This entire empire of dirt and manure is about to expire
I'm not gonna lie, between you and I, I wish I was a lier
My mind though is compulsive when lighting it's pants on fire
Nose long as a telephone wire, front and center like a town crier
And the shiit that I get from myself and the public stacks higher and higher
I know exactly what's about to transpire
Yet I always make it worse, never better
Like a water geyser to a grease fire
I'll forever be a fumblin', bumblin' reality denier
Faced with a situation that can only be described as dire
When you've only ever been able to hire a blind get-a-way driver
There's no chance of escaping this hell, life organically becoming satire

Forget her
Don't suffer to remember just to suffer forever, sucker
Lust safer
Rub one out and see if the hunger doesn't expire a little quicker
Cold fire
Flip it 180 and record what's bound to transpire
Loves quagmire
Simple desire will always inspire but ensnare a liar

Shifty empire
Not strange to aspire to be a vicious, succubus, vampire
Almost satire
An enticing lure to offer for sure but unstable as brushfire
Situation's dire
Sooner than later fall victim to the inevitable backfire
Flimsy tightwire
An act in need of fools for hire, speaking to the choir

I think of you often  maybe it was because of the way you looked  at me,  like I was something that was worth looking into.

Now I am just longing for your eyes which I will never see.

I long for the way you turn your head towards me those are the memories that I will remember and cherish as long as I walk this Earth.


Loved you since we met.
Lost you  once when you died but I promise I will,...
I Will find you! again!!! and I will Love you thence.
Death is a vicious thing pulls apart the ones you loved.

with lifestyle

nurtural arc
of tournament

with her
leg yet
ingress indelible
swoop on

within the

of Neverland
I'd stink

severity when
she may
see their
epitaph here
would din
and mire
little hen
a girl in my heart
as dyne
packed parch
and hard
in pettifog
with hopes
of his
fine lore
would evoke
lavender oil

longing Rembrandt

Brexit left
their reckoning
with covert
aspects of

a dire time
a myriad
dice with
death that

gnaw to

catch flu
with symptoms

then the

this inertia

like these
that she

money machine
was astride

and dined
in spring
A note on highness was the debt
