Astringent

By Neurosine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The astringent didn't completely keep me from licking the wound, I think it may go deeper. The contingencies I took didn't quite keep me from peeling, away all the layers. I can still clearly see all the pain. I opened the wound in hopes rife with healing, now I'm squinching my eyes, and I'm feeling, that salt you threw away, right into this gash, I thought was fairly obvious. But it wasn't at all that you didn't notice, it was just that you simply didn't care. I know that you'll never be there. Got to find a better healer. You suck the pain, only sharing with me, the burden of your cross. With your deceptive phrases, and your mindless prayers. You've made a sort of joke out of me, despite the pain, I can laugh too, in some twisted way... it's quite a scream. We never ever want to awake, from a beautiful dream.
