 love is the dishes

sometimes it will make me mad

but i always will

The Manipulator

she didn't always cry
when she drank
but
she always drank

i
only drank when she drank

and sometimes she cried

sometimes it was because she remembered something from her past that hurt

sometimes it was because i was punishing her
for something she remembered

tears fell from her eyes like rebel angels
and i welcomed her with a blanket
crucified monster
the beast's never-ending feed
prayers of its prey
maniacs of peace
burn the world down with their love
cruel empathy

The Majesty

where others see graves
i see castles

a benevolent kingdom of death

devoured by the soil
the maggots and the worms

finally
all are treated equally 

this destiny, hell
narrow paths of certainty 
one tunnel of choice
