Drown Me

By Kiah

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Look back, shut your mouth and swallow. Crack the gut in you and follow. Your afraid I know its true. Your ashamed I know you. Your afraid of me, your plain to see. Slow parade, now drown me. Look back, shut your eyes and wallow. Crack the gut in you so hollow. Your afraid, so afraid. Your ashamed, so ashamed. I’m a slave for you to crave. I’m enflamed, so contained. Beautiful lovely beaten brains. Beautiful above in swinging chains. Glowing shade, you confound me. Showy malaise, now drown me.
