Road Flare

The 2 A.M Writer

I want to find your nestled heart

Cure the cancer and suck the venom

Lick away the scratches and cuts

Kill the Devil from your veins

But I can't go through,

when you keep slitting your ears and tongue

Never listen

...

You'll keep running without tendons

And I'll chase you without arms

Headless torso and heartless nymph

Tempt me with your sickening rehab

It'll never stop burning,

unless you take a moment to stop

Please stop

...

Touching stitches with tongue

Spitting all over my bandages

Quit it before I neuter you

Face it, we know I bluff

You take advantage of my eyes,

weak and of dimming response

Good night

...

    You really sound like you are trying desperately to help. Vivid description.
