Excellence In Bourgeoise Sadness

I've bent the rules and
dipped them in the sewer,
polluting a sacred word.
The worth of all my words
amounts to nearly a split penny.
When fragments of a promise
reach your ears, forget my golden tongue.
Guilt forgoes the pain and
makes digestional problems long.
Regreat crawls into bed only
after the fact and remains
blind to all but one.
I'll tear apart the mind's pleadings
to move to some semblance of hope.
But I can never move on without you;
So if you feel like dyin' (like i do)
join me at the river for a heavy swim.
Piercing blue eyes, I'm piercing blue eyes.

I love that last part, it struck me something horrible. beautiful and some sort of reminder.
