-fur – smelt of blood,

So disgustingly dark.

 

 

 

He was my devil, made from snow – so pure.

He melted at my feet,

I hadn't shed a tear.

My white devil's inside me.

He found his way.

He is wrapped around my Intestines

So hard. He's left his cigarette

butts,

on my liver.

But it didn't hurt,

To burn

Like they said it would.

 

 

I loved my devil, made from snow.

These brown angels, stealing his lines.

These brown angels, how could they.

These brown angels, sold their wings.

For three ugly wigs.

He told me once, beaming in the dark

With several fish lying around dying: "Angels

Will never be brown."
