What happened?
I'm not telling the truth -
I'll lie til i die. I'm ok!
I can deal with it.
The truth never happened.
The truth lurks close...
but I'll grab that fucking truth...
and strangled it and bury it!
I don't want you around truth!!!
The lie grins - knowing we are...
crafting a story to decieve.
I'll walk with Satan...
...come what may.
Whispers of non-believers...
FUCK THEM!
You can't unmask my lie!
The truth is done! It's dead!
Standing firm!!! I have my reasons...
My reasons. The lie...
I'll lie til i die. I'm ok!
I can deal with it.
The truth never happened.
The truth lurks close...
but I'll grab that fucking truth...
and strangled it and bury it!
I don't want you around truth!!!
The lie grins - knowing we are...
crafting a story to decieve.
I'll walk with Satan...
...come what may.
Whispers of non-believers...
FUCK THEM!
You can't unmask my lie!
The truth is done! It's dead!
Standing firm!!! I have my reasons...
My reasons. The lie...

Father & Son
The boy hid under his bed when he would hear his father come into the house
A large, hairy, burly man, who has a problem with his hands
Almost every night he comes home drunk
The father would come into the boy's room, wake him up and begin taunting him
His dad would begin touching him inappropriately
He made sure that his boy would touch him back
The father would tell the boy that he's his favorite, even though he's an only child
The boy is kissed violently
He can taste the liquor his father's been drinking
If it's something the boy likes, he...

A Lullaby in January or A Portrait of Sisterhood
I’m in first grade and the bus drops me off at the bottom of our steep driveway. Jamie waits for me at the top. She has forgotten her house key in her locker at school.
There is ice and snow on the ground, and it will be dark soon. She holds my hand to walk through a patch of woods to the neighbor’s house to use their phone to call Papa.
III
It’s brown powder with tap water sitting in a plastic cap. I don’t know what I expected, but I guess not that. I thought poison would look more alchemic, like a simmering cauldron of black ink.
Jamie...

So just don't think
Prince Charming was dragged
4 city blocks by his dick
Decaying behind blood & urine colored glass
Skid marks are vibrant with the city lights shining down
She never moved an inch
What did you think she was going to do?
She was only taught on how to survive
Cruelty is all in her mind
So just don't think
That's what she did
Every single day
She told a close friend a few days ago
If she gets enough courage, she'll seek her revenge
4 city blocks by his dick
Decaying behind blood & urine colored glass
Skid marks are vibrant with the city lights shining down
She never moved an inch
What did you think she was going to do?
She was only taught on how to survive
Cruelty is all in her mind
So just don't think
That's what she did
Every single day
She told a close friend a few days ago
If she gets enough courage, she'll seek her revenge

The Coming
Yelling cursing, noise level terror
Then he hits her
She cries
Things get quiet, then it starts again
Locked in his room, the boy sits on the floor next to his bed
That's the place he goes when they go at it
Mother & Alien, this man/boyfriend
This thing that watches TV or it's i-phone and drinks long cans of malt liquor in the dark
Sometimes the Alien is there when his mother isn't
The Alien doesn't speak
The Alien drinks, beats mother & watches TV
The boy knows that he's lucky the Alien doesn't beat on him
Other Aliens have...

Venomous Kiss Of His Fists
In lieu of a kiss, he used his fist
Felt that she dissed and he got pissed
Used his palms in lieu of a charm
Strangled, she couldn't raise her arms
Recited Psalms then said goodbye
Reached the finale of blackened eyes
She chose the wrong guy for a mate
Hindsight's 20/20; a twisted fate
Felt that she dissed and he got pissed
Used his palms in lieu of a charm
Strangled, she couldn't raise her arms
Recited Psalms then said goodbye
Reached the finale of blackened eyes
She chose the wrong guy for a mate
Hindsight's 20/20; a twisted fate

So Many Concerns
Made a lane change in the argument
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns
Slight miscalculation of what was said
Saw the fist making it’s usual descent
Punches connected like bolts of dread
Rage always seems to claim her face
Light is eclipsed in transforming eyes
The calm before the darkest embrace
When she removes her normal disguise
Soon all the anger will go into remission
Ride out the storm until reason returns
Knowing how to remedy this condition
Her love comes with so many concerns

Bandaids
Time
It comes and it goes
Something’s aren’t meant to last forever
What started off as I love you
Slowly turned to I hate you
Or maybe I hate myself
For loving you so much
You’ve torn me down and broken me
For that I should be grateful
Or so you remind me
I deserved it it’s all my fault
Or so you remind me
You stripped me of my pride
You stripped me of my dignity
And between the bruises
I love yous meant like bandaids
But they don’t band do they
And through it all
My...

A boy and a gun
She came home from her job
Not a great job, but a job
Her husband has been unemployed for 3 years
Says he's looking for the right job to make a name for himself
They don't have enough money to feed themselves and their 8 year old son
They live in a one room apartment that has a horrible smell coming from the ceiling and the side wall near the closet
They all share the same bed
Mom sleeps in the middle since the boys father has been known to touch him inappropriately
There were numerous verbal & physical fights in the apartment
It was usually...

Love Shouldn't Hurt
I'll handle with care
Other hands have damaged you
Put your trust in me
Other hands have damaged you
Put your trust in me
