limelights.and.diamond.knives

it's like kissing a smoking gun
sear your lips with the mockery you make of life
as you count the lies like sheep

[if only this were a dream]

sketch your spurious smiles and liquid empathy
on a cracked canvas of forget-me-nots and lost love notes
as I hand you the blade and hold out my wrists
hoping that this time you'll leave my heart out of it

such a stupid child am I
to look into your limpid limelight of delusion
and follow your checkerboard reality to whenever
dressed in khaki coated persuasions
as I hang by a string of denial

your words cut like knives of diamonds
so please, sever me from your strand of hope

Sixy... a truly elegant and soulful write. The words flow beautifully, each word essential to the overall piece. With so much superfluous crap in the world, this is a masterpiece. Love it. Foxy xx
