I'm sorry
I ****** up your heart
and got your hopes up

When all you wanted to do
was make me feel alive
without drugs

I dragged your eccentric soul out
and led you on
to the fifth slaughterhouse
Where I made you watch me
Vonnegut myself

...So it goes
you're swallowing
more than your doubt

A metaphor shoved
down your throat
and all you could do
was gag
on the right things
you should have said.

Like a ghost in the stairway
floating
the after-thought
overhead.

We we're never meant to be.
I was just lonely
and you were just bored.
Right?

Then I don't feel as bad.
Maybe we needed it.
******* move on.

Miss Amphetamine,
It's been two weeks
Since I bowed down
to speak in tongues
To worship you.

You ****.
You told me
That you'd see me next Tuesday
When I felt my soul
wasn't enough.

But I met someone else
She sets my soul on fire
sings my body electric
and keeps my
electro-magnetic heart
stimulated

Attracting the opposite
of what you held together
and selfishly beat
with chemicals

Miss Amphetamine,
you were my soul's
straight jacket

A cuckold of imagination
you got off
on watching me
**** myself

You used to have me
wrapped around your finger

I stayed up on the phone
listening to you
about how He should
treat you better

How it hurt
when you told me
you loved me
like a brother

When we woke up
in the same bed
with distance between
the sheets

blue-balled
by my own fantasies

I followed you
around like a puppy
and you told me
when to come

Until He wrapped a ring
around your finger

Hello Eve
I Am Man
let me MANipulate you
make you MINE

          Helen of Troy,
          I held you on high
          Put the *****
          on a pedestal

Mary,
divinity in the
mirror, mirror
objectification
of my own reflection

          Sophia,
          Set my soul on fire
          ***-trafficked my heart
          into art
