When?

the dart of the eel

By BrenPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

not until we know what what's about

not until we've sorted all our plots out

not until we pour our hearts out

not until we whore our arts out

they want us to feel for them

they want us to make it real for them

they will feed on our paranoid mistrust

confuse and construe all that’s just

they want to hear our best kept lies

they want kitchen whispers and bedroom sighs

they want beautiful betrayals and sobbing surrenders

they want a gutter level appraisal of the effects of three day benders

they want our hearts they want our souls

they wants our costs they want our tolls

they want secrets and......they want confessions

they want the spills

they want the thrills

and the extra therapy sessions

surreal poetry
