Cotton Candy

There's a beacon in my mouth
to light the watered night
to scream to total deafness
to chant and lie to you

Like a mousetrap in my fingers

from which you run away
like a gridlock on my body
that you never want to hold
like a beacon in my mouth
that once on fire
now it's dead

Extinguished by your words

words of nothing
watered sentence
made of air, sugar and starch
inconsequent and careless
from your cotton candy thoughts

Rip my heart out

and wind it like some cheap little toy
to wander by your shadow
I will do no more
