Skin

I almost felt you
for a minute
Before the rush hit me full force
and your face became blurry
and all the aches in my heart decided
to quiet down

Ike and Tina

His touch was like a spark to my dead battery
which was funny
because he hurt me silly
and showed me what "Battery" was.
Having seen it as a child, thinking
"ma's really weak, but I still love Daddy, maybe
ma has to stop being so weak"
And after I experienced the same
my oppinion didn't change.

No Pain

I remember saying never
It was for simple reasons
I was scared of missing the vein
I saw a friend do that once
and her hand blew up
like a hot air balloon

We both thought it was funny

After that I did it and had better luck.

From a Distance

I can see them from a distance
The truth is hazy from where I'm standing
it's a much better view from here

Take a Number

Write your name
Take a seat
wait your turn
I stare at the clock
Not good
I tell them I'm running verrrry late
I smile so wide when I say this
I can feel the corners of my mouth crack
... wonder if they're bleeding.
The look I receive in return is something like sympathy mixed with puke
I take a seat and wait what feels like an eternity
They don't care...
because they know I'm the
one who always will .

Make It Legal

It's sad it's considerered wrong
Ok,
it's more than sad it's just tragic
Something that can make life just go away
not just pain
but life
And life can be horrible
And beautiful
but it's best to just avoid it all
and go through the motions 
the kisses
the holding
the punching
the scolding
The only time I felt
on that wonderful STUFF
was when my eye were shut
and the things I felt were better than
life can ever be 
and I experienced them with the people,the way I wished the could be
I could of stayed like that all day
but I had to head to Brooklyn
to scrub more than a few bucks
to get some more of that beige beauty
gift wrapped in wax
paper, with a stamp on it
A message from my lover?
Or just another man who makes a living
by selling death?
Can't blame a man for making a living.

I was inside some fast food joint
in a bathroom stall with a person
who was at sometime a friend
who was now a robot who hung with
 my robot self.

I wondered
5 years later...
Why did I ever give it up?
Now I am no longer just going through
the motions.
I actually have to feel the emotions that
come with the motions,
I just want to feel that damn feeling
I just don't understand what
stops me?
It sure aint love
or fear
Maybe I was just tired of scrubbing money
in 100 degree weather...
yes, thats probably it.

Of Course

the look he gave me 
made me want to 
taste everything
even if that meant
getting killed

he was the gasoline to my careless cigarette

What I Tell Them

I tell them the truth
in a way
that seems 
like something they can relate to

Kerosene With a Match

They woke up
worried
What the other thought
They kissed eachother clean
during the early morning hours
They looked at one another
and felt a pang through their bodies

their eyes were filled with blood
when they looked at one
another

They went back to bed
Entangled bodies
that love
Nobody
