Eyeliner


another day is born with its evil twin, guilt
you can't have it any other way
he won't let you

wrap yourself tight in the blanket of lies
pull it close
it has kept them bound for centuries
and dug into their skin

this is your crippled shell,
swarming with disease
too weak to get up off of its knees

I smell decay when you speak his name
his touch shoots atrophy through your veins
his kiss is death and not one has lived to tell

all images black, all systems failed
