Vulture of love.

They like to run away when you get close
like roaches
scury away.
or shy little puppies.
That have been abused.
They can scream at you all they want
but you are never allowed to scream back.
Love is taking their shit
And not putting up with yours
You can cry in front of them
It's never good enough
You can take care of them
It's never good enough
feed them
Never good enough.
Don't cut yourself! Don't bleed!
Because then you will be stuck with them forever.

When she calls me baby I'm alive

A wise man once said:
"The proof of the existence of God is watching a woman ascend stairs"
I always open the door to the apartment complex for more reasons than gentlemanly.
I tingle down the spine while completely hypnotized!
All I know is...
When she calls me baby I'm alive.

She says it won't work out.
She says she's crazy
On too much medication
So?
That's 85% of this damn town.
We live on this floating insane asylum on a sponge.
We live here because it's the only place we can function.
All I know is...
When she calls me baby I'm alive.

She says we'll never make love.
We fuck till dawn
Sideways
upside down
passionately
Incredibly.
drunkenly.
Till I'm out of breath.
All I know is...
When she calls me baby I'm alive.

I want to go down in flames with her
But I'm not allowed!
I want to burn my soul into her
But I'm not allowed!
I want all her secrets spilled into a tin cup
But I'm not allowed!
I want to break down her walls
But I'm not allowed!
Storm her gates and liberate her from her demons
But I'm not allowed!
All I know is...
When she calls me baby I'm alive.

I told her I was sticking around even if the clothes don't come off
She cowers in fear when I scream at the world
Yet she's the strongest woman I've ran my fingers across
"my job is to help others yet I can't take care of myself"
So I stand by her in the depths of her madness
She was hurt last time
So was I
Maybe it's the fear of the pain that draws us together
A weaker man, would throw his hands up and walk away
She's meek as a mouse with the apatite of a lion
A sane man would leave
I am not weak and I lost my sanity years ago
All I know is...
When she calls me baby I'm alive.

There was nothing drunken bliss about it

There was nothing drunken bliss about it
It was just bliss
reliving something that died years ago
maybe were just push overs
maybe were just easy
lonely
horny
confused
scared
broken
I'm held together with super glue
you with duct tape
no wonder when we get together sticky things happen
the nakedness that follows, I will not be blamed for
just the bliss
...and maybe a few beers.

"I AM THE BEST DAMN FAILURE IN THIS TOWN!"

It was a tall mountain to fall down
dirt and blood in my teeth
but I went on
stood up
got slapped by a drunk fat woman
Told me I was no good.
"What the hell do you mean!?"
I exclaimed while spiting out teeth
I pointed to the mountain
and shouted to the top of my lungs
"I AM THE BEST DAMN FAILURE IN THIS TOWN!"

I drink from the bottle baby, just like Jesus

Whats a man to ask
a bottle of wine
drunken woman
telling me all her secrets
making me forget the other woman
and that one psycho woman
and making me forget all the fuss I've caused
noses broken friendships lost
and finding God in a nice pair of thighs
Can't help but think of Jesus and Mary Magdalene
something more happen at that well!
Any man who can turn water to wine has to be good at the art of seduction!
She tells me I make her remember how flexible she can be.
Jesus worked miracles
I only preform them thru hip gyration and heavy petting.
dear Jesus, I never cast a stone at any of the women I'm trying my damnedest to forget!
I drink from the bottle baby, like a true barbarian, sacking Rome, while taking all your goods.
Jesus will forgive me.
I pray.
