you

yes, you

step right up

be amazed and bewildered

as you feel a subtle bowie knife

lick your forehead

and taste your vermillion liquid

let the pretty hate machine entertain you

watch as it inflicts its signature act on you

and don't worry, it won't hurt

..

did you enjoy the show?

the pretty hate machine did.

I am the lonely man
in the gelid abyss
immersed in my tragic isolation

Transient moments of light enter
my only confidant being myself
existing but not living

The silence of life
interposed by the whir of a heart at work
reminding me

Slowly, the cycle revolves
I am still right here
you are still right there

Ad infinitum
I am the lonely man

— The End —
