Tirade Against An Imaginary Enemy

Your time shall end when I regret
this falsehood, this friendship into the years.
All this time you plotted to destroy me.
Make me take pills set out to take away
my mind, my cares, my life.

I see you watching. (x 4)

The world shall end when I forget.
Like God set upon the land to kill - by storm,
disease, famine and war -
I hold the key to your demise.

Hate to say "I told you so," but I'm still here, alive. (x 3)

 

Feeding the Sharks

Drowning in your own words.
Blood in the water.

Feeding

Your thrashing only excites the school.
Defend yourself or be torn apart.

Feeding (x 2)

Try to keep your head above water,
but just trying to keep your head is hard enough.

 

Plague

A little disease never killed anyone. Has it?
Obsessive compulsive, or just set in my ways?

Sterilized society. (x 4)

Keep away.
Your unclean.
Must wash hands.

 

Señor Bueno vs. Mr. Fistface

I can feel you in me,
destroying my stability.
More pain than anyone should bare.
Some people are like tumors, psychic vampires,
trying to take us from this world.

I will not calm.
I won't calm down.

You know their name. Fistfaces always play the game.
They know better, but they keep getting in your face.

Everything taste the same, when revenge is on your mind.
When vengeance has been dealt, the palate opens wide.
Relief. I'll take you out next breath.

 

All I Have Is My Shadow

Friends dead and turned to ashes,
I miss you more as time passes.
This requiem is to remember you today,
thought it still hurts me to think you're away.

While you're away
may flowers spring from your grave.

Oh chorus of viewers
live not for others,
but with and together.

I have loves, memories, ideas, ego and a shadow.
Some days I feel all I have is my shadow.
Night comes. Will I be alone?

Time will tell
if I'll ever see you again.
We'll all pass that road,
forever remaining friends.
So let me know what's beyond.

 

Tacitus

"Pray to gods our weakness may not fail,
though fears of being great still fill my veins."
Men become wiser day by day,
and our dreams go so by and by.

Reborn through blood and toil, only to dredge forward.
Onward!
To where beyond this voice there is only struggle.
Ever forward!
Onward!

How fortunate for me, not only by your trials of life, but in the timing of your death,
all your tricks are exposed.

 

Whoremonger! (x 2)

Your happiness doesn't mean a thing to me.
Show me that you love and I'll make you suffer.

Cry for me.
Say you'll die for me.
Do this one thing for me,
as I destroy everything in your life
and all that you hold dear.

Why do you look so surprised?
Back of my hand to your face.
Fingers dig deep into your skin.
You become mine, again and again.

Thank you
for letting me put you
through all of this.

 

…has Gone

Remembered as deep as sounds of fist against skin.
And as sweet as kisses when we awoke together.
Lips that are now with another, deep as love.
Wild with all regret to those days that are no more.

These thoughts of Hell were never in my mind.
The night wakes what should be rested,
and I realize, everything that I hold dear
…has gone.

Piss drunk.
Outside your door.
Foolish attempt at romance.
I should just go home.

 

A Poem of Love and Death for Someone Whom I Love, but Must Die

She is my angel.
I wish her eternal dreams.
I must slaughter her.

Head.
Kick.
Fear.
Broken Arm. Trial.
Pissed.
Hate.
Restraining order? Trash.
Knife.
Wound.
Spill your insides out.

Schizophrenic haiku
for she who
is like the lillies of the field.

I curse these bloodstains on the floor.
I curse the bloodstains on the floor.

Ever in my heart.
She means so much to me.
I'll bathe in her blood!

 

Dead Man Weeping

Do I miss her? I think I do.

Was it worth it?
Ask me if my last meal any good.
I'm only sorry no one's called.
But I don't worry, it'll be over soon.

I smell smoke.
