Acid Mary ~ poem

Lovely boys and lovelier girls 

Hand in hand 

I watch them from this windpane 

See them walking in the sun 

Oh sweet summer sun 

Shining down on them 

And perfect skin 

I turn away 

Anger and pain 

It eats at me 

Like Virgin Mary's 

In acid rains 

If I could only be like one 

Who walks even alone 

In summer sun 

Without family disease 

Without the disgrace 

I could be whole complete 

Or I could just a find a way 

To be me 

Truly me 

For I've never known 

Or been able to try 

The skeletons whisper to me 

To turn away 

From lying light 

You can never be like them 

You can never be someone 

You can only be a spectre soul

Staring out from dirty panes 

Hiding your eyes behind the lace 

When Earth's good children 

Glance your face 

You'll never be loved 

At least not in daylight 

Come back to us

Drink of the darkness 

Kiss the sins 

That keep where we are 

Let wonder 

Let them doubt 

Let them make their rumours all 

Nothing they can knit or spin 

Could defame you worse 

Than what you were cursed to be 

Upon the day of your birth 

I turn my back away from light 

And retreating thus into damnation 

Honorable daylight pity me 

For what in darkness 

Cannot be seen
