caliginous

lacerate me mentally

and draw me scars in sharpie

trailing technicolor wrists

i'm your harpy

i'm your best mistake

 

feast on poisoned apples

tasting your blood cold and gray

what else must i say

avenues of glass

line the land of smoke and rust

 

tear my skin from bone

and set me on fire

i am metal plates and wire

cyanide and sugar

perfect and bitter

 

you are my harpy

you're my worst mistake

slap me awake

and drag me down in darkness

cold and alone

 

tear me apart

in the name of black romance

i spit blood in your eye

your skin on mine

and i'm okay
