Lateral Guilt

[Jason Rimbaud]

Lateral Guilt

By: Jason R.

You are the place I?ve stayed too long

Our vocal battles always ended in drama

But I learned about spoons and candles

About justifying addictions

By using my body as a weapon

You push me away

Even as you reach out blindly

For my touch to comfort you

Yet you sell your body for money

I guess being a stone

Protects your fragile mind

With denial

I want to be unfeeling

I want to be a stone

I want to be you

[Camy]

Definitely ripped from a wounded heart

Probably not everyone will understand

probably not to everyone's taste

Definitely powerful, damning, and oh so sad

I read it over and over again.

'scuse the pseudo poetic review.
