Copper flavored velvet rum

By VenomPlease

*For Rachel*


Who can we blame?
The devil, our scapegoat?
For plauging your life with this hell

Radiation
Your golden brown locks of beauty fall out into your very hands
And then you break down
Right in front of me
I'm consumed by emotions of mass confusion
Sympathy?
Empathy?
Sorrow?
Madness?
How should I feel?
How should I come to your rescue,
and save you when your on the edge of destruction?
The only way I know how...

Friends are for sharing and caring
So I share with you my secrets, my friends
Exchanging one evil for the next
Copper flavored velvet rum
Your blood
Tastes so good at the edge of a razor

(Sharing)
The contents of your feeble weak self spill out onto the floor
Staining like a glass of red wine
I lick the edge of your same razor
Cut myself another line, sharing with you

(Caring)
The contents of your mercy shot spill out onto the floor
Staining like the ugliest black tar
Stick the end of my same needle
Into your tiny arm, caring for you

Plunging the poison in
I'm sorry
This is the only way I can help
Because I love you
Want to help you chase your demons out,
Your troubles away
We both just want to get away
