Here's "I Was His Slave". It's my baby.
He bound and gagged me
Tied me to the chair
Then he walked away
Leaving me in hunger and pain
He ruled me.
I could only eat when he let me,
Drink when he offered water,
Walk when he took me out of the chair
Bound to his wrist when we went out
I could not speak to anyone
Without his permission
If I so much as smiled
and waved to my best friend
It was a federal crime
If he wanted something from me
I had to give it to him
No matter what the price
One day, he handed me a knife
and said "Here, do what you will with it."
I aimed for his heart, and hit it dead-on
No blood gushed out
He didn't fall
He simply smiled his wicked smile and said
"I am immortal, I am all-encompassing.
You cannot wholly escape me
For I can't let you out of my sight
No matter how hard I may try."
I thought a bit, then realized
That sadly, his words were true
So rather than try to kill him again
I cut the ropes binding us
And then I ran.
Halfway 'round the world I ran
On the joy of never seeing him again!
Through city, farm, mountain, even ocean
I neither noticed nor cared where I ran
Every so often, he calls or sends an e-mail
Just to keep in check, he says
And I always answer, whether i want to or not
For as he said, I can't escape
And guess what?
He calls you too.
Maybe you were enslaved once
Or maybe you are and you just can't see
He has infinite names
In every tongue
For if you don't have to be bound to his will
You must be God
Or maybe Satan
Maybe you know him as Fear
Maybe Doubts or Pessimism
To you, he could simply be Shyness
Or perhaps you know him better as Hate
No matter how you see him
Find the knife, and take it
For you shouldn't be that close. |

He wasn't.
Pyromania Arsen
burning black
paper coffins bleached blue
In his kindergarten classroom
At the tender age of two
Round the witching month
A couple days, beyond the witching hour
Wishing...
"Just a second, I'm not done yet, and I've yet to find my lighter"
convoluting lies and lies to reach
The effervescent sunrise
that he'd never really grasped
the fire... was his friend.
frightened him [étoile]
it looked like mirror glass
in his space galactica eyes that
told him, in more words than a thousand and fewer sounds than muted birds
He never had a reflection anyways
He'd always applied the mascara looking through to mid air.
Funny boy. |
