baby doll

Your eyes edged with coastlines,

Baby just hold me closer

On this frosted night.

Forget what the others say and just 

Follow my lead.

Your skin like hot tarmac under my thumbs,

Cracking and splitting open 

From those swarming vultures preying by cribs.

Baby, I’m screaming,

But they cut out my tongue, don’t you know?

Next they’ll come for my head,

But it all seems worth it in the end,

If your face is all I see.

Baby don’t listen to what they say about me.

Your hand falls,

The waves crash against your pupils,

You smell like a storm.

Baby I know you’re not mine, 

But just know that I am yours.

Life has never been fair to madwomen like me.
