Left in the lurch

Left in the lurch

A Poem by Phillip J Clayton

Her eyes...

those dark black eyes.

 

sultry becomes her,

the dark queen's true form,

can't take my eyes off.

 

Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest

feel like dying, feeling alone,

feel like crying - breakng down.....

 

Feel life slipping away, a body full of empty

feel like lying inside a grave,

listen to the euology of another as they fade away,

dance with the devil as she whispers pain...

 

Do you believe in me?

Enough to betray your family?

Do you believe in me...

For the first time I feel close to god,

I am on top of the world - I'm still drowning....

 

Dead inside!

I'm dead inside!

I am flith!

you don't know what's like,

to be dead inside!

 

Go away...

demon let me be,

wish that this would all just go away....

just go away.

Dead inside, dead inside,

dead inside, 

I'm dead....

 

Sarcastic taste for moral restraint

I think I'd rather die,

always wanting - pondering,

depressed - diseased,

need something to justify.

 

Numb and shivering

Blood dripping skin

psychopathic - razor crawling through veins

she sticks her finger in.

 

I cannot stop this rage,

through the eyes of a criminal,

the body is like a prison,

only death can save me from this hell.

 

Walking on broken glass,

she gave me a garden,

and pissed on my roses,

a chain link fence with a white smile,

this pain will last forever.

 

Watch the sun disappear

Persistent with precision,

I must become the beast,

demon scars - menacing.

 

Terrorizing, manipulating,

she closes in - I am weak,

I will become dust,

impending doom,

pitch black with no escape, 

evil rises, die in her name.

 

 

Rotting in this cell,

corpse like a prison,

jagged blades ripping flesh,

dear god is this a test?

 

 

Her eyes...

those dark black eyes.
