Selachian
Selachian
By Eddy Styx
for too long now
have I lived with the
bitter wound eternally festering
carcinoma in the cockles
of your heart
blind with an unrelenting
Judas Complex
Serrated edges of promises broken
shattered in the jaws
of your decayed lying
sharp-as-splinters teeth
you've taken your bites out of me
your love has changed me
transposed me redisposed me
that's my beating heart
lying on the tiles of the kitchen floor
yet you smile as lie upon lie
clings to your enticing lips
breathlessly I kiss the deceit
from that cool cherry-ripe mouth
greedily gobbling
your toxic candied kisses
while you scoop out my spleen!
*selachian
