23. Gold Plated

I never (don’t say it) I never
had ever hoped to be without you like
I am now. You, sitting high with your God
Praising praises and good works (mother, do not encourage this)
and shit. All of it. You can have my empire of dirt and mud,
because you are so sure what you believe. Everything that was
fed to us (with a silver spoon, do not be unaware of that). So
positive of the mythology (and it’s all mythology) are you.
I want the girl who cursed. I want the girl strung out on conspiracy theories.
I’ll take the demons. I want them. Give them to me.
I want the girl with the darkness before it consumed
her and turned her into a golden plated hypocrite.

    Nice image of a not-nice person and yearning for somebody gritty but real.

    I want the girl who cursed. I want the girl strung out on conspiracy theories.

    I want the girl with the darkness before it consumed
    her and turned her into a golden plated hypocrite.
