Anti-Placid

Demon
With your sunken, swallowed eyes
Eat it up, eat it up
Take me in
Watch me watch
As I fail, stumble, fall
Lick those sallow lips
Cracked with distaste

Angel
With your delineate, defined contour
Flaunt it all, flaunt it all
Take me in
Watch me watch
As I succeed, flourish, thrive
Eyed from head to feet
Jealousy washes over them

Feed this fantasy
Fuck what they say
This is for me, this is me
Skeletal fingers press onward
Searching for so much more
Losing feeling
As they dissipate, disappear, disarm
Leaving me in limbo
