Scars without the pain
I'm fucking her, no I'm killing her, no I'm fucking her
When I fuck her, I want to kill her
The way she makes me feel
So small
When I fall out of her and she laughs in my face
That's when I want to kill her
I want to make her understand that she can't do that to me
I'm not small
I'm big
The biggest
I want to fuck her & kill her all the time
I want it all
I know she fucks around on me all the time in an attempt to weaken me
She laughs in my face
and tells me she needs a real man
I want to kill her to stop the...

Darkshine
disturbed by the silence
I entertain the noise
greeting me in the night
shadows grim of thought
reach out to touch me
I let them cross my threshold
it is desire that provokes me
I ache in the dark shine
listless my energy leeched from me by raw emotions
it pours from my soul into a dark maw
where it regains strength and turns on me its creator
lust of a garish nature
fully stimulated passion
corrupts my thinking
I sink into the shade and grieve
it isn't what I want
I would rather stay...

Empty
Im so empty inside
I feel fucking hollow
Like Ive been gutted
Finding it hard to swallow
Staring at the wall
For hours on end
Ive given up
I cant even pretend
Theres a weight of nothing
Deep in my chest
My heart is dead
My head is stressed
The future holds nothing
My past holds me down
Stuck in between
Are the tears of a clown
Why cant I get right?
Why am I stuck?
Why do I cling to the dark?
Why cant I give a fuck?
Why can't I give a fuck?
I hate...

Love's Madness
I don't want to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go

ALIVE BUT EMPTY
REALITY
It's about the same,
hour after hour,
day after day,
the emptiness of
my routine world.
I leave my house empty,
I walk the empty streets
and arrive at my empty office.
My work produces empty
and redundant yes answers.
At lunchtime I sit in
the cafe filled with empty people
stuffing empty calories.
As I walk home I see
a hearse with a body
with an empty future.
At night I gaze at the heavens but
only see the empty space.
BUT
above all I am alive
but EMPTY without
YOU in...

Gray
The day was an array of gray.
I walk forth confronted by
smokey gray clouds.
Must be the exhaust from burnout dreams.
And the vast ivory gray clouds,
paints the empty blankness I feel.
The leaden gray clouds are the steel color
of my robotic bones.
But behold, voluptuous violet gray
swath the horizon.
Blissfully violating my veins with beauty.
Even in times of deepest gray,
the beauty in life will not lead you astray.

Loving you was like going to war

His loving words
still warm me
his altered

life a 7 out of 10
can’t you see it’s
just worth a 3?”

insane satisfaction
crazy connection

genie in a bottle...flipside
world at my fingers
struggling to see clearly
it's a sweats & braids kinda day
feeling a little deflated
a bit like vapor
trying to decide
whether to fight
or fade
not committed
to either
do not rub
out of order

THE LONELY ONE
The lonely person often walks unnoticed
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.
Loneliness has its very own...
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.

When all else fails I go back to art …
Things have been a push lately
November always hits me hard
It’s then I go back to basics
A craft I call home ….

Without coffee or remorse
I like cops and married women for
the same reasons:
They’re pissed at the world,
they fuck fast
and they
keep their
mouths shut.
So I texted a cop
I’d once done a ride-along with,
because while
I read porn,
my husband
and our girlfriend
talked about
baby names.
It punched a hole
in me.
Something gaping
and ugly.
And I wanted to fill it.
With you.
With you.
I wanted to feel all that
tension,
that heat
that...
