Parasite

Look what you've done to me
Changed me
Sculpted and moulded me
To a point where I no longer see myself
But myself in your image

You're a parasite inside me
Controlling my thoughts
Bringing me in to the dark
Feeding of my sadness
Sucking the life out of me

You're the stranger in the alleyway
Dark and haunting
Plunging you're control into my stomach
My wounds bleed black
You watch and laugh

You're the reason yet you're the cure
A friend and also foe
Can't live with or without you
I've grown to your grip
Without it around me would be alien

No, I need rid of you
Be gone retched parasite!
I bandage my blackened wounds
Pick myself up, head high, shoulders back
And move on

Crash Mat

You were there to catch me To cushion my fall When he pushed me of the cliff. But now you've fallen too And I'm not there to help you. I won't be, I can't be even of I wanted to.

Pilate

I step into the shower, Trying to wash your trace off Even after months, But no amount of physical cleansing will purge you from my mind. The boy who threatened suicide when I left.

Two Little Girls

Two little girls played quite differently, As one was quiet, reserved, The other balshy. The bruises were hidden under jumpers pulled down, While the girls looked at each other with disgusted frowns.

My Organ

Open my chest and rip it free, Hold it, in your hands, the life of me. Pull it out and squeeze it tight, Ignore the pleas, the cries of my plight.

Gossip.

I heard. That that the witch was dead. But that evil bitch is still in my head. I try to be an honest man But I've got blood on both my hands. I can't run and I can't hide.
