her gorgeous name sparked my attention
my dreams explored the fourth dimension
her beauty beyond comprehension
my longing in need of detention

her terms leave my soul perforated
my deep attraction vindicated
her notions highly decorated
my overture premeditated

her eyes transmit an invitation
my ticket one way to her station
her fleeting lips betray flirtation
my lust degraded to frustration

her feelings never conjugated
my perfect picture desecrated
her phone now ringing unabated
my love for her incinerated

causing only death and destruction
he truly needs no introduction
I've been followed all my life
by a shadow with a knife

friends, family or a lover
makes no difference to my brother
when I think I might be free
he goes on a killing spree

I turned to God in my despair
put all my last hope in a prayer
o Lord, help me understand
I'll obey every command

your brother is misunderstood
there's more than rage under the hood
siblings never go away
but is his pain here to stay?

I turned around with open eyes
saw this young man about my size
I shared the sad look on his face
and met him in a warm embrace

now we're walking side by side
he's my strength and I'm his guide
should you bring shame to your mother
I'll introduce you to my brother

child in pain
presents, bought in vain
cancer wins

no
it's not my alarm
cause I'm the black sheep
of this farm

no
won't open my eyes
just some construction
no surprise

no
not sick just lazy
yes father knows best
not crazy

no
it doesn't make sense
but I'm just a child
no defence

no
don't have time to think
they do it for me
see a shrink

no
there are no answers
just an increased risk
of cancer

no
can't go back to sleep
my chest is hurting
so I weep

no
I don't understand
there's blood everywhere
in my hand

no
this won't change a thing
life's not a girlfriend
just a fling
Mani Malien Nov 2015
serenading the dawn like a disney princess
I despise your denial of the invisible cage
biding my time til your song turns metal
passion on the brink of murderous rage

a slippery canvas betrays your pleasure
your darkest desires finally laid bare
my right hand a thick fiber enclosing your neck
the other triumphant in the war with your hair

stabbing til you bathe in colorless blood
I whisper affections straight to your ear
an endeavor empowering only myself
your screams make them impossible to hear

— The End —
