The Drink in Your Mouth

by FireFly - Libra

Blinded in tired withdrawn seclusion-
Marred my way thru this world-
That gave me my life and mortal awareness-
The realization, nothing I’ve done-
Has comforted me-
Along come moistened mouths-
Hungry for each drawn out story-
Even if it punishes me-

Here is my email and number-
Call me...if you want to dig a grave-
Call me...to spend every last dime-
Call me...to brush up on your drinking-

Are you afraid?-
Not to strong, living vicariously through friends-
Till you can’t feel your own pain-
Is hope the dangling carrot you’re chasing down-
As you parade with a smile that’s six feet-
Underground-

Sadness hasn’t matured in you yet-

Let the spices salivate your taste buds-
No chaser right now-
It’s good you taste its glory-
Just remember-
It’s your mouth you’re feeding-
Not mine-

Reason for writing:

    Leopard skin shoes, gold chains, bright big pearly teeth. Lounged in between cushions made for aristocrats and mouth less emotionless people....glaring in each others gaping hole with a smile that says "At least I don't feel alone, feeling alone."
