Not your typical inconstancy. by Dorian BlackWho knew that you could be the neurotoxin I wanted so badly?
Slowly devitalized with your recherché guise and
strung up from your pedestal, that I so foolishly
mistook for a soapbox, without feeling a thing.
I remember thinking that for a martyr
you were awfully quiet.
And while you choke on words that mend,
so beautifully, what I didnt know was a wound
Ill run to the places that we died.
Mistakes of who we used to be,
will haunt us to our graves.
Sweet asphyxiations, on tasteless lexicon.
I hated your silent treatments when they involved
hearing you moan his name.
Even so, I find myself falling asleep to the white noise
on the B side of this tape, where your voice used to
assure me of our love.
I guess your words just lost their luster,
and I just lost my nerve.
