Forty seven nights
Spent sleepless
Or wasted, shitfaceded
Stumbling I'm aimless
And fear
Stabs at my mind
Porcupine hides
And bee stings
Wasted passionate ambition
An ad for lost tenacity
Cruel fate
Just world
Full court
Swine and pearls
Six months
Of restless days
Assurance didn't ever run
It sat and washed away
And my hopes burn
like turpentine
In a fire-breather's lungs
Singed ****** hair
And scorch marks
On the surface of my tongue
Forty seven nights
And just as many days
Youth never tried to run
Just sat and washed away
Youthful love,
stupid love
Happy gluttony
Waste of time,
In my mind
Says hateful heartless me
