Acid Falls Like Rain

A detonation
of  flavor. So saccharine,
Like

A gut wrenching punch,
leaving a painted scowl

Each brush stroke leaving wails
of agony,
pain.

Tears won't come from a black eye.

A shooting star,
hope, optimism,
turns into grim death

A meteor crushing your gravestone
Leaving a crater of a whole
within thy self

Blood
rolls off the tongue

Cannot be taken back
poison
what your words are now,

Seeping out of your mouth
limiting whatever ability you had left
to speak

Acid falls like rain,
melting your soul,
leaving your body as a husk

To blow into a wind

Tumbleweed flying by a
desert town
