Temporary Relief Date: Sunday, 7th December 2014 @ 07:24:58 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: deadreckoning1983 I have never been one to turn up my nose When it's free. When she is so eager, Wet for adventure. But it is going to have to wait Until they all get their pound of flesh. There is a litany of new conspirators, Waiting to tear me down. Some will ruin you financially, And others will do it sexually. There isn't enough penance To replace the pain. Pleasure came fleeting And now it sits waiting to carve. Taking its payment, blood money. Only the salvation of a saline baptism Resides with me now. Pleasure came fleeting. I wish it would come back. Temporary relief is better than none.
