you re looking at me now and i don t know what to say medicine from the mouth is poison in the brain and wet black streaks are scarring the side of your face i watch you undress and sleep in the mess you made you d look prettier dead so i ll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed you ll strain your lungs into the pillow crying no no no after it is done i can see the stains on your teeth and the sides of your face seem to lack all symmetry i will forgive and never forget i won t deny my philosophy s amiss these words are poison delivered through the lips stating it simply ignorance is bliss you d look prettier dead so i ll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed you ll strain your lungs into the pillow sighing no no no
