Happy Bunnies And The Sad TomatoA blue and white screenHappy Bunnies And The Sad Tomato by ~DaveyDrayton
A display of the current scene
Friends and associates painting me a shade of green
The plans were made
Lets call a spade a spade
Tripped over a leaf and familiar faces strayed
Receiving updates
Of group hangs and intimate dates
Even a few to explain the political state of the United States
Someone has a poignant yet ultimately ignored thought
Another wants to babble about the new shoes she bought
Followed by a string of gossip surrounding the alcohol-fueled weekend wars being fought
It's intimidating
It produces self-hating
And abhorrence in the direction of a stranger's daytime activities minus the chron

Logical SubtractionOne less pair of child-slave-sewn shoesLogical Subtraction by ~DaveyDrayton
One less set of teeth
One less bottle of half-skulled booze
One less stocking on the seasonal wreathe
One less skin lined with tobacco
One less call to pick up
One less e-mail to open
One less incessant buzzing sound to shut up
One less bulb to change
One less mouth to feed
One less burden to empty your wallet
One less blind psychotic to lead
One less birthday to celebrate
22 less candles to blow out
One less wish to make
A little less muttered disappointment to spout
One less depleted soul to care for
One less prescription to fill
One less hand to drag you down
And you can sleep easy

I Am What They Have Made MeAlong the bleak banks of a desolate riverI Am What They Have Made Me by ~DaveyDrayton
Ghosts pave the way to purgatory
Hopelessness in hand, crawling on realisations command
Sink or swim, burn out or attempt and fail to understand
Open season with a target on my forehead
Dust settles and they still shine
Pleading for a return to yesterday, pleading with my previous self not to stray
Then the bullet hits, reminding me that is their fray
Words could never do it justice
Kick a broken man
Words were never spoken
The proverbial shit hits the fan
Relenting until the signs appear
Clarity creeps and thus spoke envy in it's most sickening form
Head-on contact with the conflict

Nowhere Left To RunMy melancholic natureNowhere Left To Run by ~DaveyDrayton
Wreaks havoc with my positive features
Then doubt comes alive
Panic breathes new life
And negativitys ascension
And looking down from thin wire suspension
Sometimes a man has to cry
When a man is not allowed to die
I hold no gods in my heart
Predicted smoke and mirrors from the start
So the hypocrite in me
Will never come to be
Shackles of virtue tightened by praise
Why not add another three horned bull to my malaise?
The three-legged black dogs hunger pays
In a full body ache
And all the white coats can do is wave a white flag and pin me down to a familiar daze
To gain results from tickling me a prisma

view love with your heart
place it on the mine field
lay down and regret every start
its the ones that i adore that are so brittle
i share my feelings
faking they care as i crumble
to her i didn't mean a thing
she is so self absorbed
she's not there not even listening
i am such a mess
can't find find my pieces
she walks over them
she blows them away
there's nothing to it
just a moment to care
she won't even be close and sit
she won't come around
empty inside
her heart cannot be found
she doesn't know independent doesn't mean alone
she's a whore that will satisfy the moment not her life
still feel the need to be there fo

Night-time LullabyMama sings me a soft lullabyNight-time Lullaby by ~DuseDuch
I clench her arm and my tears dry
She sings of rivers flowing surely downhill
And their mossy banks where water is spilled
Of deer finding shelter in the trees
Their brown eyes as deep as the seas
Sing, mama, sing about the wild boar
Whose tusks tremble with his loud snores
And the doves that sleep among the leaves
Their little heads tucked into their silky sleeves
Sing of mother bear that curls up with her cub
In a cool cave outside a meadow and mud
And of Mistress Night who begins her flight
Across the sky, her black dress covered with lights
Whose wolves pad out with grace
To sing and howl to her bright face
As

look up and I reach out
out loud I cry out
kneeling, I beg of you
come down and help them
do something and I might believe the lies
why do you hold back if you are wise
where are you
why have you forsaken us
hard accepting your pressence
why believe, there's nothing to show for it
nothing ever fixed, incomplete and never whole
never help us
we help ourselves
remembering all the things I've ever seen
knelt down tried to understand the reason
do not know what to do
hands pound on the floor
standing when you offered me no hand
helping when I can hardly remember being helped before
fighting when my enemy is moder
