oh sweet life so lost in itself
where do i go for all of my answers
that posses questions wrapped in plastic
unforfiled and melting in the microwave
and when i defrosted my happiness
how was i to know that it would have
the same electric reaction as metal
this is not what i meant when i screamed to the empty sky
"please
ignite my life!"
i asked kindly
and when will the shakespearian inspiration
of roses and balconies
instill me
let voldemorts name be my love
if i shall cut off my own tongue
and may i find something beneath the carpet
out of which only pushes up dust
and causes my eyes to water
and paves the circles under my eyes
mascara
or exhaustion
sweet world tell me if i shall so rid these tallys
counting until the day my sentence expires
until then i will sit and watch
the ashes settling into my carpet
like snow falling in hell
