an addiction for your affliction

[paintingitgrey]

bright blue eyes under a hateful disguise
pierced in the side, in pieces no longer peace
star-studded glitter in the cognoscenti
she has an addiction for your affliction
and the world at your feet

out of this world, in a separate dimension
time bides no age and only would question
the ways of this era and the death brought and wrought
war is meaningless, soldiers are statistics

do not bear on your forehead what will momentarily free
but cost and make you bear the price of eternity.
