Come On

Look at me stupid thing
I have some issues
No, listen here you silence violator
Don't dare give me that look

Okay, cruel creature
Do I have to stitch to you new ears?
Are you dumbfounded by speech? 
Look, come on, 
That’s it

Stop it 
You know what
With your eyes and that ridiculous head tilt
I hate you!

You wake me 
And beg and drool
And cry like a demon
At small scratches

I should just strap you to the bed
And let some priest purify you

I feel nothing for you and your tears
So I'd like you to go
Stop your shaking 
This is the result 
Don’t you get it? 
You're at fault 

Look pretty thing 
I’m sorry
I get it now
You wind up doll
You crummy noise maker
I get it

Come on, now
You’re tasting the sea

I'll wrap you back up
And won't dare sigh
No, I won’t
When you start your chant again

Oh goodness, stupid thing 
Would you just listen to me?

A Toy's Struggle

I see you tangled on your bed 
Murmuring and chanting and tugging your hair
It would be so simple 
Why don’t you come play with me? 

Can you not remember?
Our stupid fun together
You always smiled at me
In return, I smiled for you
But all you do is stare now
It would be so simple
Just come play with me

Please, oh please
I hear those voices in my ear
As you just slam your colossal red door
And I peer over your tennis shoe
You're making me beg
Please come play with me

They’re at it again and your hair is mounds 
They argue and trample through the night 
Panicked, you trace the room
Your clumsy foot smashing my face
Just come play with me 

I can hear them shouting now
And you do just the same
Silent but for in your head
Come play with me 
 
I am disgusted by you
And forgotten by you
I want to make you still
Your strands are all over me
God, oh God, why didn't you come play with me? 

Then, oh yes, I hear your socks tug and scrap
There yells have made you bald
And I see you think
A tiny thought 
A mistake

Your crouching in front of me
Ugly grin fake on your face 
I’ll show you kindly, like you showed me
Why you shouldn't have come play with me

A Crossing

They have mentioned you to me
The white coats 
And men with needles
They say awful things to me
About you
And their disgusting words
Constantly creeping 
Internal infection 

Sometimes I feel the burn
That tugged and rubbed my palms
The rope I grip when I see you 

When the silence is screaming 
The distance outlines you dark
And I starve for contrast 
Because all that blinds me is 
White, white, white

Now I see the planks are falling 
So it is either sprint 
Fuse with you 
Find the gray 
Begin a crossing 

Or slash the ropes 
Watch the clumsy creation 
Smack, smash, and crack
On the cliff rocks

Your teeth are crooked
I always find your scratches 
Writing in my arms and legs
Those ugly pain bringers
Say I am you
And I need to end you
Talk to them about you

But I don't know you
You only spoke to me in blood
And the tears in my eyes
From the strain of the light
Is making me cross
I need to know you
And become you
So you can tell them
Why you stand there 
Grinning across the ropes
