Licking Razor Blades

Licking Razor Blades

Too much time spent licking razor blades
Hanging with the prehistoric beasts 
Tearing rotten flesh
Foul...
Deep in the Everglades 

Lazy in the sullen swamp 
Forgetting the motion of the ocean 
The magic of the moonlit beach 
The rhythmic slapping of the cooling waves

Finally finding the right remedy 
Previously using the wrong lubrication 
Pouring parched dry Earth
Into rusted joints
Futile attempts at literate rebirth 

Yes... too much time 
Licking razor blades 
Suckig the last ink 
From the quill...

Crimson salt of a
Hedonistic lifestyle 
Sedative & stimulant addiction
The danger has lost its thrill

Being Me

You use such vivid metaphors that really work. The first two lines really draw the reader in. Easily deserves 5 stars but I wish I could give it more x
