you're killing me

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My jail cells on fire (The one you’ve locked me in) And Standing right in front of me You’ve thrown away the key But you tell me your so sorry it fell into the flames and your afraid Your shift is over; you must leave As my skin melts away onto the cement floor It’s ok just close your eyes and go get high Erase the memories of mascara running down my face The mascara I never wear Forget what it sounds like to hear me cry for your help, The help thats not even there Just one more time, You’re standing right in front of me You’ve thrown away the key You tell me your so sorry Your shift is over; you must leave Inhale the smoke and image you didn’t walk away with the key Written January 20th, 2002 © on Jan 20 2002 01:56 PM PST   20 • 0 • 1
