Who are you?A Poem by Sol_Corvo
I am fire
In the solace of night I've no truer smile as I watch The ashes of my skin, that burn like mad As my own personal jailor, a cigarette light Shoots pain up my arm causing a blotch It burns less than you; and you make me sad Because I've never had someone I love be someone I fight So I reach for a bottle, bottoms up, scotch And for a second I'm glad I'm hooked on you and not anything else But you're wrong about me, this time For there is no beauty in this pain I'm a slave to the devil and he wants my life And I can't say I've committed no crime But acid fills my throat like a chain It cuts my words and causes nothing but strife Now I am alone There is no love Because you are what I require And I cannot atone For who sends a crow to bed with a dove? Because in the solace of night, I am fire © 2015 Sol_Corvo |
