Rusted Enquiry.

Dirty decaffeinated words
Spit out in the bitterness of midnight
Scrape across the surface
And drip down the chin
(It disgusts)
Alone and wandering can't hurt
And the numbing pain
Of a Novocain powder on your nose
Can be beautiful
The compact mirror never lies
(But I do...)
Screaming praises downwards
Won't get anywhere
And collapsing on the floor
Moves naught but the creaky board
That won't cry for the distress
Of a porcelain toy
BREAK IT, scream, BREAK IT
Tears mean nothing, you'll find
When they don't fall

That was so haunting!

Tears should flow,or they become icy shards which stab the soul.

Take care buddy.

welcome back...

now will have to gear up the mind again to understand and read between those lines...

there is sure more that those "dirty decaffeinated words" that you have poured.

Well and honestly TEARS mean nothing cause for some they SIMPLY fall....as a bribe to buckle
