Lucky 20

Looking for new eyes tonight
Ones I can see through
The eyes I knew once...

They said yes

Mine said no
No, over and over again
But those eyes...
Snake eyes

Now mine stare at the lights over the valley

Necking a smoke

Wondering how things went from deacon to addict

Acronyms

Kold
the words he never told

It
fire he'd ought not lit

Lashes
upon his gashes

Lives
taken by the knives

Edge
leaning off the ledge

Dead
what's inside my head?

--------

More
tales to his lore

Yes
Take another guess

Sick
wounds he will  lick

Ever
addiction's so clever

Love
killing the dove

Filthy
bloody boy so guilty

--------

Fear
of never getting near

Old
habits like mold

Rope
never could cope

--------

L abel
the boy who isn't able

O ath
could never stop the growth

V essel
red with a mortar and pestle

E nd
why is there no end?
