Gnashing teeth
I feel like gnashing teeth
and gnarled gashing
claws
I feel like ripping things
that rip at things
and fire burning hot
Monstrously angry
die die die
The seed of a devilish
fury-
born in a
lie lie lie
Slowly waking up to an addiction
It's been so long my friend
So very long since I have known this craving
It seemed strange to me to be shut off from you for so long at first
And odd that we should meet again like strangers
Almost as though I didn't know what to do with you when we were face to face
But we are warming up to one another again
I am getting that itch when I am without you
That mad desire to keep going whatever the cost
At the risk of hunger, of sleep deprivation at the risk of time spent in social pursuits lost
I'm PAYING for this and careless of the cost
Ahhh, Education..you ARE the boss
Wanted to help
You can't help a shadow
When someone is busy hiding
from themselves
You'll never get them to step
into the light to see what is there
I like the Darkness
it shelters me too
But I can't ignore the light
It's too damned bright
And frankly my friend,
neither can you
