They are the ones who knock
Unsated they slither and mock
For they are hunters of your soul
Taken without your will or control
Did you get what you deserve
As their eyes stab at your reserve
Do you scream and run on
Wishing and hoping they’d be gone
To pursue and capture you
As you run and not falter too
While the gathering demon horde
Watch smile and quietly applaud.

Remember…
Try to remember that they don’t want you, that they only get joy when they taunt you, that the pain of rejection will haunt you, only when you remember all these, will your mind ease, and your wanting wont tease, the right frame of mind will again begin to please, but the next time will come, and you get what you deserve in some, way you allow to feel, the deepest emotions you will, try to remember the most, each and every line I wrote, hope will someday find you, in your heart of hearts remind you, to just remember…
The new Karma Restaurant's,
Where my wife and I had a seat
They told us, "We have no menu,"
"You get what you deserve to eat!"
The waiter soon brought us our meal
She got a steak, she liked a lot
That is what I thought I would get
But a hot pocket's what I got!
For desert, I was still hopeful
For a comeback from a bad start
But my wife got Cherries Jubilee
And I got a cherry pop tart!
After thoughtful introspection
At what Karma put on my plate
Change didn't seem very likely
So Hardy's will be our next date!
Take a while to think it through
What it will be like at the end
When you draw your last breath
And you find out who was correct
Do the atheists win and there is nothing
Or is it you get what you deserve
To go onto heavenly things or hell's torture
Maybe it's just a warehouse of souls
Awaiting their moment to recycle again
And leaving back to this world
No one knows until this time will come
Life's greatest secret will be finally revealed.

I hope you get what you deserve
You’ve torn a heart with little to preserve
You walk with your head held high
Your ego is big enough to touch the sky
You won’t admit to your fault
It all felt right until I caught
A glimpse
The heartbreaking sight to behold
I gave you my all and then you sold
My love.
I hope you get what you deserve
You’ve so much beauty to preserve
Don’t let your hopes get so high
But reach your hands to the sky
For this is anything but your fault
I know it was fun and you got caught
Up in the moment.
A love that was something to behold
You fell for the act and to him you sold
Your love.
In the end, we all get what we deserve.
Pain is no longer welcome here
Love had died and was reborn in your arms;
We are the damned generation of forgotten sons.
There’s no need for teary eyed pain or to hurry;
Take your time and enjoy your life with no worries.
It’s just a part of the process;
It’s a learning curve.
Each heart that is broken, heals
And eventually you get what you deserve.
Watching raindrops fall down the windows,
Thinking of how this used to make me feel.
I used to be sad when the dark rain clouds would come,
But eventually even I will find love too, so I will be sad no more.
No matter where you are on Earth, my love…
We are both staring at the same sun.

Why do persist
Playing games with love?
Why do you create
In others so much pain?
Don't for a moment forget
You reap what you sow
In the end you get what you deserve
'Cause you are not inmune to pain
So take it easy
Watch your steps so carefully
Love always has a way
To make pain easy to bear
Why do you persist then
In hurting the ones, that for you seem to care
Get off that foolish mentality of yours
And give love its due chance to grow

Ode to Steve,
You controlling backstabber, you've lost control of me.
You took what you could get, but it belonged to me.
Self Respect, you have none of, So you took mine from me.
You believed you were entitled, That it should all be free,
You think the whole world owes, and you think your due.
you steal from everyone, no one is exempt from you.
I wish they'd all punch you in the eye and kick you in head.
for everything you've lied about and everything you've said.
All the years I wasted, you wrecked them all for me
All the holidays and family times, days that should be great,
you destroyed them all for me, and now its you i hate.
you only have yourself to blame, and you have sealed your fate.
All the slander, and the lies you spread,
what comes around goes around.
I pray that karma's true, that's my wish for you.
I hope You get what you deserve, but multiplied times two.
It is my life, I've taken it back,
I'm finally rid of you.
To all those who have been touched by terrorism or fear, September 11, 2001 is not the
first or last time we will be touched by those who envy and want our way of life. We will go
on doing all the things we do that make america and us Americans. Now is not a time of
age ,race, color ,gender or religious beliefs. Now is a time to stand up and show to the world
that I am an american and you cannot break my spirit. To those that died on September 11,
I may not have known you, but I will never forget or forgive what happened to you. I will
tell my child what unjust, cowardly act happened to all of you, your families. You lost your
life and they had their lives torn apart in an instant. May all of you and your families find
peace. To those that did this or had a part or have done some form of terrorism to innocent
people, my wish is that you get what you deserve. This flag flies for those who died, those
who lost a loved one and for what America stands for-- FREEDOM Richard Hardiman

i hope you get what you deserve cause God is watching
everything you do just saying
I’m a server…
delivery complete.
The machine works
like this…
”... you deserve what you get…”
”... you get what you deserve…”
Can I have the mustard please
”... care for some Catch up Sir?...”
the mustard has seeds…
Dijon… ;)
”... you don’t have yellow?...”
I asked but the cook said know.
”...you know something…”
I know that I like catch up
I like it best on a good stake
Least when the goods take… too long.
”...never hesitate…”
Please… order something.
Is the menu knew?
It is and it’s a Catch!22
“nowin”
See it as you do. ;)
You can’t serve two masters.
You have to make a choice.
One will lead you to your promised land,
The other will lead you to disaster.
Choose this day, whom you will serve?
I hope that you make the right choice,
So that you get what you deserve.

he was looking for a good time
a comparison, no long haul
and you walk away empty-handed
if searching for nothing at all
I should've known by the context
that what you said was true
putting thoughts in my head
thinking I wanted nothing too
you get what you deserve
no promises and no lies
not a complicated situation
I should have been more wise
baby, don't worry about me
I'll work it out in my head
since you were looking for nothing
that's exactly what you get
You lie your way through life,
Not caring who you hurt.
You greedy *bunny*,
I hope you get what you deserve.
You're eyes have a sign of innocence,
Although it's not at all true.
But just wait,
One day, you'll get what's coming to you.
Hit the one who gave you birth,
Yeah, that's really sweet.
Throw her against the wall
And then see who gets beat.
You touch her one more time,
And I'll show you so much pain.
I'll leave you for dead,
Laying in the rain.
You come home drunk,
Beat her, then pass out on the floor.
I hope you're ready,
Cuz one day, you'll get defeated, by the one you adore.
The reason of obsessed possession the domain of erotic shame do you regret
what you did does the emptiness haunt you the aberration of your filthy little
secret your pretty little princess your sick alter of consequence the cellar is a
reminder of daddy's fantasies. Like an addict day and night even when I put up a
fight you took my innocence for pleasure and ecstasy an item of misery as you
penetrate me am I your Delilah your unclean dream, you betray me now forsaken
for what you did to me I'm ashamed some one set me free.
Victim,mayhem,revenge,diluted.flawed,aggression,torture, a mental breakdown
universal frown I'm wounded and violated and I hate it your daughter you ruined
agonizing on the brink of no return. My scenario to watch you burn you parasite
tonight you get what you deserve I fall silent as you open the door I've had
enough I defy you this time breathing slow I end the show as you get in range I
Fire! so ends the pain.
