lustre

you have a toxic lustre
a beautiful atomic sheen
overtaking the darkness
you are luminescent, quick and mean
i stumble over shadows
but you’re the knife i cut with
even with a heart half closed
i know all that love is pain shit is myth
you are luminous, quick and sure
overtaking the light
with a beautiful atomic awe
of lustrous toxic fight
i know all that love is pain shit is a myth
with a spirit half flown
these days i’m more knife than pith
a lightbulb blown
