Photoshopped to Delightful Health

by BrokenREALiTy

Heart enclosed in a doughnut of allergies--
suffering sugar aches and bitten tongues.
contacts are finally starting to bug my eyes;
even with 20/15 vision, i can't read Braille.

the contours of your laugh leave bumps upon my skin
only shattered glass could ever understand.
fill the gaps of dented veins and print me photographs;
taste buds can't sample mercury bubbles.

intricate jargon puzzles the average mind;
thus shadow-kissed, forever hunting--
simple words the smitten nerves can't comprehend,
....dusky skies outline sun-cracked lips.

(i'm)
falling.
laughing.

f r e e

unlike the lacy push-up bra i wear to beautify
curves that aren't just bumps on a cement street.
run you over in my black Impala--we're even:
half a cigarette for your half healthy lung.

guilty.
tipping.

l o v e

.
.
.

and i can finally run a mile in six;
my pulse still beats seventy to one.
chocolate rimmed with brandy drunk--
"no alcohol required for vain fixation."
