ruby red lips
i think about
my youth
those ruby
red lips on
the latest
ghetto
queen
they enter
my dreams
like every
porn i have
ever seen
too often,
reality never
comes close
to that
of course,
i'd be too
stunned
if it did
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fully convince me
everyone says i
look younger than
what i really am
i never have met
a liar that could
fully convince
me they aren't
full of shit
---------------------------------------------------------------
wanting to devour my soul
i have
no interest
in living
forever
the woman
of my dreams
hopes to be
dead by the
end of the
week
paradise is
a few quiet
moments
alone
where
she tastes
like an
alien
wanting
to devour
my soul
with any
luck
that's just
a tuesday
---------------------------------------------------------------------
better living through chemistry
believer in
better living
through
chemistry
be it the bottle
the needle
a line or two
or a little peace
rolled up into
a slice of heaven
anything has
to be better
than what these
conservatives
call reality
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
upon her angelic skin
slipped into the
aura of a spanish
princess
kissed her gently
upon her angelic
skin
i go days without
hearing from her
now
i retrace my steps
and reassure this
fragile ego i have
done nothing
wrong
tired of talking that
fucker down from
the bridge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
starts to roll down my back
the summer heat
starts to roll down
my back
and i look at all
these long lines
and wonder how
many could i kill
before some brave
soul wanted to make
the evening news
and it's not like
i want to think
these things
but a soul beaten
down by society
can only muster
so many dreams
until the darkness
takes over for good
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
