i followed the ambulance with its sirens on
they must have noticed you were gone.
so i made sure that they went the right way
the dead end street wasn’t far away..
you were at the end they’d come to find
they took out chalk and began drawing lines.
still on the cement, you lie there speaking
but only of your makeup and magazines.
boys hit you on the face and left their imprint
plastic does that at times upon impact.
just might be the prettiest girl in the classroom
but you’re dead inside it seems.
they took you out on a stretcher, shiny metal just like you are.
to a place that you’ve been, last time you tried to fit in
a c l a s s i c c a s e o f k i l l e r c o n f o r m i t y .
only poison quenches my thirst for sin,
i could never sip it slow.
a mannequin embodiment creeps in,
and we call this boy hugo.
jekyll and hyde will never meet,
as the story goes.
time consigned to oblivion,
black is all he knows.
beware of him, an infamous thief:
the plunder was my glow.
be scared of him reigning king of grief.
i’ll reap what he sows.
he waits for me in liquids
to posses the blood of the night.
an armored boy upon a horse,
faced with his fathers fight.
i’m waking up with bruises hugo,
i’ll never be a knight.
have you ever been so pale hugo?
please step into the light.
is this where you saw yourself,
in dreams before you’d grown?
the lights are on but no one’s home
are you lonely or /alone?
do you even care hugo..
you’re carving my name in stone?
