Pencil Bones

Give them a reason,
to open a slit,
Tweaking the treason,
faking the skit.

They welcome the seasons,
of sappy green will,
Indulging and gorging,
on willing young skill.

Thrashing in rivers,
of hospital blue,
I love you, I hate you,
I’d die for you too,

I want it, I need it,
I'm drained from the fight,
I had it, you took it,
 Hell bred all my spite.

Loaded commitments,
unpayable loans,
All my impediments,
These broken pencil bones.
