Heroine Whore

"Heroine Whore"


She flew in like an angel

Bunching my calloused skin

My sweat subsided when she struck gold

Silver threaded rust pricking the perfect highway

Cold and reason vanished

I simply rose

Warm

Vibrant

Born again for the moment

She seduced me with her needle

Lies and poison flowed sweetly through my head

And the fear of losing her made me grovel

Follow

Worship

I wanted her to want me forever

That was the perfect addiction

At least until the money ran out

"Phillip"

The world was hushed

Shadowed from the pierce of sun

They lay contented

Shaping to the couch

Ignoring the could have been

Whispered about now and tomorrow

He her daring pursuer

She his taunting sweetness

Licking away all his pain

His golden girl

Together they chased away the hurt

No one could imagine

Years of hunger and secrets led them here

To the ends of the earth

Forever within each other’s touch

Knowing they would betray one another

What happiness last spread its wings within his thoughts

None shall ever know

She was his hard candy hell dust

But now that he is gone

Their serendipity withered and ash

She is sure to find another lover
