messed up lately

burning today

fingers aching last night

popping knuckles

not so easy

feeling a bit uneasy

reeling backwards

popping neck bones

whiplash when I thought I saw you

collarbones calling

swinging to meet your gaze

saloon swinging

swooning then ringing

returning back to where I saw you

forgetting the misery

of bones popping

head hanging

feeling low

again burning

burning notes

meeting you

singing notes

screaming tones

bleeding never felt so good

never tasted so good

to live without food

what a mood

to sit and brood

teeth clenched

thoughts intrude

it's all for you

I bite my lips

chew off the skin

and bite again

bleeding never tasted so good

knowing we cannot be friends

we cannot

be

friends
