I Wrote A New Poem

[onehiphamster]

Ode to Blood (I've Drained My Veins)

To go back to save him, and to leave her
Swallow him up in sweet cream and fur
Hey there wild woman, I hear your pink motor whir
But now that daddy got saved, we're all saved for sure

You'll never take what was theirs and buy broken glass
Or sleep while your babies are turned into ash
Throw them into dark ocean, don't wait for a splash
What parts of me came from you, I can't help but ask

But I didn't go back, daddy wasted away
She was left with bad uncle, a man known to say
How nobody loved her and that now she would pay
With red welts and bad tv every strange fearful day

And so this is half of what brought me to life
A mean bully man and his scared shitless wife
And a pill-popping beauty on the edge of a knife
They all sealed my fate as a girl born to strife

But those retro sickos are forever gone now
And although it is true that I'm just learning how
The cycle stops here: my heart pumps out this vow
'Cause I've sucked all the sadness my body can allow

And I might share your genes and your history
But your fucked-up story 'aint the story of me
I'll sing songs and make friends and I'll live in a tree
You're dead, I'm alive, and I'm young, and I'm free
