Let’s go home and get this over,
Before we push it all back,
At long last it's been said, what’s been hidden in your head,
Don’t shove it back down,
...

I slipped on the dewed felid
Caught myself with the skin of my heel
Trembling with a vigorous appetite,
My job just a plain average steerhide,
...

You were a friend of mine,
Since we were lads of nine,
Working side by side,
I loved you so,
...

I sold my meat,
To a quaint little couple,
They never paid me as much as they should,
Filled with rage and red hot anger,
...

I loved your curved little fingers,
But I loved them more on the trigger
And when I was done loving you,
All they found was a canine tooth,
...

I loved you so,
I loved you such,
Never thought I could love so much
My heart throbbed,
...

On the top of Hellshar Mountain,
I got my heart,
My heart broken,
And I died,
...

am slowly sinking,
Into my quintessence bindings,
To all that I am killing
Once loved about my own true self,
...

Society bends you to your will,
But no one said you had to obey,
Corporate predators going for the kill,
Blank checks and missing days,
...

I didn’t ask for much
Did I,
I don’t need too much,
Do I,
...

There is a breathing,
A crack in the day,
When the sky is turning pink,
And the hours melt away
...

As he breathes in the world breathes out,
A sigh of relief perhaps,
To assure everyone he still lives,
Or maybe it is to reassure me.
...

It's hard to remember yourself
with everyone else
staring at what your wearing
and counting what your worth
...

I click my pen.
Click. Click.
I lick my lips.
Lick. Lick.
...

The cuts open once again,
As she reaches to mix the blue with green,
The arch of her back,
Curve of her neck,
...

Everything you knew was wrong,
And anything you thought was right,
Numb the pain with smoke,
And drink away the night,
...

You don’t have me,
You can’t hold on,
I slip through the cracks,
Struck with frustration
...

Close your eyes
He whispers to her,
It will make it feel better,
She does but it still hurts,
...

Things should be better now,
Even though,
I don’t think they will be,
I know they won’t be,
...

When I was young,
I was followed everywhere I would go,
Blamed for advanced thinking,
Rebellion with snow,
...
