I hear nothing but black and flickers of dimed candles Shadows and I waltz For they do not judge me Of course my demons’ How did I become this deranged Nothing but black This bed-linen now A blushing civil war It tickles me pink Or maybe it Helps me recognize That my crazy is ******* gorgeous Yet sickening Are you happy? Sun up till sun down It’s cold now, and so am I I see you every where In every thing In every one In the tiny wrinkles that rest upon my Antarctic like hands The car that cut me off this morning The lumps stuck in my throat when someone asks how you are The chilly 5 minute walk to my vehicle on the hill In the empty space that haunts me every night when I close my eyes It’s cold, but so are you Am I that easy to escape ones memory?
