Sulphur Rodents

Trembling, tried and terrified.

Spell cast with open eyes

to greet and feed me

with a smile you mean and a poison you surely don't.

Rushing like rats through my wretched veins,

ever faster, promise racing

to bring some foul salvation

to my weakening carnal cage.

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy,

spit into wounds that would burn, had I known.

Burns of misplaced ill affection,

such a sweet addiction.

Disintegrating grace,

Eating through my weakening carnal cage.

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy,

spit into wounds that would burn, had I known.

If I could pinpoint a place where I can still feel you,

would you cut it out of me?

Would you please just cut it out of me?

Deny me, get it over with.

Do us all a favor, see if I care.

Misplace me and I'll grow a shadow

in someone else's life, for all I care.

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy,

spit into wounds that would burn, had I known.

I fall back in line,

pushed, pulled,

and await my time.
