Relaxed and amused
As you screw up your life,
As you sink in your quicksand
And don't know who to call for help.
I smile,
I watch
As you slash
Your name onto your arm
Then watch as the blood runs
And covers it up
Like it has gone forever
Like you hope to.
I laugh.
I enjoy your distress
At being you.
At least I'll never have to live
Like you do.
It'll never happen to me.
I'm too good for that.
Drown in your quicksand.
You're no concern of mine.
Die quickly will you?
My smile is fading.
