Platonic Effigy
Lord I wish I could burn
your platonic effigy
its not even
un-reasonable facsimile
yet you still wanna feel me
keep me hanging
a golden parachute
to lessen your suffering
all the while
oblivious to mine
no, not quite,
not oblivious
just ignoring
ignorant
and un-kind
banking on my character
my reticence to fight
you throw my own
Key Lime Piety
right back in my face
so sure I wont disgrace
common sense, logic, reason
for some petty display
of emotion that has no chance to sway
prior decisions made
preying on my inability
to join the fray
never above it
just not "of" it
you know I`ll stand,
sit, sleep silent
stoicly absorb the incision
of your Demon Trident
bleed internally
while you skip off
on your merry way
as you deposit the price
you swore I`d NEVER pay
take advantage of my maturity
wear me like Social Security
madame told ya bout men like me
all used up
I still got your back
as strong as yesterday
when you played with me
when you layed with me
when you lied to me

Pitch forks and torches!!!! Lead the Way!
I`ll stand,
sit, sleep silent
stoicly absorb the incision
of your Demon Trident
bleed internally
while you skip off
on your merry may
Now, I'm going to have to go get drunk!
