Black magic

You've dipped your tongue deep into my sorrows and said –

"this would go well with fries, 

KFC should make a sauce out of your sadness,

I'm sure they'd hit the jackpot"

and I think it's funny that

you're always thinking about hitting the jackpot,

as if it wasn't enough for you

to win just by being born,

haven't you heard that lightning

doesn't strike twice?

It's surreal to watch you

turn this mountain that 

has been resting on my shoulders

into pebbles, 

just by touching it with your fingers –

I believe this is the kind of magic 

that caused the burning of the witches

and your desire to devour all of my grief

should be the definition of greed

in every dictionary.

It should be forbidden to try saving someone

who is not ready to save himself.

You cannot sentence someone to live

the life that they deserve,

believe me, I tried.

Easy they come, easy they go

I jump from the train, I ride off alone

I never grew up, it's getting so old

Help me hold onto you.
