Scum
03:36
|

|
Predatory actions
to get you off,
and rip the heart out
of a lonely being.
Black void
where your soul should be,
a demonic libido
is your weapon of choice.
Psychic vampire.
You are scum.
Psychic vampire.
You are scum.
Fuckbois thrive
in a pandemic
like those thinking Jesus and prayer
will get them through it
sans masks.
Psychic vampire.
You are scum.
Psychic vampire.
You are scum.
I slipped and fell
and now I'm in hell.
Now I want you
to suffer.

Manipulator

Here I stand
and here I sit,
a newfound tennant
has found a vacancy in my head.
Here I stand
and here I sit,
the tennant pulls the strings
and makes it all go
from great to crap
at the snap of my fingers.
He knows what he's doing
he knows how miserable I am,
and there he sits
on that big cushion throne,
laughing and cackling
as he watches me stumble and crash
into a downward spiral.
He's cackling,
that vicious manipulator,
as he pulls the strings
and watches me change
into something awful.
I gotta do something,
I want him out right now,
he's not doing me any favors.
He won't let me do what I desire,
no, I gotta bend to his will,
he's gotta pull back on the leash
and hear me whimper,
but enough's enough,
it's time for him to go,
he's gotta go.
Here I come,
I've got the negotiator.
We can watch him come squirming
out of his home,
out of my head,
and watch me live a better happy life.

Vacant

You never told me why.
You never gave me a reason.
What happened to us?
You give me nothing these days.
I try and try,
but you just brush
me off to the side.
We were so close.
But now?
It's like I'm screaming into a void.
Like you'll notice me out of the corner of your eye,
maybe,
but even then, I get nothing in return.
I don't know why I bother anymore,
but each attempt hurts.
And all I want,
Is to hear back from you.
Where are you?
How have you been?
Guess I'll never know.
I don't know what I did
to cause this,
or if it's even my fault,
but I just want it to end.
I'm just aching.
And now you've extracted me
from your life
and I don't know why,
and now I am filled
with seething sorrow
and confusion,
and I just want it to end.
I'm aching,
and I want it to end.

You
03:55

It hit me hard today,
the realization
that you're leaving.
Things left unsaid,
regrets that I have,
sensations left smoldering.
Ending in a kiss
that caused my whole world
to incinerate.
I'm not sure you'd reciprocate,
if given the chance,
but there is a part of me
that just wants to tell you...
Oh,
if only you knew.
A selfish desire resides,
an ember amidst a dry forest
that could ignite
at the right time.
I have learned now,
through great heartache
and ecstasy,
it'd be better to regret
telling you how I feel
and be rejected
than to sit in this misery
wishing I could rewind.
