Description Speak to us.
Open your mouth, your answers to us
Do you know what you wreak?
Marvel at the mangled beauties in your wake
Your last darling rots in her hospital bed
All you gave her was a kiss and the plague
Blind fool, she paid you in blood
though it all tastes the same
from nameless lips

Why do we line up, day after day for you?
Why do we rip out our willing hearts for you?
You are the blame on our soiled pages
You are the cheap, hopeless thrills
You thrill our sleazy, dripping fingers.

So tired, so numb and gray in silence

Would you have the lovelies scream
and keep our ears ringing?
Oh, would you keep our fists thumping?
Would you keep your girls jumping?

Won’t you lap up
all this tasty copper we have
to give?

Brilliant. I DO know how hard it is to say "blood" in a poem without sounding like a whining emo kid. Well done love<3

yep, plus when you repeat words it generally sounds really sleep-inducing. -.-
