Come and wash away this time.
Come quickly and forget my hopes.
Take back my hasty smiles and wishes -
Forget i had a name for love at all.
Drown sorrows so they are unknown.
Clean reality from my virgin's sheets.
Unstitch a million dreams i laid down -
Pound me back to my content misery.
Cry like the heavens do now, for darkness.
Scorn well-meaning kisses at their source.
Gasp smokers' wheeling fortune -
Pray tomorrow the tumour spreads.
Burn out your wits and immunities.
Refuse sleep and strength as you do happiness.
Play yourself the clown in daily life -
Weep when others cannot see.
