Slim Jim Poems

My heart is cut open by the lies of a thousand knives
Blood pools around it and floods over the sides
Who am I kidding
With this life unforgiving
...

The shadow of my time
Keeps every thing in line
I Know that it's not real
But this is how I feel
...

The screams and whispers, all go away
The silence is finally here to stay
The long nights we stayed up
And never even drank from the cup
...

My life's a high speed chase
I'm never going to win the race
Every where I go, every day every place
This time clock keeps ticking in my face
...

I was always there for you, a shoulder you could cry on
A friend you'd rely on
And it's a shame I couldn't see
That you were never there for me
...

My beauty a far
I have let you go
I have sealed shut my doors
And left you in the snow
...

I'm coming to take your life away
I'm coming back so you can't stay
I'm coming back to town,
If you want to live don't stick around.
...

A young girls mother
Was talking to her father
Who had finally broke down and cried
The night that grandpa died
...

These are my clouds of gray,
I've called them out here today,
You're the reason
I keep drinking
...

I was searching for a cloud high and full of rain,
I was by myself going against the grain,
Searching for the sun that hides behind each day,
Searching for a reason and the right words to say.
