you say i m torn apart my dear you just don t know to what extent i ve been evicted from myself in shreds left begging on the corners of my toes for pennies to pay the toll that lets me back inside my head you sweet girl have been a shining lady so why demean yourself with undemanding love nothing holds you to the life of rooftops but possibly the memory of a dark heart and a poet the laughter of a child rings in your ears alone you ll have to pass the blood to flesh since my only progeny is granted to porcelain and wishes why succumb to kleptomania of the soul it s been too long since i ve been a whole fractions familiarity i lay my head upon my knees for no tears to fall i ve cried too much for love you beloved wisher had been chosen so why now do you seek an ordinary face i will not love you when you are sane your sin was your beauty repulsive in your radiance abandoning in your wanderings those dark nights outside in the fields of despair do you know what you forsake ripped away cut away the crust of my being nothing fresh remains i think i ve passed the expiration date
