Best Song Games Poems


Can Anyone Hear It

Can anyone hear it?
The scratch scratch scratching from within these hollow walls, 
Mere inches away from children at play
Labyrinthine tunnels contain cellars, cells, chains, colorless creatures, and Nightmares,Terror,Sing-song games 
Played for one’s very life.
Can anyone hear it?
They’re voting.
Will you live?
Will you remain? 
Human?
Or will you exchange your flesh for a code?  
A whispered secret?  
A lie?  
Technical jargon??
Perhaps you’ll opt for a symbol?
If not approved,
We will hang you,
Display you,
Stretch you,
Expose you,
Shine a light on you, and 
Sing your song while 
Offering up hymns of worship.
Then we will eat you.
Can anyone hear it?
My stomach is growling,
So hungry, 
Calling you by name.
I long to be fed!
I long to be touched!
Soon, so soon, 
Satisfaction will be 
Carved,
Draped,
Chiseled,
And tattooed 
Across the vast 
Nothingness of
My Decomposing soul.
Can anyone hear it?
The sound of fullness is Mine.

You Can'T Stay

Baby, I can't go on another day
With you playing the games that you love to play
Being with you has made me realize
That this relationship has been nothing but a lie

Boy, we've come too far
For you to now break my heart
Because some other girl wants us to break us apart

Boy can you tell me where,
Where has our love gone?
And why can't we get it back?

Having your love was good for my soul
But I gotta let you go
Because I can't take the games no more

Boy, loving you has been nice
But staying up all through the night
Has driven me to the point where I can no longer make it right

Boy, can you tell me where,
Where has our love gone?
And why can't we get it back?

Having your love was good for my soul
But I gotta let you go
Because I can't take the games no more

Boy, me having you as my man can't go on
Because all the love that I thought we had is now gone
I've been cheated on
Lied to
So I'm leaving you
Cause there's so much better that I can do!!
