Premium Member Pitiful Shadows
Give me one moment to reflect On wonted scenery once erect The steel, glass and wood all made A home for birds, and those who trade From here, there, all did see (unless housed in a cave) Hollywood on TV Land of the free, Home of the brave Brandishing banners with God's Holy Name Pitiful shadows dance when we stir Given voice from the...

Street lights aren't good at consoling They are too high up Their posture unchanging Eventually their glare feels mocking Perhaps they don't care at all... Did they muster a 'there, there'? I don't believe they did But they seem to still be doing all they can Anthropomorphizing down a dead end street That's sadness for you ...

Premium Member She Loves You Because
Spit fire and spin honey, the target-a wealthy man and his money. She has no other talent that qualifies, just the sum of what quantifies. She's got cause and family ties, under the guise of friendship and lies. Depending on time to line her pockets, she waits like a spider to sign the dockets. The honey it dries, the old man dies. It evokes such...

Premium Member Pitiful Pits
You dig pit after pit after pit. Then wonder why nobody comes around. The few that tiptoe into your eggshell world are only there to use you... In greener years you were just another cutter graduating to just another pit digger... Blood or not, I'll not dance in your self-inflicted pits.. I'll just sidestep the "hole" mess and say happy...

Premium Member The Pitiful Parable of Pistol Pete
Pistol Pete is Peaceful Peter now, Married life has altered him, and how. He used to be a honky tonker Always spoiling for a fight, Now he's always home with Mama And in bed by nine each night. It was a huge mistake to take that wedding vow. He had to give up hanging out with all the boys, And had to throw...

Pitiful
In everything I do, my all is what I give. So when you hit me hard I wont forgive. You threaten me with things, when you dont get your way. I'm actually glad you didnt choose to stay. Now my dreams and life I can fully live. You want your cake and eat it too. But that wont happen look at...

P - President
Propped open, perched up Placed in place on your pedestal Pondering if your position on top is permanent, your premeditated perverse becomes paranoia Protracting your path of prideful propulsion while we pause, preoccupied by the propaganda polluting our vision To the public your punctual, full of purpose Pitiful, people cannot perceive the true purpose in your perception This prison...

Stop Being Pitiful
I am beautiful, so stop being pitiful, you can't change me, I'm God's creation you see, I may not have the looks in all the pictures I took, but I've got bass that I can't replace. My personality is wild and weird, but I don't care, cause normal doesn't compare. Your fist and your words...

Pitiful Tears
Pitiful Tears You went away and left me sweetheart I know through no choice of your own I am missing you every day since, my dear The days are now years that you left me alone One foot in front of the other Is how I have coped with passing time The years creeping slowly by With me remembering when you were mine All...
