Take a gamble
Odds are you will
Have to lose
But you can choose
An offer you will not
Refuse she's waiting
To become your muse
A little bored but
More amused this hand's
A straight get
Too  confused to
Play your cards or
Discern the hues the
Black from white
You get abused
Wake up she's gone
Your money too and
All that's left an
Awful bruise.

Your smile makes me laugh
‘Till the sky turns pink
And the hills in the air melt away;
Every single thing you say
Meets with comprehension
And you need not fret
For mortification because
I will always already know,
I will always recognize
Your pleasing high
Contagious to me which
Causes the deepest amusement,
It could split one’s sides.

Why must blue be blue?
She asked, in a frustrating
But worthy attempt to
Unlock one of millions of secrets;
She didn’t know that the purpose
In life is not to find the answers
But to withstand the suffering
Curiosity brings.
In lieu of investigating the unknown,
Embracing mystery like the future ahead
Presents a precious gift, that is the ability
To find apathy in where we go
When the soul is dead, when we transcend.

You look at me like love just
Like you used to and
For a minute I fall for it into it
Back six months
Back a year.
You are a liar.
Marley ONeill Feb 2010
I gave you the sleeper hold
Just for a while
And we are so far away
But it was always that smile
That drew us together
Bonnie and Clyde
Want to drown you in agony
Float away with the tide
But you reeled me back in
The worst kind of ride and
Words were the poison
The blood I would bide
Not quite what was planned for
When you’re better off dead
Lying abreast in
A lamentable bed.
We floated together
But you hit a snag and
No one can hear you when you're
Sunk, bound, and gagged.
Marley ONeill Feb 2010
I will now proceed
To the toilet and
*****. Why must
Love die so short
Of life? I
Can feel it
Coming up it is
Only a matter
Of time before
We crash, we
Collide, and
If everything
You love will
Die, who am
I, what’s
You and I?

Wealth and Glamour,
What you see
Everything you long to be.
Resentment, Rage,
What I’ve found,
It’s the chain to which I’m bound.
So let’s play lovers,
You and Me
In my violent fantasy.
Lest we forget
This bares no strings—
You tie my hands,
I’ll rip your wings.
