All The Things I've Never Known

Her smile is viral

It smothers you
And stretches your endurance
Her mouth is toxic
Like a wasteland
It is filled with broken promises
And decapitated dreams
Her tongue is deceptive like a
Hologram with teeth
Or a book that cuts
Her pages are no good
But she won’t be deferred
She cannot be deterred
She will make her passion heard
She is needy and greedy and will step
Through death and drag the stench
Of tears and blood and waste
Right across your gut

I am stuck to her
Like a fly to a death light I used to fight it
But now it’s pointless
even though she has all the valu
of a discarded cigarette
Smelling of old use
She is my muse
