Lilies



This angel is so sweet he is divine;

He takes his time and kisses me slowly.

He kisses me where the raindrops trickle down my lips and this is only before                                    
               Tomorrow comes.

This is only before Tomorrow rears its ugly head between my thighs and slithers until 
              it angrily grips my hips.

And this is before Tomorrow puts needles in the liver and grotesquely tenderizes my  
      heart.

I want to stay;

I want to never satisfy this need and to never leave.

But Tomorrow comes and my angel goes,

And Tomorrow digs its nails into my skin and in the spine it represses as much as it   
      can so I become overwhelmed with pain.

And it is in the spine that it buries its head and sinks its fangs into the stomach and the  
        lung,

And it is here that I cry out in agony,

Let the tears vanish, 

I want to cry no more.

Tomorrow is the one that stands on my back until I collapse from under its weight and
   the sticky vomit and the lights are off and I am tired.

This angel...

He is so beautiful and he holds me to his heart,

Keeping me for today,

Pushing Tomorrow further away.
