I invited myself to be a lull on my front porch
with squesky boards I tell myself to replace
Everytime I have company.
I sit in the shade and calm myself
with coffee and a cigarette
I didn't always give my mind this much thought
When my laundry is done,
I'll call a friend'
read a book,
write a poem about a prick like you
If I didnt find all these things to do
I would be crushed
under the pressure
of you crushing me
I should have known something was wrong,
when I woke up at 4;03 am
and started counting coffee stains on the rug
I got so pissed
I lost count and had to start again
Last week I noticed the cat moved out,
taking her favorite squeak toy,
leaving nothing but the litter for me
that kinda reminded me of YOU
I listen to you scream
my hand grasping the doo
fearfully finding its handle
my knuckles turning white
in my head voices screaming with fright
Standing firmly with my back to the wall
Refusing to fall , deny you pleasure of seeing me crawl
outside the wind is screeching
splattering rain against the window pane
adding to the disturbance in my mind
Silence slaps me in the face
hearing only the rushed pace
of you tearing across the the room
prying my hand finger by finger, from the door
hearing only the lonely sound of the rain
slowly going insane
laying there , on a cold hard floor
fighting no more
half slain
my only friend is the rain
only she shares my defeated pain
(perreault)
Have you ever felt alone
not even the brightest diamond in the world
could shine out all the doom
A room full of the finest things
Yet all you hear is silence
Fading footsteps
Angry words slapped across your face
Your dress shining in the faded candle light
Such a beautiful sight
nothing you could say would make it right
Have you ever felt alone
Knowing your pain could never be shown
Slowly the hours pass by
Inside your dreams decay and die
Sileence is broken
as you hear his footsteps
stumbling down the hallway
Without making a sound you turn on your side
knowing all along he has lied
He lays down facing your back
You pretend to be asleep
as her perfume sickeningly suffocates the room,
choking back your tears,
Have you ever felt alone
Her eyes, the color of wet pavement,
So cold, so empty, so close to death,
Still hold one glimmer of lifeAs they stare from above the nose,
Slipknot close to the skin of her neck,
Rickety chair unbalanced beneath her toes,
Flesh clammy and wet, hair unkempt and filled with sweat
Around her throat, she grasps the constricting cord,
Her hands shaking with indecision and fear,
Yet, the act is so simple, so clear
Eyes, once full of shimmering hope,
Now glanceing up at the knotted rope,
Are only filled with tears,
Her lifes a debt she cannot afford
With one deep inhaled breath,
Placing her hands across her breasts,
Eyelids blocking the light from the room,
Teeth bared, gaining strength,
Nails cutting through her palms,
Blood dripping to the floor,
Her feet rock the chair until it tumbles.
She falls, bones in neck breaking loose,
Arm jerks, thumping against her side,
Life and Death at once collide,
Face lackluster and grey
Rope rubs plank, starting to fray,
Barren, Blank and opened wide
Her eyes stare nowhere from above the noose
