Aug 2012
This is where I'm left.
In all my rage, in all my disgust.
You built it up inside my trust,
You tore it down without a word.
I can't imagine how,
You just hold someone down and step on there throat.
And look away like you don't know.
Ignoring choking and gasping below your soles.
I'm disposable. A working class dog.
When my task is accomplished, you send me back to my kennel.
And the food is running out.
For every endeavor I face,
My stomach growls,
So loud, so much agony.
I'll be gone soon, but I can't wait.
I thought I meant so much more than this.
You told me to stand in front of the car then you hit the gas.
Left my wounded body in the woods.
To die alone cold and scared.
My bones are to broken to support my weight.
I'm not stubborn enough to ignore my fate.
This is the end.
And I trained my replacement.
I'm only two years old,
Yet I'm an easy target.
Avert your eyes!
Please ignore my cries!
Your problems are almost gone,
Your burden meets its demise.
You asked for a scratch then called me the thorn in your side.
Your fingers cradle me and pull away but in time,
I'll lie in the dirt and be buried alive.
I'll be a vague memory of an unpleasant ride.
And I know.
I know yet I don't!
I'm discarded because you love someone else more.
And you've no more love to sustain this case,
Of charity. This teet dangles over my face.
I once drank my fill,
Against your warm embrace.
Your skin was a blanket,
Warmer than a tropical wave.
But all that's left is sand.
Irritating in trouble some.
Sweep me off of your skin and wait for the next one!
You don't need me like I need you.
And everyone here would die to be with you.
So I'll watch from the darkened corner alone.
They all glance at me quickly and then they move on.
Whispering "how glad are you you're not in his shoes?"
Is that his punishment? What did he do?
Well I'll shout from the shadows exactly what I've done.
I'm innocent I swear it but please, have your fun!
And I'll sit here and starve.
Be thrown into the dirt.
Return to my kennel,
Lay and be choked.
Because I'm the one who's been thrown away.
I'm an animate object,
But my life has no meaning.
So I'll stand on my own!
And sabotage you all!
Take a good look around,
All you see will fall.
My wrath burns hotter than Mercury in summer.
My rage boils like a stove under water.
And I'll use this,
Oh I'll use this well!
Like a present gift wrapped, delivered first class from hell!
I didn't sign for this package.
It was left in front of my door.
I stepped over it for weeks before I opened it up.
And out poured the darkest light imaginable.
It was black and bright red. Backed by a thundering orchestra.
My eyebrows slanted inward and my,
Sharp grin raised to one side.
So now sweet anger,
Sweet hatred and lust!
Retaliation will be so sweet,
And so just.
Revenge is a dish served cold as cries.
But smell the sweet hatred as I bake it alive!
Then eat it!
Take in every last bite.
This will be your last meal so eat till you die!
And I'll watch from the shadows in the shadiest branches.
Of the tree I hide in to which I was banished.
In all my rage, in all my disgust.
You built it up inside my trust,
You tore it down without a word.
I can't imagine how,
