this mechanical heart pumps a forced beat-
pounding in the back of my mind eyelids shut on the touch
of button while words flow with no remorse
i miss kissing with passion
i missing lying without reaction
stumble over needles spoons burning
your smile injected love when statues bleed
the tears of Mary she cant return the favor with bandaged wrists
a vase of black roses hits the bed reminds her when the pedals
were red satin sheets hang from the wing of a
dark angel climbing this mountain has
taken a year but now her breath seems
to be replaced while baby's breath cries for security
the sun sets in mothers voice
