A Warm Place
Mike Shaw Sep 2012
Slipping away
Even deeper
Into the void
Getting Smaller
The downward spiral
At the heart of it all

The art of self-destruction
The beauty of being numb
The perfect drug
Beside you in time
Just like you imagined
I'm looking forward to joining you, finally
Terrible lie
Something I can never have

The big come down
The great collapse
The day the world went away
The line begins to blur
Help me I am in hell

At the heart of it all
Right where it belongs
The greater good
The great destroyer

A warm place
Erased
Over
Out


Poem created using titles of Nine Inch Nails songs.
Title names by Trent Reznor.
Arranged by Mike Shaw.

Almost
Mike Shaw Sep 2012
Give me something
Anything
I need to believe
In something

Vicious notes spraying
Their spewing of sounds
Telling me
Pulling me
Pushing me
Taunting me
They are me
Being me
Just me


All I can hear is the mix
Of static
Yelling at me
To believe
In something
Before there is nothing

To believe in

Anymore

— The End —
