Looking for love anywhere I can get it, From street corners to the alley ways, I bare all to anyone who pays attention, Yet I come up empty every single night. Too weary to walk and too proud to sit, Degradation is the extent of my days, These are the doldrums that do men in, […]
Running away like you’ll never get caught, It’s how you choose to deal with problems, There are some footsteps you cannot cover, I’ll always know exactly where to find you. When the sun sets it will all be for naught, Only you have to go to sleep with your sins, And you will wake up […]
Beneath all the wreckage and the flames, And inside of the giant crack in the Earth, There’s a million carcasses slowly decaying, As an evil God reaps his burnt offerings. Inside children’s cribs are the blood stains, Where rats and vultures got to them first, Maggot infested eyes witness the slaying, Their dead bodies refuse […]
A young boy lost in a heavy snow, Family abandoned him miles behind, Stuck here alone and nearly blind, The present his God has bestowed, Is no direction and nowhere to go, His God gives him no hopeful sign, These are times meant to define, Lives of the peasants down below. A crap shoot in […]
So hungry, but too proud to beg, Even if I did you’d spit in my face. I never asked for a pseudo savior, But you just keep walking anyhow. On the sidewalk, this is my last leg, All I’ve done until now is a waste, I have been on my best behavior, What do I […]
Every once in a while I envision, That I’m just quietly sitting here, As someone is staring me down, With a sniper rifle and a scope, And I’m a split second decision, From an ounce of lead in my ear. Perched in a tree without a sound, He pulls the photo out of his coat, […]
Long dead souls roam, Aimlessly in skeletons, Their eyes are open, They take in nothing. The lack of compassion, Feeds this depression. The blood and organs, Are merely a stuffing, Waiting for maggots, To pick at the remains, Even your fucking God, Doesn’t want to taste. They all shake my hand, Like it causes them […]
My head is hung down in shame again, I know you’re fucking sick of hearing it, And I’m tired of burdening my friends, They’re supposed to be my reason to live. In a perfect world there would be no me, Then everything could revolve around you. That’s the meaning of perfect apparently, I only hurt […]
A ghost in the fog creeps to my front door, Slipping through the cracks into my room, Waking up unexpectedly, and oh so soon, To the patter of baby’s feet on the floor. I find the loaded pistol in my top drawer, Only by the guiding light of the full moon, I shoot twice and […]
V. The Open Door Grabbing onto his hand like a child, Too young to know left from right, Not sure if I am okay or in denial, A snap of his fingers brings new light. I feel like I’m falling from a cliff, Only the air would hear my scream, Falling so far that I […]
