Dare

Why don’t you put your money where your mouth is?
The stale taste of Whiskey stains my lips like arsenic,
So the lies that escape between are tinted with fire.
I ache, I ache.
I miss you like the birds miss the water;
I miss you like the fish miss the land.
Even Ariel wanted to be part of that world.
We’d suck on Warheads under a bright atomic sky
And watch the world go down in flames,
Hand in hand,
Mouths twisted with sour-sweet delight.
It all comes down to Aesthetics,
And the trinity of pitiful Angels can’t seem to figure that out.
Jaws wired shut in the name of Love.
I think I’ll suture my ribcage together instead.
I double-dog dare you to search for my heart beneath the rusted metal.
Infection looms with each attempt.
The Fountain flows on
Though countless have died trying to find it.
There’s no such thing as forever.
There’s no such thing as perfect.
I’ll helplessly sit and watch as you blindly search for both.
“I’m Hopelessly Hopeful;
You’re just Hopeless enough.”

This draws you in. It also makes me want to go shoot something as well. I just get a feel of rebellion from it.
