Frost
I stopped
at the
gas
light
the air iced
in my lungs
as you
wished me
felicitations,
stuck
two desperate
fingers in
my drying
cunt
and tried to
force-fuck
more bullshit
in my head
I would feel
relief
if the ice on
my cheeks
hadn’t
frozen
solid
at the
gas
light
the air iced
in my lungs
as you
wished me
felicitations,
stuck
two desperate
fingers in
my drying
cunt
and tried to
force-fuck
more bullshit
in my head
I would feel
relief
if the ice on
my cheeks
hadn’t
frozen
solid

I control you
I'm Jesus Fucking Christ
Bow down to the almighty one
You'll feel better about yourself
You need to be cleansed
Your soul is dirty
Your mind is filthy
You need me
You need something to cling to
You need something to strengthen you
PUNISHMENT!
You love punishment
It makes you feel like you're doing something right
Without constant pain you feel guilty
I know you're weak
You love pain
I know a lot about pain
I use it as a weapon against you
One of my favorite things is to make a man die while he's...

A good blow for a day job
The guy at the counter said that he had gotten the job
He was to go downstairs and meet the boss, get his apron and get briefed on the rules and regulations of the restaurant
He went downstairs to meet his boss
He walked to the threshold of the door and knocked gently
The boss looked up from the desk and told him to come in and sit down
He asked him how bad he wanted the job
He told him that he really likes the place and he thought that he could really...
The boss cut me off and asked me what he can do to get the job
He didn't know what he meant ...

Domesticated
So he hurts her some more, then slams out the door... hell be back in an hour or 2.
And as the car drives away, what left there to say... its not like this is anything new.
So she climbs in her bed and she buries her head .. it seems this while life's been in vain.
And its so much to bear just to lie alone there,
As the tears fall steady like rain.
In her mind she keeps thinking, how low she's been sinking...
But her whole life she's felt such abuse.
She could pack a few things, leave a note and her ring..
But she knows there's really no use. ...

You think you're in control, think again
People don't play games, games play people
Like someone once said to me,
"Whatever game you're playing is the game you're playing with you"
Like someone once said to me,
"Whatever game you're playing is the game you're playing with you"

No Rings or Fuss
Where do I go for love?
I have so much to give
But so much has been taken away
Still feel the heat from your touch
Your actions, your words I need to forgive.
You played me like a toy
Trained me like a dog
Did you ever love me or was it a thrill?
You watched me cry and walked away
I hope to one day wake out of this fog.
Men like you are a dime or two
You don't see the value in us
So easy to play and never be bored
Touch our hearts and hate our minds
Shake us up with no rings or fuss.
I have so much to give
But so much has been taken away
Still feel the heat from your touch
Your actions, your words I need to forgive.
You played me like a toy
Trained me like a dog
Did you ever love me or was it a thrill?
You watched me cry and walked away
I hope to one day wake out of this fog.
Men like you are a dime or two
You don't see the value in us
So easy to play and never be bored
Touch our hearts and hate our minds
Shake us up with no rings or fuss.

A Warning
If you value your life
Do not venture here
If you have hopes and dreams
Best not get too near
All the broken spirits
That lay in my wake
Are the warning of a journey
You don't want to take
Each one a victim
Fallen prey to my trap
Luring them in
For their energy to sap
Feeding off the light
That I lack inside
Til I bleed them dry
Then toss them aside
Parasitic in nature
My darkness consumes
The light, I move on
And the leeching resumes
Everlasting hunger ...
Do not venture here
If you have hopes and dreams
Best not get too near
All the broken spirits
That lay in my wake
Are the warning of a journey
You don't want to take
Each one a victim
Fallen prey to my trap
Luring them in
For their energy to sap
Feeding off the light
That I lack inside
Til I bleed them dry
Then toss them aside
Parasitic in nature
My darkness consumes
The light, I move on
And the leeching resumes
Everlasting hunger ...

The Yes Man
They all have a habit of gliding in so slyly
Post three coffee Yetis with ideas grandeur
Pre ten ante meridiem press conference
It's their eyes, that silence before speaking
Two faced distortions and slight contortions
Movements sniffley, syntheticy, hesitant
What will I say? What will I do? What wont I?
Looking for my eyes, I make sure they see
War crimes. Excessive nuking. Blood lust.
The void forces their quick recalculations
And so concludes this silent bargain
A deal, neither good nor bad, just that
Just business,...

Origami
What I remember most
are your delicate
fingers
creasing the edges,
folding and turning,
twisting and shaping
the everything of
anything you
touch
into all the different
creatures of
creation
until finally and at last,
I rest warm in your
empathetic palm,
panting and thumping,
dripping with your
immaculate essence,
almost as beautiful
and imaginative
as you.
Then,
with your angular jaw
and your intimate lines,
you released me
like a...

Ill take the blame
Ready to do the time
For a crime that isn't mine
Ill be fine
Ive spent many years confined
In a prison of my design
In my mind
The bleakest place youll find
The warden is most unkind
The verdict signed
Play out my failures then rewind
Want me to plead innocent I decline
Suffering is divine
Savor it like fine wine
To this sentence I resign
Pearls before swine
Wanna save me stop trying
You don't care so stop lying
No more crying
You're free as a bird so start flying
Your narrative...
For a crime that isn't mine

Today
Oh what drab, colorless roils drape the sky
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...
As the sky, ashen, grey faced the sun
Clouds billowing
Spread out as tho' to compass all
The sun, the moon, and stars do hide
Those lamps of heavens reaffirming light
Tho' not darkest all -
Not as dark as familiar men's souls
Now conspiracy and conceit do creep
As knavery, treachery, like the worm doth crawl
Burrowing archly in soft rot
Not as men who on stout legs stand
Thin voices hiss the birthing of death
So discourse this discordant band
Full of hubris and cold...

Disdain for you my sweet
Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
