my foot hurts
the blood splurts
who broke the mirror
I shed a tear - or
mayhap I killed someone;
kicked butt, chewed gum
starred in my own life
wishing for a good wife
how I hate the poor
the unglamorous, and more
If only they all could see
unrestrained, and yet not free
Ah, life, she is a bitch
or my lover, I know not which
A frosty brew yot lost its head
mocking the love now thought dead
But low, what yonder flies?
tis it the fire once in your eyes?
a fleeting bandage for my soul
Death comes at last, I must pay the toll
a drip, a drop, and down the drain
I live not longer; tis a shame
allow me now to lament
For my life was so misspent
now gone, my chance to dance
between the sheets, a short romance
My thirsts, they remain unquenched
alone and lost, my thoughts are drenched
with love and want and words unsaid
all are lost, my life has fled
The throbbing of pain now has stopped
this floor now red I had once mopped
I see my shell upon the floor
in pool of red by unopened door
spiraling toward warming light
surrender now to mine night
