Serotonin
December 18, 2015
Gnaw on the bones protruding from my skin,
release your inner animal, and maybe you'll love again.
Break the chains of social constraint,
to spend the night in the wrinkles of my brain.
Forget your past life,
we'll walk through the stars just to bruise the night.
Tell stories to the books on your shelf about how the lack of serotonin is Hell,
simply because you think you have no one else.
