every lighter i ever sparked
upon the winding back roads
of this worlds black tar flesh;
while
vacantly
searching
for that fabled magic carpet getaway
ride
was sure to light right up.
all thanks to one night
one deviation from what i
knew to be right.
that first light
shone so intoxicatingly bright
in that dark room
that i was instantly
unable to take flight and for atleast a lifetime
was unwilling to fight...
she showed me where and how and when
the heat from the fire would turn
alchemy and misery
into pleasure thanks to chemistry.
shed look right through me
with such tired eyes
but looked so true to me
i knew
that sea of blue
hid something new...
she taught me all i know bout choosing
to look away while suffering silently
taught me every trick in the book
bout covering up my tracks
all with Jones weighing heavy on my back;
its claws tuned in and turning
slowly inching towards
the inner. in-organic me
right through the organs
i had once believed to be necessary
for life.
One Night
is all it takes sometimes.
One Night
or day will take my life
as it will yours and your's as well.
One night was all it took and
she gave in
to live behind my mirror
always reminding me
how its the blindspots-
not whats
in em that kill.
