Zombie of Mine
Jack Savage Apr 2013
Oh, zombie of mine
Please take the time
To sit and realize
Your mortal crime

The way that your eyes
Still follow mine
Tell me inside
You're no friend of mine

And I wish that this knife
With which,  you'll be surprised
To learn and surmise
That you can be dead,
Long before you may die.

My Ladders, They take me.
Your Stones, They brake me.

Anvil
Jack Savage Aug 2016
Your lies; anvils.
Been beaten into me by both sides.

Both shoulders;  Scully/Moulder.
Knew, here/then, something always lay in both eyes.

Lions on lions; pride over pride.
You sipped the straw. Stared at him.
My forced convoluted self-sacrifice.
Am I Seattle? O' sleepless? Save it.
Night after night.

This is not worth it; dirt.
So when you wake up [with]
[Morrow's coffee; my t-shirt],
I'll already be,

Dusk; gone and over it.

Sigh
Jack Savage Sep 2013
Whispers **** hunger,
Poisoning the hour,
Resting forever, as the second hands swing.

Stop watching me.

If silence were violent,
It'd be killing me.
A trembled sigh,
Knots the tie.

Swallowing my pride,
I shape up to the shame.

Face the day.
Erase the hate,
Tomorrow...

Glass
Jack Savage Aug 2016
A bit of glass in his hand...,
Helped those brittle bones keep walkin' out.

A lake at the bottom of all that he was,
They said "You'll soon forget it all."
"..You'll just grow out of it."

Living in darkness,
The deep end could never be
Close enough                  
                   Close enough.

He could stomach the running,
But the rye took his money
Away from him

He doesn't care if he's hungry.
The past fills him up like
Champagne.

So he asked,

"What good is water, if it's not on fire?"

"It helps so much."
                           "...so much..."
                                     "...so much."

Dancing in puddles,
Every shallow wave breaking him.
Here come the whispers;
Run River, Run.


"Just,..."
"...Just one more glass and then..."
One of my songs' lyrics.
Much about the ethereal abandonment felt through alcoholism

Ocean
Jack Savage Apr 2017
Give me a chance,
in this dance we dance
Tiptoes round future,
present, the past

Let your hero,
be my name
All secrets,
kept safe..

Because,..

Darling,
you're the only one I've ever loved,..

I can be your knight,
or night,
or day when day's bright,
Be there to know
when you feel alive
need light
or when tails of dresses wander,..

round corners
and you can barely breath,
[no room, all eyes]

I'm yours.
my love,
built
as shores,

And when I
Look at you,..
Oh, when I
Look at you

I see
an Ocean,
Both crashing
and calm

And I'll love it,

Like I love you

Wretch
Jack Savage Jun 2017
Collapsed in thrash
A post dusk dance
Where fickle whispers
Dare not doth ask
Digress, thumbing some
Of their finest cask
I'll ask myself
Dare not whispers doth ask

"What the **** are you doing?"

Laid with three
Just this week
Father's Cancer
Shan't I speak
Best friend's a child
So dull, so Bleek

Why do I seek to swerve
Where others swerve to seek

"Your life's a proper mess."

A diligent instrument
Succumbed to drink and spit
His nightly dance,
Thumb in cask
No longer feels so intimate
An idiot reflecting idiots

"I thought attractive people,..."

You finally made it
You Wretch

Live
Jack Savage Sep 2013
We dance in the days,
That have already come.
As we rise to greet,
Where our futures come from.
But what matters most,
Is seen not as fun.
So please, with our grace,
Let us live,
                   For Today.

Indivisible
Jack Savage Jun 2017
I wish so much to be
Indivisible
A tie without ties
A dog without a dive

I feel like a rusted fork
In the beauty that binds
So much red and orange
To something so lacking
I still feel as sharp as ever
But am I?

Pouring out Seattle's green.

A Slave's Paradox
Jack Savage May 2017
Engraved in the saved slave's heart
Is a mark before marks,
With chains laiden dark
Does weight really matter
When you('ve) never a start

I should feel freedom
Where I see wandered eyes
It's a shame I can see them,
Glares besting ice

The only tools I had I used to build You up
And now that tools I haven't
What tools can I use to build myself
My future, my family, my strength.

It's a blessing to be a free
But I do not get free blessing
Because those that horde it
Savor the chessing

Free?
I am not free.
And you,
You gave me nothing.

— The End —
