Some where in the the depths the United Sadness of America

I dedicate this poem to Erik, where ever he may be. The following is a true story of my first and only three-dimensional infatuation.


Until you set me free

He went by Lucifer half the time
I never wondered why
My love for him a viscous crime
Fall asleep and let me cry

Nuclear neon brain violence
Glow in the dark stars
A snore that breaks silence
Black light room with prison bars

You had a never-ending quest
To find the newest drug
I immediately put my search to rest
In your insufficient hug

You always loved to watch me bleed
Bamboo inflicted once
It's on the wall for all to read
Your scar I wore for months

Still I saw something nice
Through every twisted flaw
But to you my love had a price
It was against the law

The countless days we spent together
A long journey to the end
I thought our friendship would last forever
At least I could pretend

Outside your window I sleep all night
After breaking mine
I had a dream that all was right
But things stayed forever never fine

Now you're gone and won't return
And I hope you never will
The past is gone I let it burn
The void I can not fill

I hate you now I hope you know
It wasn't meant to be
This animosity will forever grow
Until you set me free

god speaks to us in numbers."
