Consider this the tearful confession
Consider this the blank stare from the taxi
Consider this...emptiness against the grain
Hollow, shelled, nameless
Emptiness

She dances
Twirls
Takes me
$250 for eternity
'Come here, it's ok. Get off, dont get mad.'

...
Worthless
I feel guilty that I lost her
My fault
I'm the reason she left
I was the problem

I wish I didnt exist
Then at least I would feel normal
Regurgitate pills
Black out before poisoning
Faulty receiver
Cautious drivers
Dull blades
Not enough junk

But I'm happy for her

Life burns
We die
Our wick may be castrated
Or stretched to an ungodly length
Regardless
Life burns

I want to die
I'm afraid to experience
'No life'
Many are waiting
I have many to greet
But
Life goes on
Death goes on
Purgatory is greener than both
But
The taste of stale fire
The last taste being rust
Regrets look on me as I spiral

2s
I miss the taste of my queen
she clenches and squirms and scratches at my face
True loyalty she is not
True purity she is not
I have sought to it
I am who brought ruin
I who have brought infidelity
I am the one who has lost

when I smile you frown
when I frown you grin
the only time we're both happy is when I'm inside you
when I plant my flag
and stake my claim

— The End —
