Nothing's changed the colour of your eyes,
and lies
believed, keep the bad dreams at bay.
You say,
"Forever and ever. Leave you? Never!",
then sever
and cordially serve a table of one.
Well done?
No, she likes her meat to bleed,
she feeds
herself nails and shards of glass.
The past
is licking at worn down heels,
she feels
the cards and just keeps shuffling.
Yes, nothing's
changed but the colour of my mind's sky.

    i can hear myself saying this part out loud to myself whilst serving up a steak... (just a steak, because when i eat alone, i don't usually make square meals... or triangular ones, or whatever shape meals are now, fuck)... anywho... yeah... in a British accent... like we did when we were kids, hating our mom with all the sardony eight-year-olds can muster... (is sardony a word? lol...)

    ""Forever and ever. Leave you? Never!",
    then sever
    and cordially serve a table of one."

    :D I always thought meals were round! :p

    (And even if sardony isn't quite a word--I know what you mean. :) I liked to put on my kilt and rain my sardony down in a Scottish accent. :D:D )

    Mmmm, talking about steaks....had a real good n' bloody one last night at the pub. The price is right--can't beat Steers & Beers night!! LOL! :D
