Thirst
By Erotic Asphyxiation
The world is in my hands
Possession brings the unquenchable thirst to destroy it
Sweaty palms pressed on pavement
Awaiting bullets to the back of the head
A noise too desperate to be a laugh
Tears from the throats
With lies dripping from every pause all
Eyes​ averted from the prize
Stiff backs from shrugging
The weight of 7 billion hearts
Bleeding for paradise
Beating for a dream that
Struggling stops
For just a moment
A brief pause in
The unfiltered
All accepted
Untruths revealed by
Bloody knuckles and broken
Hearts that got tired of beating
For a lie
Every beat is mourning the loss of
A pair of glasses
Lenses tinted a pink so
Thick they could be
Rose petals dropping
From wire frames
Wrapped into a brain shriveled from disuse
Wrinkled from soaking in
Toxins that kill more than just the
Rainforests dry to deserts
Sand muffles the cries for paradise
Soft whines for lies echo to the bare sky
Pleading for just a drop of
Toxin coated sugar to quench the
Thirst for destroying the world goes on
Grains of sugar
Once sand
Cake joints
Torn from a ceaseless battle
A broken heart still beats
The mourning ends and
Placed in the back of an overactive head
Delusional with the unquenchable
Thirst for revenge
