~B L A D E~
feeling unecessary
wasted ugly pill
maybe if you were here
i'd know where to go
and i see you now
eyeing all the whores
makes sense to numb
pain slicing the blade

melting into a covert
charade that was your arms
but felt better than
nothing...and now
i notice your eyes
as they rape sunday 
dresses, beautiful tresses
but she's slicing the blade.

sideways glances and 
a cigarette at noon
makes love sensible for
coffee creamers.
but quieter than the eyes
roaming her gentle limbs
were the tedious impressions
as you melt into this blade.
