Burdened Heavily with the Placebos of the People
Panacea She could starve the rest And feed the others Lay us to waste in the honey smother Pucker the putrid bile of merciless mercy and leave us to die in a metallic breeze
A vanilla-scented, crisp, disinfected Sugary medicine could not save Could not save us from ourselves
So forms a grimacing smile Clear from the mouth to the eyes And when you don't eat what they give you A tombstone shoved down your throat to open up wide
Christmas comes, Christmas leaves us With what we've

Burdened Heavily...

I don't really get the central theme, but I like a lot of the lines. I see connections of chemistry, but overall I'm not sure...

Palm to palm...
The rain washed over us. The kind of rain that soaks through all the layers. Settling deep within you. Cleanses the soul. And here we are, in nothing more than night clothes, fingers laced, eyes closed, standing in the rain.
Body to body...
Every sense was attuned to the growing proximity. Drunk off the very nearness of you. Aware of the building heat between us as we huddled closer for warmth. Arms tangled around eachother, cheeks pink, grinning. Not needing to speak. Content.
Breath to breath...
Evidence of our laughter fogging the air between us. Wispy trails

Heartbeat To Heartbeat

This is so beautiful. I am left stunned. Favorite line: So many breaths and yet my lungs are not empty. That line is so magnificent....

There are living waters within me Without me There are singing angels without me Within me I've grown so incredibly cold But you've all come to keep me warm I've always felt incredibly old But you've all reminded me I am young
I'm not as sick as I thought I was I'm not a horrible, an inhumane I'm not hated as I thought I was I'm not adorable, but hey, I'm not profane
There are living waters within me All around me There are days when I'm flying down Crashing up I've sung an inaudible song for so long But you've all come just to

First things first. I'm not sure what what the living waters ... "without me" part means. I understand the "within me", but the w...

I was standing outside myself, trying to stop it all I am a ghost wanting what every ghost wants I leave behind me syrup-sweet words which fade to gray The sour anger they leave behind is all that will stay I can smell it on your breath, my eyes take in the scene You flirt me with your attention, hand poised to strangle dreams But I won't let myself fall down to a cold ray of sunshine
Your words are broken upon the casket that holds me Your words are spoken to deaf ears that cannot hear Came here, your reflection mirrors my direction But it's a hollow gesture of a faith unreal

I like the opening two lines a lot, which you have said is from the book? Good choice to start a poem. "I leave behind me syrup-sweet...

You haven't lived until you've heard Heart-Shaped Box On an old CD/Cassette boombox Cobain shouts his complaint Meat-eating orchids drag me under A generation of long-lost angst A lesson learned I won't soon forget
It wasn't all worthless...
Sue us for our piracy Share your love with me Deny I never existed Cigarette burns on my this
I love you and I am not
You can't really bleed unless your anemic Otherwise you're fake and don't know it You've been flogged by licorice whips so long You've forgotten what it tastes like to hear a rea

I think the last stanza that is repeated 3 times throughout the poem is a good stanza, BUT I think 2 repetitions would be enough. I thi...

When you think you're dying When you think you're lost When you've turned away And you see your ghost When you try so hard to believe Waiting forever for your soul to bleed Something's missing from your life Could it be worse?
When you come home crying When your heart feels numb When a sad song is comforting And you're deaf, blind, and dumb When you put yourself in your own little pocket And when you slam your door and struggle just to lock it Something's ruining your life Could it be worse?

I'm not crazy about all the "when when when"'s I have to say, but I think that's more opinion based than anything. I thi...
