With his eloquent tongue, Quick wit, And grinning eyes. He made us love him. He made us feel loved. If only for a moment. Then it got ugly. Suddenly there were questions. Fighting amongst ourselves. Betraying one another. Never trusting. No one. Not even ourselves. He made us weak. Afraid. Spiteful. He turned us into something we're not. He played us all. He crushed us. Or tried to. Without a thought. Without a care. With his crippled black soul, Deadened eyes, And withered self. Hidden behind a handsome mask, A gentle hand, His lies. His fear drove him. His fear of being realized. His fear of being alone, And others seeing him, As he really is. For he is dark, He is apathetic, He doesn't feel what others feel. He cannot feel remorse, Except for in fear of himself. For he only cares for himself.   He claims he doesn't care. He claims to be free. Free of restraints. Free of emotion. Free of love. But for what he claims is free, Is imprisoned in fear. For he is a coward. Terribly frightened. Afraid of others. What they might say. What they might think. But mainly he is afraid of himself. For he knows his noxious soul, Will one day find him. Abandoned. Exposed. The day he knows he is unloved. The day he knows he is alone. Alone with no one but himself. The one he fears the most. He will weep. For nothing is stronger. Nor more horrifying. Than facing one's greatest fear. To open one's eyes. To face all alone. The one you despise the most. To see in the mirror, The demon you've become, As no fear is stronger, Than that of oneself.

and isn't strange that i'm sitting in my car in a parking garage thinking of you and missing your stupid plumb apple face or maybe it's carved from soap or shaved glass fragmented by pieces collected in bindles followed by bundles of the joy i used to have of the sleep i used to get of the energy i used to take and isn't it strange how i have no desire to have you all to myself for you are an automous being that breathes and thinks and acts wholy different than me but i can't help but miss you and your kiwi colored eyes with the seeds cut out dipped in a ring of gold and like smegal i yearn to hold that precious ring of gold in my shriveled hands even though i know it'll corrupt me but i'm drawn to mordor all the same that's what it's like missing you wanting to go there even when I shouldn't and isn't it strange that my world is shifting complicit and complicated a deficit of the senses a pull from the void a shake of the head with such filigree i am sated but blinded by such yearning to touch your hot skin feel it rest against mine again but maybe i'm too addicted to sparks
