ALL BECAUSE OF YOU
Mutilated flesh, tired scars slashed across my skin,
tears in the car, in my room,
in the rain, in the psychologist's office
Empty words scrawled across the damp, dying page
tasteless food, sense of wonder dulled
meaningless money white t-shirt and shorts worn day after day
dirty tattered emotions, desire soaked up by the rags
in your kiss
ego blown to bits and reconstructed in the wrong order
feebly crawling, hoping not be seen in the maze of the loud, vibrant world
a skeleton trying to dance with the living
brash words shouted across the old parking lot in hoarse voices
voices trying to pin the blame on somebody else
voices trying not to die in the cold October night
wars of words between two faulted sides, both trying to gain ground enough
to satisfy the feelings of heartlessness they possess
you own me
you control me
you destroy me
you define me
