Mercury

Poem

Baby, I don’t want to break your heart.

But together we’re Mercury, we’re breaking apart.

I don’t wish to see you sad.

Mercury tainted tears makes crying real bad.

Baby, I should not breathe you in, my lungs would just ignite.

I don’t know if I’ll take you in, but maybe I just might.

I probably won’t call, don’t expect me to write.

I probably won’t stay for long in your life.

I won’t eat you up, I’ll take itty bites.

Cops were almost called over some bitty fights.

I’d come to save you through hordes of zombies with my mini-knife!

Baby, come with me and stay the night.

Together we’re Mercury, but it’s paradise.

Come with me and let’s disappear.

Mercury’s inside you, your death is here.

Baby, try not to breathe me in.

I can be toxic, but at least I can rock it.

Blessings? I’d hate to block ‘em.

I feel sort of shock-sick, my muscles are locked-in,

brain isn’t optic.

I’d come to life, but it’s no longer an option.

I’m barely conscious, I’m not responsive.

Baby, I don’t mean to break your trust.

But this Mercury’s deadly, this is not love.

I don’t want to make you choke.. on the Mercury stuck deep down your throat.
