Human Anatomy and PhysiologyA Poem by James WellsWell God damn I'd write another song for a girl. And you'd take it in your veins. A clumsy heroin for my heroine I'd let my words go to waste. The diamonds in your eyes Tell a story of a time long gone tonight. And I'll be waiting for your call, waiting for the fall The leaves would burn, a phoenix I'd return. It's not always love and laughter for the happy ever after It's venom and toxic poisons, for the one who is chosen It's not always cutesy little letters, or something that is better. It's paragraphs and melodies, chained up quick catastrophes. I'd let this parasite eat me from inside If it were a ticket to your eyes. And you'd leave this illness on my carcass Reminding me I'm heartless all the time That's why I latched onto your lungs I'd climb and climb the rungs And nestle myself deep inside your heart. It's not always love and laughter for the happy ever after It's venom and toxic poisons, for the one who is chosen It's not always cutesy little letters, or something that is better. It's paragraphs and melodies, chained up quick catastrophes. © 2013 James Wells |
