Of mint in miracles



I was thirsty
You gave me salt
I was hungry
You gave me wax
I was happy
You found a fault
I was innocent
You gave me a smack

You gave me vinegar, stones and TV
You gave me plastic bags in trees
You gave me quantam mechanical devices
Which I use to photograph my cheese
You gave me loss
I gave my life
You were the boss
I was your wife

You gave me dust and sand and chemicals
You gave me fear and pain and hate
You gave me stress and jip and aggro
You gave me chemical drugs to take
You gave me instagrams
To bathe in
Whilst you went and
Jumped in a lake

I was choking
You gave me smoke
I was lonely
You gave me booze
I was lost 
You gave me maps
I was only
One of your fools

You gave me tantalizing signals
Turned me on and off like gas
I was floating like the scent
Of mint in miracles
You had me broken
Like a pane of shattered glass

I was sleeping
And you bled me
I was weeping
And you laughed.
