Sucking on a sucker
|
running down the alley
|
away from worthlessness.
|
It's dusk.
|
The lovely, pink sky eggs me on.
|
Thinking of you,
|
I roll this candy on my tongue.
|
I throw a rock in the air,
|
but it doesn't go anywhere.
|
(like my spinning wheels)
|
Reminiscent of this sugar lump,
|
it seems to be lodged in the centre of my throat.
|
|
Choking on the truth.
|
I thought it was my candy,
|
but I'm choking on the truth.
|
|
Discreetly I try to cough it out,
|
try to scream and shout.
|
Everchanging flights of ideas,
|
my life is surely
|
flashing right before my eyes.
|
You have a way. You startle me.
|
I laugh. I face reality.
|
This is a pill of strong will
|
and, as you intended,
|
so hard to swallow.
|
|
Choking on the truth.
|
I thought it was my candy,
|
but I'm choking on the truth.
|
|
I am honesty, and this is hard.
|
You were everything I ever want.
|
Your memory is sweet candy,
|
the flavors fading away...
|
|
Sucking on a sucker
|
running down the alley.
|
Running over all the things I could have done differently.
|
You were mean to me.
|
I didn't mean to be so real
|
and pure
|
and simple
|
and honest
|
and you make me sad.
|
You make me mad.
|
You're making me choke!
|
|
Choking on the truth.
|
I thought it was my candy,
|
but I'm choking on the truth.
|
|
Choking on the truth.
|
I thought it was my candy,
|
but I'm choking on the truth.
