Vomiting Blue Daisies
chain me to the bed with white pearls
so pretty is the rag that covers my eyes
so sweet the sweat dripping down my cheek
in a flowery dress smiling i lay
hair in curls so perfect
to let go is to lose control
to lose control is to admit defeat
when the sun sets this will still be the same
paste a ruby red grin and burn my lashes black
all for you
a pretty doll with empty eyes
no will see me cry
this rat nibbles on a cold heart
that was carefully cut out
but it's spoiled now
toss it to the floor
and step away
as this flower withers in a golden vase
rotting an awful smell
i vomit blue daisies onto the floor
as you stand watching the pain grow
inside a twisting snake coils biting flesh
so i cut myself open to see if i had a soul
hit bone and leaked my soul out into a crystal glass
a toast for you
drink up
the flower loses it's petals
weeping it's loss
it forgets to grow another
died
the day dissipates
into a foggy memory
and washes out to sea
