The Edge of A RazorA Poem by LA WaningOutside of Babylon I dug a hole
perfect fit for a hollow soul I knew her on the hillside know she lays cold by the wayside We were once friends and then lovers but I had to sever her pulleys I had to break all her switches and levers I had to throw my toy affray and then I had to stow away Darkness comes viscous and thick for me Ink to coat my eyes and make me see That some day soon I'll be the one in the ground I guess what goes around it comes around Throw me in the cold cold earth don't place those coins upon my eyes for that's all that I am worth I was a wolf in lamb's disguise I fed from my prey with lies I won't have a tomb engraved I'll make sure your prayers are saved Deep down in Hell my bed is made I carved my way there with a razor blade © 2014 LA Waning |
