I'm addicted to your noxious chemicals
your love is hazardous waste,
chlorine bleach, plastic fire
You are the blackest smoke
filling my pink lungs
Your smile
spits poison in my face
behind your mascara eyes
is genocide, falling bombs,
dust bowl, famine and apathy
You don't even know
that you deal in carcinogens,
that in your wake
is a thirsty, desolate land
Your words are dioxin
your tongue is a fire
that never goes out
Whatever you did to me
I wish you would take it back
whatever you want from me
I'm sure is long gone
I am an abandoned church,
my gothic stance is all that's left
rocks have penetrated my windows,
my insides are moldy and flaking
my doors are locked
but somehow you've
found a way in
You like it here,
for some sinister reason
We belong together
we are the last of a dying breed
we are a unified brokenness,
dying animals holding onto one another
shuddering, coughing
laughing in the moonlight
extracting what life we can
from the shifting shadows
and the festering mess
that surrounds us
boring into one another
for the last holdout promises
and smiling our sick, cancerous smiles
for the last time.
