[bodytext] => Morning has broken like an unscratchable itch; like a shining /*****/. I don/'/t like her; she lashes me with the whip of bitter truth. Pour me another drink, let me think about the savage night. Are you giving anything? A bubble of truth? Or just another drop-eyed judgement that lasts till your smugness eats my mind. Far too unkind for an /'/empath./'/ The mirror is your saviour. It smiles a sycophatic smirk as you slip your treacherous dirk from a dead man/'/s sock. Beware the clock. You danced like Scheherazade: too many silks to bleed a man. Too many lies for survival. Too many eyes for denial. See the weak falter at the altar. Don/'/t alter the script, it has been ripped from an open hand: a strand of yesterday/'/s hope. A poem for a dope? Better to stay with the shadows of night than be bullied by the deceiving rays of morning. Still, the sun rises in ignorance, and the blackbird sings his song. He always sings his song.
