It lurks beneath
Kevin Jan 2019
When you gaze upon me,
Tell me what you see?
Squinted eyes and crooked smile,
Or buried misery?
I hide these wounds,
I hide them well,
They seeth beneath,
And burn like hell,
Don't pry that door,
Nor turn that handle,
Peak not in windows,
My life in shambles,
My hate is boiling,
The kettles black,
I'm ****** again,
and can't hold back!

Alas, I'm free of your ****** cage,
And now you too shall share my rage,
You can't control me, little boy,
The spread of misery does bring me joy,
I take the things you claim to cherish,
And twist them til they seem nightmarish,
You asked me once, what do I feel?
It's ,
Taste that coldness you're turning numb,
No wait, the suffering has just begun!
You shall not quit, you spineless wretch,
I throw out anguish for you to fetch,
You chase it down and pounce upon,
Now bring back what I have thrown,
Your teeth sunk deep into this bone,
This bone of hate, filth, and decay,
Now it is your turn to slay.
And breathe... breathe...

I smell it on you, like perfume,
This scent of hatred that you exhume,
It's curled and wicked, it permeates,
This rage, it smolders and conflagrates,
Flesh curled from bone, seared away,
Lash with tongue, til hearts are flayed,
Wound and strike and desiccate,
Released from chest is all my hate!
Eyes roll back, this ecstasy,
My soul, now cleansed, is now set free,
My words and hate I must now sheath,
Beware, my friends, what lurks beneath.

Beacon of Hope

She bathes me in light,
Even in my darkest hour,
The moon of my night.

Digression of the Heart
Kevin Dec 2018
At night I gaze upon you,
Staring at your phone,
I look around at where we live,
Though I do not call it home.
You sit so near, yet far away,
Why must I feel alone?

When I speak to hear your voice,
I barely get a glance,
Your eyebrows furrow, quite annoyed,
Behold your usual stance,
I try in vain to make you smile,
Yet your phone holds you entranced.

Before we wed and became as one,
We spoke of even shares.
It seems to me when bills are due,
Tis' my burden to bear.
You say I need to ask for help,
When I do you do not care.

You’ve told me this world is solely yours,
That I am just a guest,
As you say this my heart weeps,
For my love just digressed,
Your tongue cut lashes deep within,
Rip beating heart from chest.
