Streets painted with love Now stained with blood Allah, the all loving Has taught nothing but kindness His love hates the blood under your nails His love is benevolent His love is TERRORISM BECAUSE OF YOU Any news is good news for satin The Devil's name flashing across or television screens "Islamic State claims attacks on Paris" ******** You tarnish the name of peaceful worshippers You ruined refugees chances at a better life More lives will be lost at the hands of racists BECAUSE OF YOU This attack on the west has done nothing for Allah But hurt his followers And hurt their families Satin's satire stained the streets of love forever

Pray for Paris
She rises as everyone falls Her white complexion pristine as always Men have fought for her pale face Yet, when faced with her dark side, they cry in horror A beautiful outsider She wanders alone in the stars Her wonder intimidates Her grace frightens Her love kills Under her glow men commit ****** and monsters come out to play Around every corner satin's satire drips of the tongue of ****** Adultery runs rampant Respectable ties exchanged for leashes of pleasure And briefcases for whips   He sleeps in a long sleeve shirt to hide the lashes Dinner was cold when he got home But he forgave. At church The cross burns a whole in his forehead His lips slightly stained from last night Mind not on the sermon, but on his next excuse How can he admit to losing everything to a drug test She picks up the phone with a grin on her face as if he could see her through the phone Another faulty excuse of overtime Of course the plastered smile stays But she can't find reasoning marketing should  leave bruises on his wrists Her children are her only ball and chain Her soul had left her years ago But her body stays to care for them An empty shell Selene walks into the stars once again and waves the wife over She swallows more than ever and spins to the sky Selene guides her to her soul and they walk together to watch Her son calls from his room for dinner Her daughter throws her phone because she didn't have service Her husband screams because the collar was a bit tight Selene, desperate for company, begs for her to stay And she does

The horrors of Selene
She rises as everyone falls Her white complexion pristine as always Men have fought for her pale face Yet, when faced with her dark side, they cry in horror A beautiful outsider She wanders alone in the stars Her wonder intimidates Her grace frightens Her love kills Under her glow men commit ****** and monsters come out to play Around every corner satin's satire drips of the tongue of ****** Adultery runs rampant Respectable ties exchanged for leashes of pleasure And briefcases for whips   He sleeps in a long sleeve shirt to hide the lashes Dinner was cold when he got home But he forgave. At church The cross burns a whole in his forehead His lips slightly stained from last night Mind not on the sermon, but on his next excuse How can he admit to losing everything to a drug test She picks up the phone with a grin on her face as if he could see her through the phone Another faulty excuse of overtime Of course the plastered smile stays But she can't find reasoning marketing should  leave bruises on his wrists Her children are her only ball and chain Her soul had left her years ago But her body stays to care for them An empty shell Selene walks into the stars once again and waves the wife over She swallows more than ever and spins to the sky Selene guides her to her soul and they walk together to watch Her son calls from his room for dinner Her daughter throws her phone because she didn't have service Her husband screams because the collar was a bit tight Selene, desperate for company, begs for her to stay And she does

A thank you letter Sip your venom and exhale your dioxide How do you lick your lips when you have daggers for teeth?   Your stained wife beaters serve as a constant reminder of what I refuse to become. Your hatred ruined my childhood optimism And showed me this world is not golden I guess, thanks for showing me what a real man looks like One who splashes fire at those who sit in the same hell What was once a sweet tinkling sound now rips me back to my childhood You showed me how to manipulate people with words and destroy them with a taps Thanks for the incredible tolerance Both mental and physical Thanks for being my drama teacher and preparing me for this endless play we call life Thank you for the little things For the runs around the park when I considered suicide For the trips to the pool where I would swim to the bottom and wait for someone to get me Thanks for the times you helped me pick rice out of my knees after I was done kneeling My decision to never be a father was very easy. I will never let a child thank me like this. Thank you for teaching me what a cycle is and how it works within families Thanks for family values Family value #1: family should me nothing Family value #2: unconditional love does not have to be mutual 3: false hope is enough 4: your replacement is your rock 5: adultery? dismissible. Feminine? Loathsome inexplicable despicable shame 6: you are a fraud if you walk without God even if he ignored my sin 7: what do we now know?   I now know how to control my anger I now have control over my emotions I now know how important it is to love myself before anyone else I now know how to be independent I now know how to stop this cycle But you won't know You will never know that I am no longer your son You will never see me be the pink fluorescent You will never hear me say I love you truthfully In fact, you will never hear the truth You will hear what I want you to hear You will see what I want you to see You will think what I want you to think But you will know nothing And I thank you for that

Moist cement leads to broken metal doors which hold in the pungent scent of the orange air fresheners Click, ding, swoosh Everyone rushes in to pretend they have a purpose Broken earbuds serve me no purpose other than the universal sign of "leave me the **** alone" Leather wrapped around foam in neat rows Lined by green tint And topped with arches of metal I squeeze into the last bit of routine and look out into the green tinted world My reflection stares back, judging me I pretend to ignore him, but she demands attention They get a firm grip on my hair and tear me from my leather ******* She tells me that there is no hope for the one I pretend to love He says she has no doubt in their soul that I'm making things worse I'm suddenly sitting in a metal chair I feel bound to it, but I'm not She does it for attention He has the option to get up, but they stay to hear the truth she has to tell They do it for attention You are doing this to ourselves We can get up from this chair but he doesn't let yourself We do it for attention She feels the chair get hot where he sits They know he can get up but she feels he deserves this pain He are not bound We is not bound They were not bound She won't be bound He must be doing this for attention Attention from whom They hid her chair for as long as he possibly could She lied saying he was cold...in June He made jokes when she couldn't come up with excuses She didn't do this for attention He sat in the seat because it is her fault They can get up at anytime But I don't
