New Shampoo or a Better Cologne?

New Shampoo or a Better Cologne?

A Poem by Jessica Elaine Stevens [Faiteach]
"

An old one this time.

"

 I'm feeling dark and frustrated- 

like I could rip a man to pieces; 
tear his heart out and eat it, 
fork and knife etiquette,
 
I'm feeling kind of agitated-
there's an ocean in my chest;
Apocalypse boiling on the surface,
of my ravaged heart, 
 
I'm feeling trapped and exposed-
young virgin on the operating table;
cut out her innocence,
vestigial structure, didn't need it anyway,
 
I'm feeling a little bored-
exposé on my latest scheme; 
take this photograph and burn it, 
(©) yourself to death,
 
Got some new clothes
Cut my hair a little shorter
Conceal my eyes in shadow
Brush on a tight-lipped smile
 
Doesn't matter how loud I scream-
 
 
-I can still smell your skin on my pillowcase.
