He destilled his pain repetitively.
It might have read pen.
He had scratched that out.
He distilled his pain...
He distilled his pain...
There was no point.
Just a dull throb...
Was there no way to rub that out?
Just pain,
Which kept him up,
And she let it drop.
No borrowed blades.
No resumption.
No conclusion.

No beating about the bush,
Dorothy,
Don't you go and dress it up now.
Only colour,
Only colour,
Will do.
