Oh Boy

Oh boy
You were my one, my one,
My only fun
For these seconds we had
Were each
Like fingers dipped in honey

You were my one, my one,
My hapless fun
You surprised me with my capacity to feel it,
Though I felt it
Because you failed it

Ivory numbness, in lines,
Taken from your skin
That day you sent kisses through the shadows of my heart
And I felt the pieces of my consciousness
Fly apart.

I let your hands sleep on me
Oh, how did you change me so?
I thought I had you, oh boy
But no one can own someone,
Whom drugs have already claimed

I understand craving comforting surrealism
I understand the lure of escape
Of oblivion
Still, when I recall the feel of your pulse...
It was real, I'm sure of it.

Though I wonder whether my heart can beat again
Could I have saved you?
Can it be improved?

Oh boy, my sweet sickness
I'll choke from the reminder
Of your sugary taste on my teeth

This reminiscence feels like
Electric dreaming
I can't relax my throat, so filled
With a gilded apology speech

Oh boy, oh, my own
You were my one, my one
My sorrowful fun, though
I did enjoy your cool dry lips
On my shivering cheeks.

Yesterday, you were so beautiful
But today the powder bleaches the colour from your smile
Your dead eyes, the worst, the worst
My chest burst.

And then,
I couldn't want you anymore.

I couldn't love you, anymore,
Oh boy.
