Not in my head

Poets gossip with the most flair  

But they also feel with the most feeling 

And ache with the most burning  


Nobody broods like a poet broods 

Alone when left to their own feelings

Or hate with self-loathing 


The kind that leaves skin indented 

Clawed by tips bleeding 

From clenched jaws ridden with haunting


Nobody hates the golden girl

Loyalty lies where blood is drawn 

Foolish girl. Foolish girl.
