Silent - The House Abandoned
Crazy move. Philippa back in my life. She hadn't meant to hurt me yesterday, she insisted at our hastily arranged meeting in the fields after the dress rehearsal. Aidan had emotionally blackmailed her. He'd managed to confuse her. Since then, she'd decided to end the relationship with Aidan for good because it kept going around in circles, and Aidan had already left for Exeter.
'Come on,' Philippa said, taking my arm and pulling me up from the tree trunk. 'I bought a torch with.'
It was about quarter to six in the afternoon. We located the outhouse, the one Jace and...

Sharding
Betrayal is a not so rare gem
a never precious stone
for those who like to own
others
Luring right from the start
coaxing out my heart
from her safe bosom
her safe place
Using a beautiful face
an oh still clever line
to dangle the bait
then merely wait
Somehow simply knowing
all that I do need
am willing to concede
to finally find true love
With all I am dream of
laid out now before me
everything that matters
...

Roasting Marshmallows on a Dumpster Fire
The bullshit that I keep coming back to
is your declaration
that you're going out in a blaze of glory
at the hands
of two of your favorite people
Sir, it's been a distinct dishonor
to witness this glorious
pile of ash and trash
you've left in your wake
To how many have you fed
that line about who has "more of you"?
What a wonderful consolation prize
Honestly, the thing I might like best
is how you left
dropping a sack of flaming shit

Pink Paupers
Satan is tsar
in the land of destiny
where poplars and birches
are plundered by the wind
for the burning cold
is an everlasting flame
whose blue yellows
prickle the spines
of the tattered lives
whose hopes crumple
in their empty hands
swollen with the dream
of paradise regained
where the lamb and the lion
lie peacefully together
but such are the illusions
of schizoid automatons
who never wake up
but are wound up

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

light
the air iced

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...

Eroticism of Violence
She tripped on someone’s bad idea
I suppose it hurt some
maybe she’ll let me taste the blood
and tickle the big guns
Shooting dope and wearing clown shoes
she falls on her big red nose
testifying that’s she’s dumb
behind the make up
She looks good wearing red
no need to kill her
but I might still
She slips on heels and eats some boots
so her teeth are bleeding
I want to strip away her veins
and drink pain from the flies
Malnutrition, I taste the bones
I still feel her on my tongue ...

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

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,

The halls.
Voices in the walls.
Eyes look back at me.
Yet no light can see.
The air releases, where now?
Time didn't heal me but neither did you.
There is a monster downstairs.
Look: you can see the tail.
Scratching and scraping;
The walls stand by.
Door after door,
More?
Some more.
My ears hurt. or maybe its my heart.
What I do know is the floor got smaller and the roof got bigger.
Why water?
Why do you look so grey,
Why do you look so black?
Why water?
Why do you creep toward my chest?
I...
