Three O'Clock Dime

Three O'Clock Dime

A Poem by Abdul Batin Osman Bey
"

A ballad of heart break,

"

When I first met you

It was like a spring flower blooming in snow

Now just the sight of you

Brings memories of nails through my feet

 

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

 

Your ounce porcelain skin

Is slowly cracking showing off your sins

What have you done with your treasures?

Did you lose it in the heat of the sun?

 

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

 

Pluto would be nice for a vacation

To live there would be too much masturbation

Picture Dora in Grey

Do you know what I’m trying to say?

 

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

Turn me on turn me off again

Moonlight to black light, black light to white

grr typos lol thank you for the review and overlooking my evil typo
A bit of a departure for you theme-wise, but a successful one for sure, and you've still managed to stay true to your punk roots with the wry wit in the second-to-last verse...Power-ballad material for sure lol
