01) limerence

love is a myth:
a dove’s brittle wish--
pheromone bones
to be dug in a ditch
(such an abyss)
it’s a bug by a witch
cupid’s coven: a kiss
that’s infected by hexes
i’m lockin’ lips with the apocalypse

the stars are fated
my heart has waited
behind the bars of Satan
darkness fading
LOVE and LUST are guards
and I’m incarcerated
in Mephisto’s prison; it
strips sinners of their innocence
I’m seeking deliverance
please save me from this limerence

a flaming chamber of shame
man it starts in the heart
works its way to the brain
i can’t be saved
i’m damned yet
my heart keeps on bleeding too damaged i’m banished from the garden of eden
i’m a weed in the devil’s conservatory
i’m a supernova crashing into purgatory

tossing coins in the loins of an unwell well
cause my wishes so sick they got a coughing spell
love’s a wicked/twisted malediction; my heart’s off to hell
love’s a shovel buries you alive with no coffin bell to ring
