DarkPoetry -|- manunkind -|- dont touch me

dont touch me

jesus, how much black lines your eyes?

you would be surprised

i'll scrub the layers off, flake the pain away,
is that ok?

take away my one defence? you dare to touch
my electric fense?

sure. i'll chip the pain away, make it all
better.

you lie. nothing will cure the many years
of self mutulation.

just let me try, let in the light like
a beautiful orb of sensation

you dare to look me in the eye? if
you touch me, you will die

cant i just help you for a while? scrub
away the salty tears, the black that rings
your eyes?

never leave a girl without a wall,
help me by not letting it fall

what fall?

the rings of black, the bittersmile,
the warning sign: stay away from me

so i'll help you by-

STAY AWAY FROM ME! dont mar the perfect
lie. there is a reason ive scrubbed black
upon my eye

thats not the way to live, i could teach
you to live

dont scrub the black from my eye! i like
the bloody tears that i cry!
