Poetry:
Shhhhh...
Tiptoe through my mugged life
Lest these wet clingy reds stick to you. Believe me, they dont wash off easily.
They stay and stink and sometimes they laugh too.
Not the companion-partner laugh but the piercing mocking one.
They don't come cheap or kind.
So shut your eyes and close those ears and oh.. dont smell 'em...
Shhhhh...
Are you waiting still?
Pitying? Worrying? Doubting?
That's always how it traps.
With the guilt.
P.s. This is not the guilt you can live with.
This is not even the luxury I want to die in.
Shhhhh.... have you gone yet?
