Guts and Glory
Hung my guts out On a lonely fence To tan in the desert sun Placed my fears beneath your arms As you slept Defecated molten memories In the parking lot Of The Get Go Where you first said you loved me Rid myself of your falsities Evacuated those feelings There was a sunshine inside of you (or so I thought) Poured myself pitchers of it Drunk on your essence All I got were maggots in my mouth Eating away at the linings of my cheeks As I hocked pieces of my own flesh The air around me with a mist of my own blood I swallowed Almost aspirating Realized that I am the owner Of what’s left Of my insecurities Of my inconsistencies Of my guts Pride took over my disgust Your love may have disfigured me However, I remain Guts And Glory
