Skin and meat and hunger
Let me eat that flesh you detest
I’ll savor the chewy scars
And sour infections
Savory salty sweat wets my appetite.
The way it slides down between your *******.
Because despite your flaws
It's all delicious.

Materialism mind schism
Religious based holiday chased
Thought of peace bought
Through this nihilistic idealist

I don't need your greed shaming fake god
To know there's more than this
To know.

Take your useless prayer and save some air
For people who need it
Because if your god is real, then you don’t.

Do you see that man clutching a
Heart shaped stone
Wrapped in a cloak of the world
Holding these double edged shields
Of politics, materialism, lust
To protect him from the winds of
Regret, isolation …loneliness.
It must seem foolish
From your outer space perspective
But don't judge him too harshly
He's just broken.

The peak trough life
***** the small one
I know that's not the phrase
But I’ve never seen anyone brag about
******* a small ****
So it must be worse
But I digress
I just want to repress that downward egress
And I don't want pills
I don't know what I want
A woman, mostly.

You're beautiful
But you don't see it
Makes me wish I couldn't either
Because you'll never be mine
No matter how many times
I listen to your struggles
And offer bad advice
You already found your love
And I’m just a nice guy
You know from there.

I realized today that
I’m better at being me
Than I am at being a part of them.
Or us.
It's too easy to be the crutch
To get stuck while helping us out of the ruts.
But when I’m the stress pressed mess...
Step around.

Ever the alien
Ever the desert
Ever the tree standing tall in the field
Watching the forest retreat.

You're pretty and all
But
There's rust on my trust motor
So how about we try out some fun positions
And see where it goes
I know love is more than breathy “oh"s and curled toes
But
My heart can’t take the break
And I don't want to die, I think.
