[hometext] => Keep your friends close; keep you enemies closer.
[bodytext] => ‘She’s like this because she’s lonely’ They say, giving to me what I already own As a present from the heart that pretends To bleed and arbitrarily makes amends. Gratitude has no place when faces Blend into blurs of matter wasted And starved…the scars heal every time So why do you worry? Everything’s fine. Exterior actions wash over unchecked I’ll live, I’ll refrain, I’ll forbear, I’ll forget But I am not alone, the other one Sits and smirks and has begun To blot our chemicals with mud The gift, the curse of running blood Pollutes the whitest pages dark Weighing down the hopeful heart Into the awful depths where skin Is violent, forced between within And ostracised, we go hand in hand; Shackled, dragged, twinned and damned.
