sick sad world

i bite the metal and crunch the glass
blood soaks my cheeks

silver pours down my face
hands beat into my back

hot alcohol breath sprays onto
the back of my neck

my lungs are foggy and
my head is pounding like a drum

my ponytail swings like
a bronze pendulum

diamonds pour out of
the holes in my fingertips

my eyelashes fall off
and flutter like spring blossoms

hearts and veins quit
pumping ruby blood

a ghost plays against
the window curtain

she can't save my
sorry ass this time
