Jaundice
by Scarlet· from Breaking The Dead Stare
my fair weather friend
spawned from twisted fate and plummeting skies
and epileptic tongues that dance to the pulse of sharpening knives
colonies of maggots are woven in your words
feasting on the carcass of your lies
under crimson waves
things can never be the same
no canvas untarnished
no knife unsharpened
no heart unbroken
nothing is the same
living in your leprosy-ridden friendship
ând loathing these bleedings graced by rusting razors
brings me to jaundice smiles and leprosy scars
my bleeding heart can only clot but so much
and it has reached its bloody quota for a lifetime
so don't cry for me
or the smiles or scars that i've kept
forget our memories of this leprosy-ridden friendship
