Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

Lighthouse

I wish this dingy skin to be peel-able.
I wish to shed these emotions,
Beat them upon a rock and clean them up.

I am marble in appearance,
A stone cold figure broken in half.

The cancerous regret poisons my blood,
Spreads through my veins and
I claw away the itchiness of disease.

My blood spills red, not azure,
As it pumps from the mouth of a wound.

I stand like a beacon;
A lighthouse guiding ships but disappearing
Before they've made it to shore.
