Uninvited Guest

Poison dripping gently back and forth

Between us both

Ascends in increments

Outside where it collides

In sychophantic dead-end lines

Guilt alone will colour truth

It never needed me or you

Fake confessions burn my night

To waking moments

Accusations fly like birds of prey

Into the heart of my darkest day

Climbed the staircase in the rain

Risked my neck for you again

If I wanted to I could

It never does me any good

What is life without despair?

The elevated moods we share?

Forced to welcome comfort like disease

Take your medicine and leave

Wrap your fingers 'round my past -

Breaks your skin like broken glass

Bleed into the paper cup

Drink it down then spit it up

Make a mess upon the floor

On which you crawl to lock the door

Accusations fly like birds of prey

Into the heart of my darkest day
