Pick Your Poison
<p>Cigarettes, my darling,</p><p>Will unravel your breath,</p><p>Make your skin cling to your skeleton,</p><p>Turn your breath into a gasp.</p><p>Will fill your pockets with ashes,</p><p>And stitch your name to the wind.</p><p><br/></p><p>Sugar, my sweet,</p><p>Will dissolve your teeth in a smile,</p><p>Will turn your blood into a sluggish river,</p><p>Will promise you gold and give you rust.</p><p>Will make a home in your cell,</p><p>A quiet, sweet decay. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Liquor, my dear,</p><p>Will shut down your liver’s quiet work.</p><p>Will blur the lines you drew in the sand,</p><p>Make you forget who you promised to be,</p><p>And leave you remembering only the ghost of that forgetting.</p><p><br/></p><p>Screens, my obsession,</p><p>Will steal the colour from the sky,</p><p>Will trade your memories for a reflection,</p><p>Make you hunger for a light that doesn’t warm,</p><p>And leave your thoughts scattered,</p><p>Like bright, broken glass.</p><p><br/></p><p>Drugs, my love,</p><p>Will take your brain away on a one-way trip,</p><p>Make you ache for a ghost of feeling,</p><p>Make you shake in an empty room,</p><p>Convince you that void is a companion,</p><p>And lock the door behind you.</p><p><br/></p><p>Love, my angel,</p><p>Will make your nights grow long,</p><p>Will make you undress in the cold night of your own mind,</p><p>Will make your head a cathedral of whispers,</p><p>It will be the poison you savor,</p><p>The sweetest collapse,</p><p>The ruin you choose</p><p>again</p><p>and</p><p>again</p><p>and</p><p>again.</p><p><br/></p>
