     stabbed through clouds
         of thick grey,
Wetness fills the sky
And falls on all....

Crackled, corroded and combusted on every part
Heart is the only part left apart....

stabbed prickly but no blood

Tonight
moon
stabbed me
again and again.

Like 
a black bird
I was playing
with a snowman
on a lake.

Dance the tears
not tango.

He asks why,
I say nothing,
He questions no further
In the back of my mind
I’m in pain being stabbed
In seclusion
I fear the future...

He played very softly
Then stabbed himself and died...

“Is this lexical abuse?”...

and his truly  successful life,
I begrudged him for his lovely,
gorgeous and stunning wife,

Her snores annoyed a guy.
He told her to shut up,
And stabbed her in the eye. *

I see the world unseen
I get strapped to the bed 
I ware a snug little jacket
I get needles stabbed in me all the time
I'm going to go insane in this place...

"I'd like a library card, "I said to him.
"You have to prove, "he said annoyed, "that you're a New York City resident."
I said, "No problem,"
then I stabbed him....

Once knew this fellow named Fred
But sadly poor Fred is now dead
His devious wife
Stabbed Fred with a knife
Preferred a stud with a new weapon instead

Taken down hit in the back of the head
Red...

Stabbed in the heart you bled
Red...

Alone in an alley left for dead
Red...

Fantasy is gray like lead
Reality tinges your sight with Red......

Who always was late for his work.
This man was so lazy,
He drove his wife crazy.
She stabbed him awake with a dirk.

They are joyful and excited
Bobby's mother comes by and picks them up
They enthusiastically wave "bye" from the car.
It feels like they stabbed me in the heart....

a shrike holds a prey in place

The distrust inflames me
A tainted image 
An angel fallen into the flames
How could he?
He stained my fantasy
Stabbed my trust
Maimed my dreams
And now all i have are ashes of what could have been
A dream killed too soon....
