a moron mercury

infamous but 

infallible ink 

said, "i love you"

at least a thousand times 

better than how this 

town fabricated light

all around you,

          " your ignited ions,

           negligible patience,

           lost joy of teenage,

           some falsified cliche,

           your so-called friends,

           such cowardly saints,

           at the end of the day,

           you wanted someone 

           to stay anyway,

           i was always running 

           to home, away from home,

           my clock was stuck at

           3:33, signalling there's a 

           place that people talk 

           about and call Rome,

           at the end of the day,

           i was stupid, just sitting 

           to wait in the hallway, "

but wait, what if i 

erase everything 

i've written about you,

will it be the point 

when a good girl 

feels no shame 

and guilt to hate her

favourite person? 

i think it's that point,

a point, picturizing

gulfs, good grief, 

and grudge i am 

about to throw on 

you, as writing on 

you is what makes me

now bone-cut blue,

a moron mercury,

an iron-clad lady,

what the fuck,

should it even be called 

the alchemy?
