Fuck Life
I feel myself dying,
hour by hour, day by day.
Fading away
with nowhere to go
but down the path chosen
so long ago.
No way to turn back
no desire to try.
Things that yesterday
could make me laugh,
today they are my torment
reality glaring through.
Things that might have been
I know will never be.
Trivialities rejected
are now rejecting me.
Magazines filled with hints and tips
for joys unattainable
and long since foregone.
Plastic smiling faces,
red lips mouthing lies,
promises and dreams that
never come true.
And I wait
and I watch
to see if death
will be as disappointing
Sweet Silence Sweet silence in my brain
I dream I dream
Filling me with emptiness
Tells me I'm insane.
Sweet silence in my heart
Squashing ancient memories
Prepping a new start.
Sweet silence in my soul
Painting walls with selfishness
Carves another hole.
Sweet silence on my breast
Buries deep a lover's glance
Begging for a rest
Sweet silence in my eyes
Hiding all the ugliness
Telling you those lies
Sweet silence in my ears
Blocking out the promises
Too many o'er the years
Sweet silence on my lip
Screams anger in your face
Awaits the final slip
You scream
I smile
You revile
I cry
You fly into a rage
I talk
You walk
I sing
You swing
I duck
You pluck my heart and squeeze
I shut you out
Close ears to shout
You rant and rave
Then swear you'll behave
I run and hide
Eyes open wide
Your fury grows
Your hatred shows
You've been here before
You're old and wise
It'll never be over
Til someone dies
You've been here before
You're old and wise
It'll never be over
Til someone dies …
