Maya Raskina Poems

Lived my life ten miles per hour.
Steering clear of deep potholes.
Feeling fallen, feeling sour.
All that glitters isn't gold.
...

I could get used to cranberry champagne,
And sparkling-water waterfalls and roses,
But I won't last a single day if you decide to go away.
My worries multiply, my greatest fear exposes.
...

The leading lady looks me in the eye, she sings.
Her flowery attire blends perfectly into the evening scene.
Pour me a glass of wine, tonight it is the only thing to believe in.
That girl, she used to be my queen.
...

Cocktails of notes - a perfect combination for the night.
I don't want to escape no more. I made a promise to the purple lights.
I made a promise to myself. I made a promise to the queen of sounds.
I made a promise to the lady of the band.
...

If you want to poison me, I will give you mercury,
Watch you draw the last breath out of me,
Watch you stab me, let you burn me mercilessly.
I will give you words to rip my heart in pieces,
...
