I hate you
I wish to tear you away from me
This tumor that clings to my chest
The thing that makes me ache
...
When I look up at the sky on a stormy night
I do not see stars
Yet I know they are there
They remind me that the night is not so dark
...
You were very stupid
To leave all your hopes with cupid
Love has never really been your game
It’s always left you blind, broke, and lame
...
Where is my master, my dear master
Where is my Shepard, whom I call
Where is my father, who once comforted me
Who made my steps righteous
...
I have gained an obsession with hell
Since I was caught in your scarlet spell
An eternity in your fire
Is less hurtful than going higher
...
I once dreamed of a woman
Her beauty radiant
Her voice to me was like breath
And I hungered for her approval
...
Good morning lovely
I hope that you're well
I know you feel lonely
But when you smile I can't tell
...
Duties
I was given these at birth
I did not question them
They came easily to me
...
Why a kiss
Why did we choose the simple touching of flesh
Why is it we chose to risk some sickly infection to show our affection
Why is it we chose to pucker our lips like a child as it feeds on the breast
...
Hugs and kisses for everyone
Then I walk away like a prodigal son
Left to wander the rest of my days
As we go our different ways
...
