I know I'll regret this <br />I already am <br />Disappointment is the red paint <br />Anger is the yellow <br />Sadness, blue <br />Terror and jealousy, vibrant turquoise. <br />Together, bright. <br />They get attention <br />Add something <br />that will heal. <br />if you mix them together <br />it makes a terrifying <br />disgusting <br />ugly <br />mix of pains <br />and paint. <br />pour the paint of pain <br />into the vat of liquid concrete <br />inject it with a dull <br />bloody needle <br />into my veins <br />and you can watch <br />as the sludge barely moves <br />snaking through the little blue threads <br />until my heart <br />stops.<br /><br />Claire Lang<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sludge/
