Crooked

By winter jazz

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Do not flicker among the whims of night    Somehow it just takes away the sighs    Never mind the simple tears you shed    Once they dry up, they are lost in the air    So push the bated breath into your stomach    Let the willowed pain drill through within    Allow the parasite to swell as you choke    out....    A crooked smile    And that's all the whole world will see.
