Just Words
---------------


Words drip on your page
then you press send
as they flow on a wire
my inbox their end


I read and I question
I read and I doubt
should I believe
the love that you spout


Or is it just bull shit
pseudo enriched
will I end up forsaken
because me you ditched


Do I take the chance
let you on in
a genuine guy?
or only after one thing


I shook off the doubt
trusted in you
swept away on the words
that you loved to spew


Gave you my heart
showed you my soul
my whispers that laved
made you feel whole


You soaked it all up
released so much
with only my breath
not my physical touch


I made you ache
in a beautiful way
made you yearn
with the things I say


Then everything stopped
with no reason or end
no words dripped on your page
you did not send


And so it was
the love you did spout
written to be questioned
loaded with doubt


You worthless nothing
gutless and weak
encompassed in misery
you chose not to speak

LIES

I'm tired of the lies
everyone lies
swimming in this sea of lies

I open my eyes-lies
I close my eyes-lies
even my dreams lie

I'm tired of this sea of lies
flooding my life
lies-flood of lies
flood of lies through my mind

everyone that opens there mouth lies
everyone in my life lies
everyone wears a disguise
a disguise of lies

I try to break down the disguise
all I get is more lies-lies and more lies
my mind can't handle all these lies
all these lies all the time

Tell me a lie

Tell me a lie
Tell me I'm useless
Tell me I'm a disgrace
Tell me I'm a mistake
Tell me I'm a screwed up mess
Tell me I never listen
Tell me you hate me
Tell me you love me
Tell me you don't want me
Tell me you can't live without me
Tell me you don't want my kiss
But that isn't true
Or is it?
I can't tell anymore
I can't decipher the truth from the lie
Tell me a lie

The Narcissist

She paces the floor
knows she's been outed
Takes a handfull of pills
Ponders the doubters

She can't let her win
this bain of her existence
Smiling as she wonders
If her ploy will meet resistance

She knows the truth
will be exposed
Best to quickly
decredit the source

Typing, dialing
Weaving the lies
Writing the plays
of her daughter's demise

Her little girl weeps
Unravels-
dies slowly

Thank's to mother's lies
The game is now over

An old one

Stronger

How did I get to this lonely place
Am I that much of a homely disgrace
I sit around here so fucking pathetic
Pointlessly waiting for you to be apologetic

Why bother trying to fool me with your lies
Your trickery brings me to so many cries
Why do I care, I already said it was over
I need to let you go so I can finally get some closure

Thank you for fucking up yet again
Reminding me my choice is not made in vane
I am no longer confused on my decision
I now own hind sight's 20/20 vision

All these years I thought I needed to change
My whole life for you I would rearrange
Now I see that you are the one to fault
So I am bringing this "marriage" to a screeching halt

I wish you the best of luck with your new life
Maybe it will be better without a loving wife
I hope we can stay civil for our three kids
Knowing you, that won't be where I put my bids

So pack your shit and get out of my face
You are no longer welcome in my new found space
I am fighting angry; sad I am no longer
Because of this, I am now even stronger

Why Lie?

You edit your words
Your ad-libs absurd
You tweak the truth
Never speak the truth
An impossible obstacle
A pathological
Liar by ritual
So damn habitual
No faith in honesty
Never learned the policy
One of your worst qualities
Where's my apology?
Answer the question
Weaving webs of deception
Caught up in your own thread
The consequence you dread
Everything you said
The lives you misled
Karma hit your head
The boomerang effect
What you give is what you get
It's a fact not a threat
You know the opposite of fiction
Constant contradictions
Thrown into the universe
I know the truth hurts
But still eventually
The truth will set you free
The audacity, the nerve
I really don't deserve
Lies so unjust
Increasing mistrust
Enough is enough
When will it stop
I'm tired of being a cop
Investigating a phony
With a false testimony
It's all bologna
Don't force me to eat
That's your special treat
The taste of deceit
That's so bittersweet
Keep playing games
Your pants will set to flames
And in addition
Your very poor decisions
Fueled by ambition
Used as ammunition
To gun me down bang bang
Will leave you to hang
By the thread of your own web
What a goddamn shame

I understand the drug issues, I do
become addicting, like the lies you spew
Isn't it funny how you keep writing the same lines i do
and i know you know that i know you do, so you reline a few,
Oh was that line confusing you?
Should I rewrite it to something you could use?
 
Such petty simplicity,
and you sadly sold your soul to the devil in secrecy
For just a chance, with some dark and twisted nobility
But you ended up stealing her fucking idiosyncrasy
 
Pitter Patter,
I wonder how many schemes
I can manage,
But don't forget
I am the Mad Hatter,
You're just a whore in a hat
and I wouldn't care
if your fucking blood splattered
 
It may seem immature
but im a Taurus and you cancer
If people asked where you got your inspiration
You'd lie but I know im the answer
 
Ill put down my pen now,
I got other shit to do
I just wanted to remind them
I'll always be better than you

Lets Lie to Each Other (old poem)

Hey, I'll say I'm fine.
It's okay, it's just a lie.
I learned from you,
Best of the best.
You've lied to me again.

The disappointment cracks me up,
Inside I'm falling apart-
Outside, it's a lie.
What you've taught me,
Is what I know how to do.
Lie, lie, lie to you.
To me.
To everybody.

I'm just fine.

I'm just fine.
Love you too.
Miss you, yes.
See you soon?

Just another lie.
That I tell you,
And you tell me.

Love you...

how   to    lose   your    love
           
 
so we decided to meet    
 
lufthansa flight    
eighteen hour midair    
chaos    
 
loss of sleep    
and goods    
 
onset of impatience    
and self doubt    
 
greyhound station    
seven hours of    
silence    
more doubt    
fatigue    
jet lag    
 
half away across    
the world    
 
torrential rain    
of the west    
hotdog    
grilled chicken    
 
indian delivery guy    
exchange of    
smiles and    
hand shakes    
 
latest copy    
of debonair    
sneaked in    
quietly    
 
free of cost    
 
more of

waiting rain impatience    
 
finally i get thru    
hear your voice    
 
not what i would    
expect if someone    
had traveled    
from a 14 hour    
time difference    
 
buddha is right    
must not expect    
 
i get told there    
has been a storm and it will    
be there for some time    
 
the line gets disconnected    
 
i call some people and    
check the news    
 
no storms in your area    
 
your facebook is not    
accessible and there    
is dead line every    
time i call your    
landline    
 
$80 a night motel    
hbo bath pool bar    
 
three bottles of    
jack daniels    
 
seven hours of    
getting up from caked vomit    
pouring booze over knuckles    
screaming tearing up    
 
and i had given someone    
a dressing down for    
calling me a crazy fucker    
 
damn right    
 
the manager sends across    
an $300 escort    
a dresden doll    
 
she asks me if i    
have rubber    
lube funny things
 
her name is lenna    
she is  a year younger    
than me  
 
shaved    
facial fine  
but no hard stuff    
 
i pull her down    
she chokes me in    
between silicone plates    
 
i go at it for a while    
her rhythmic gasps    
bore me to death    
 
she claws my ass    
i give it hard    
she shudders    
yelps  
 
home run    
 
go at it for some more    
and some more    
 
she shudders again    
aah aah ohh oooh    
jesusfuck whatnot    
 
kisses me    
full of love    
a different kind    
than whats got me    
here    
   
and some more    
claws some more    
bites her lips    
fingers herself    
 
disgusting    
 
finally get down    
 
she gets to work in no time    
starts to make sounds    
all kinds    
 
i get close  
 
finally i feel it    
 
the tears burst out of me    
 
moments later watch lena    
leave with my wallet    
that has the only photograph    
of her inside    
 
goodbye lena    
goodbye stranger    
goodbye love    
 
hours dont wait up    
they keep going    
 
finally i get up      
a swig of jack daniels    
 
hello debonair      
damn beauty    
 
sigh
