pants lipstick black
screaming sirens afire

No choice, no way
betrayed your conscience
one too many times
caught red handed,
but you open your fist
lined palms conceal the fact,
that guilt has long departed

they were filled with empty jewels
promises you failed to keep
refracting the guilt on fate,
you blame the stars
you love your son

so you stab the family photo
of strangers, fighting for
survival, just like you
drown my mother to keep
his alive

no? am i wrong to blame
you
instead of balls of fire
somewhere beyond the sky?

here you stand free,
in blue jeans burning
diamond daggers against my throat
clenched hands,
the one that pushed us to the edge

don't tell me why
don't lie

I know it was you.
