Woah, that guy's deep.
Do you think he might drown
down there, all by himself?
He might come up
for air soon, right?
Someone should probably go check
But that's a lot of pressure.
It's safer up here.

You know, any know-how
Must not be later, must be now,
Anyhow.
I was dragged to a whipping post
    and ******* desperate naked angry.
    Bring blood from lashes of a devil's
    tongue and **** and **** and *****.
    
    Writing poetry is a lonely effort
    full of doubt. No one likes a word.
    I drink me insane to set it on fire
    and light lines to burn poems down.
Everybody dies. How doesn't matter.
    Life's a bad movie with a sad ending.
The living still send bills, call you up.
    Emails not returned to those sending.

The inks wet in the memory book.
Sooner than later you're forgotten.
Cremains in a dusty urn on a mantle. 
Funeral flowers turn black and rotten.

My house of cards, built on the sand,
Is floating away, looking very stable,
As I hit a very good hand.

The truth is bitter
but you taste so sweet.
I held and soothed you
as I got you deep...slow
kissing into a meek
surrender.

You bring me to my knees
with just the sound of
your voice and in your
presence I melt into your hands,
you feeling the deep rumble
of  my voice as  it  coos
and comforts you.

I  feel you in  my  whole
body  and  every  inch
of my skin.

You melted into me when
I  held  you....so  why  do
your demons hurt me so?
