To My Grave

Member since 2002 · Posted 14 Mar 2003 · Edited 22 Aug 2003 · 10 comments

I knew you kept them! I found them yesterday In our secret hiding place. The policeman, The waitress, Even the little girl from the bus, They just sit there now. Nothing to do but be dead. I sat with them last night for hours Remembering all the fun we had, And that wild crazy look in your eyes? I owe you a lot my friend. You taught me to enjoy The simple act of murder, As it should be enjoyed, As one caught up In passionate sport, Holding nothing back, Letting it grab hold of you And pull you inside. Unsanctified. Unholy once again. In your secret garden Of earthly horrors, Lay sorrows, The last remnants Of failed mythologies, That torment me. That tease me. That feed my one desire. And speed me to my grave.

you write these poems strictly for yourself. This is completely inaccessable. Think about the audience. Tell them the story.

What are you talking about. Fuck the audience. You right the poem for yourself. If anyone else likes them who fucking cares.

The end of S2 And all of S3 is ethereal but the 'stuff' is frustrating what is the stuff? is it relevant? i felt denied not knowing. Otherwise with a bit of chinking this could shine like an ice sculpture. 7
