Morphine Drip

By DiscordiaDarling

At Sunset,

remember me.

How you swore,

amber flickered in my eyes.

That ignited,

a whirlwind of decay.



Words came too late for me today.

Dancing along my throat.

Couldn't,

wouldn't,

shouldn't,

leave me.



My expressions didn't make sense.

Smiling with tears,

Laughing in anger.

Glancing down to your feet,

too afraid to speak.


I'm scared,

soiled marking on paper holding my emotions.

God forbid.


You smile,

it was her crossing your mind again.

I hold no power there anymore.

It must have been.


Lyrics,

my spirit is leaving me to linger.

So I sing,

unknowing of my lips inevitable betrayal.

"Remember, you promised me.
I'm dying, I'm dying please.
I want to, I need to be...
Under your skin.."


(Lyrics at the end came from Hole-Dying"

  • A former member wrote: You know, the way you wrote this and the emotions expressed, really reminded me of a morphine drip. I liked this
