how sad it must be
to be as fake as thee.
im glad that it was worth it
to be snakes to the ones
that dont deserve it.
i hope that one day
you teach your kids that
mistakes are easy to be made.
i hope that one day
you find it in you to stop
being the selfish lover you love to be.
and i hope one day
you find it in you to understand
there is beauty in everyone,
even when you think you're a burnt out star.
forgive me for still caring,
maybe one day you'll need someone
and realize i will always be there.
it probably makes me stupid,
borderline pathetic.
but unlike you,
i dont have to fake it to make it.

You've cut ff your feet
to spite your head
Is there nothing left
in between?
is your whole life
blackened
and squandered
rotted and
gnarled
by gangrene?

Join me, come in.
Cavort with the dead
Join me, come in.
I can't be alone in my head.

How can you sit
there
with blood on your face
and not feel
it dry to a crust?
How can you sit
there
with gore on your hands
knowing you shiver
from lust?

Join me, come in.
Cavort with the dead.
Join me, come in.
I can't be alone in my head.
You, too, must feel torment
and torture.
You, too, must be plagued
without cure.

Where are you going?
to hell and not back?
Did you buy your ticket
to ride?
or
will you walk
into
the bottomless pit
draped with your badges

flesh putrefied?

Heads on lapels like
an Easter corsage
dead lilies like
those on a grave,

a grave that you dug
then
stepped in to forage
to eat as a worm of the flesh.

Flesh young and tender
that flamed with desire
till your curse
extinguished
the fire.

*Join me, come in.
Come into my fire.
Join me, come in.
We'll wade through
the mire
with blood
in our mouths
and our eyes.

Taste of the pain,
the glorious pain.
Like a gift
I give it to you,
offered again and again,
a philanthropist
swollen with bounty,
who bestows what
he has
like a prize.
