Drain the Blood - Excerpt
I tried to ignore the words which escaped her mouth. I focused, instead, on a half eaten croissant, which someone left in the corner of the room. One of the flakes, which had coral lipstick on it, fell onto the plate. I tried to wonder who she was, whether she was married or if she had kids, but I snapped back into the conversation.
"You see, we just aren't good for each other. I'm not in the right place for this, I'm a mess and you are... Kate, you're just so, pessimistic and depressive. We are feeding off each other's negativity"
I was numb and slightly cold; the words went through me. Everything she was saying sounded like hippie bullshi

The Needle Tears a Hole
Bury the needle six foot deep
Right into my cold dead skin
Push the plunger and let it release
Send in Euphoria
The track marks follow my downfall
I'm getting closer, inch by inch
Almost down to rock bottom
In this hole, full of gasoline
I try to climb back up
But, there is a catch
A match is stuck to my hip
It's the price of my next hit...
I hate this mix of emotions inside of me
Brewing up a chemical reaction
Ready to overflow
Past the brim of the vial
The one full of poison
I'll mix in with the rum
And then I'll just lay here
Til kingdom come.
Why can't we all just get along
And fight together
Fight together
I was a young girl
When I got told
There's no happiness
In this damned world
So just let go of it
And give up hope
I became angry
At this old man
I told him he's a liar and
Swore to prove him wrong one day
Why can't we all just get along forever
And fight together instead of with each other
Fight together to change the world
So I set off on this journey of mine
Fighting dragons and wars
In my little white Skirt
But it was all in my head (for a while)
I came across some really strong men
And some women who took care of them
But it wasn't enough

She wonders if they notice
The lack of light in her eye,
The lack of colour in her skin,
The lack of soul in her life.
She wonders if they hear
The sounds of the screaming,
The sounds of the crying,
The sounds of the rain washing it all away.
She wonders if they feel
A shudder when she winces,
A shudder when she cries,
A shudder when she walks by.
Is it only temporary? This feeling?
I wish sadness were a warm thing.
I am so cold.
...If I sit on the railroad tracks until I hear its inevitable roar, will you come and get me?
Or will you stay home and save me?
Maybe you are on that train.
The irony.
what is it when you
close your eyes
but still see everything
when the street lights pass
your blindness,
body swaying
but a hand gripping yours
and teardrops fall to your forehead
all you can do is
look down
the velvet silence that is
a searing pain
but there are no tears
on the outside
