RunawayA Poem by Daniel DelMonaccoCut me open, let me bleed. I have chosen to no longer proceed.
Gather my blood my dear brother. Let it not be seen by our sweet mother.
Throw out these lungs so deprived of air. "I'm going to quit smoking, I promise, I swear"
You wont find my liver, this is no twaddle. Answers were not found at the base of the bottle.
Pull out the freeways that were once so red. Lay me down and split open my head.
Burn both my eyes for they've seen enough. They saw all your lies and they called your bluff.
Now wrap your hands around my brain. F**k you, you b*****d, you were wrong Twain.
Don't bother searching for my once warm heart. She plucked it out and ripped it apart.
Now all that's left is a sad sack of bones. You know what to do with that pile of stones. © 2012 Daniel DelMonacco |
