you wrapped your barbed wire arms around my chest and squeezed until I burst spoke up in class with a bombast aura that came off unrehearsed I followed you around, your stupid and uneasy minion absorbing your shadow and swallowing your battery acid complements that stung my nerves and ate some little holes here and there- wherever don’t cry over spilt milk you’re not to blame no one is to blame for this but me and my own ambivalence I turned my head for plenty of time, so I can’t hold you responsible for reaching into my pocket and dragging out some secrets that I’d hidden deep beneath my skin but I've moved on and since grown razorblades for teeth and a headful of sin GBE Written December 22nd, 2001 © on Dec 21 2001 05:35 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
