this searing hot serrated edge
it breaks and splits my skin
gifting you with my gratitude
each and every secret stored within
gradually this gravity grabs at me
holding on to almosts and has-beens
there is method to this madness
the main event will soon begin
you're vicious, violent and vile
egress all that agression
in an orderly, single file line
these scars go oh so far
twisting serprents around vines
and you're sexy when you scowl
but I sour when you're sweet
a delicious little candy
all tricks and no treat
i love you more when i think ill lose you
when im damaged by defeat
you garnish, then deliver
this varnished heart and liver
with its presentation perfect
my kidneys make it worth it
while they filter out this filth
your lips tremble and quiver
like we're balancing on crooked stilts
and you're crying lakes and rivers
round this broken home we built
remember, always tip your bartender
they make less than minimum wage
if you want the big bright spotlight
you could always get on stage
and try your hand at theater
since you never act your age
an isosceles socrates
with pronouns so profound
him and her and she says please
these nouns lost and never found
