What's Broke in Me
When still in my prime the well ran dry
Hiding from my lubricious lie
Chasing unchaste desires acting uncouth
Undisciplined throughout my jaunty youth
I spared the rod so carelessly
Yet my heart still beat relentlessly
Pumping full of silent screams
Flushing out forbidden dreams
Cells bursting that forever bleed
Denying love the seminal seed
My phallicy fell into the cracks of age
Spilling bloodied verse upon the page
There's nothing left to have and hold
In a dormant heart that embraces cold
Now only death can set me free
Cos there's no one to fix what's broke in me
Hiding from my lubricious lie
Chasing unchaste desires acting uncouth
Undisciplined throughout my jaunty youth
I spared the rod so carelessly
Yet my heart still beat relentlessly
Pumping full of silent screams
Flushing out forbidden dreams
Cells bursting that forever bleed
Denying love the seminal seed
My phallicy fell into the cracks of age
Spilling bloodied verse upon the page
There's nothing left to have and hold
In a dormant heart that embraces cold
Now only death can set me free
Cos there's no one to fix what's broke in me

Re. What's Broke in Me
To anyone intent on pointing out that I misspelled fallacy ~ phallicy, I will simply state I did it on purpose...

I enjoyed this piece although it brings a hint of sadness to watch time pass by and you look around and there is no one there besides you and if there was then that broken part would be repaired.... It's never too late I say as long as you are still breathing there is still a chance to meet that special someone that melts the heart and soothes the pain of yesterday's away.... Nice.
