Remember me
I was the boy at the end of your thighs
And the blush in surprise
When you held my hand in full view
Now I'm so red that my eyes bleed
Watch me receive
Nails curl back from the quick as they curl with my limbs
ย
Standing limp in the pool of the light
So callous and cruel
Don't stop piercing me through
As the shadow of you
Meets the shadow of my former self
A quick recollection
And a smile for an old time
Sometimes I feel like I'm being unkind
Skin tight yet sallow
Severed by the shallow
Reaching for the glow
At the end of the tunnel
Somewhere up the ladder stands I
Slumped as the car drives over the kerb to the wall
And the hiss of the speed is the static clawing me up to the rocks
Always and ever in nowhere's land
Where my driver slumps over my wheel
