21/M Lacking in empathy ; Judge and be judged.
A spider's living in the pipes of my summer Dover home and though I share no gripes I still am asking him to go He shows no signs of venom to my simple, human eye, but still, I have no serum for what toxin he might apply his eight long legs still haunt me I see them peeking from the drain and into my eyeballs oh the horror, shout the pain! His sight's enough to paralyze the bravest of the bold but even when I grow fat and old I'll see him gouging out my eyes!

Get HIGH Like 50,000 feet high, start doing jumping jacks until you're dead tired & inhale like there's no tomorrow, face it, there aint one, so just Spread out and cool off where the Strato & Mesosphere meet, I know a guy who can hook you up, he looks shady but he's good, and besides he's got connections to some solid S-Rank Ozone, we're talking military grade, stuff that makes you think you got wax wings dig? Yeah, snot impossible these days to make it look any cleaner than it did since last era, the last time we inhaled   fresh air, its funny how one only misses that thing when its gone, but then if there's another way for nostalgia to function i'm all ears.

Snort the Ozone
I have felt the sting of a thousand killer bees, and allowed my heart to sieze upon the beatings of their wings.

on the killer bee
Letting my mind wander for a moment a semifamiliar memory cropped into view, In it a strange hand wrote on a scratchpad, three letters that spelled out: EYE OWE YOU

A train robbery
It wasn't the plan to bite the man and leave his hand in strips and strands I wanted no part in devouring your heart and it wasn't smart because your heart was ****

mouth things
the sea grabbed bodies, theirs and mine flaming foaming tendrils ahold of the drifting timber trying to keep gripping, hanging holding high salt stripped throat shouting Unhand Me, Body- You'll not have us tonight, but the sea made  belly sounds, bleeding even the pilot, head slipping to the murk my blood the envy, finally fell out inside and I sank to the floor with the timber and rope-the final moments of vision the setting horison the eye and perhaps an illusion; not-blak sails drifting steady my head vapor shroud eating the sun I fell into the lap of my love, my Mathilda- royalty to seakelp and fog looking on both irises jupiter and mars and thanking the stars furyos vixens above and she stood and she smiled not-blak sails- I admired her silver linen train but a din like desperate men shouting loosed me from my vision; they had seen the sails and all surrounding the lot tantalus's envy the pilot's hands raving Not today! Not today! They feared hotel raft a permanent lodging, jumping, frightened, killing themselves their poor salt-seasoned hearts drifting again more than them no signal observing the sails flurrying trumpets it might see us-it might, it might!

Sails Across
I don't have enough talent to become a has-been he then curled his lips to an english grin, took one step forward, he took two back and plunged headfirst into the canyon.

10-sorry for the saturation
What the hell is going on upstairs, sounds like two honeyed hams going at it, these paper-thin walls do nothing to mask my disgusting habits.

Hey, are you awake we've got lives at stake, the hound is tearing a hole- now she's staring right at me oh god, can't you see-she's gone, where the hell'd the dog go?
