And if just stopped breathing..
would the pain fade?
and that remains the same..
since happiness is fleeting state..
And all I need to continue my days..
little trivals burn away..
all the things I wanted to say..
pleasure from pain is not an equal trade
and something was lost when I went sane..
the wildness inside should never be tamed..
when its dies, life ceases to be a game..
and sticks and stone are made made of word..
and nothings the thing the hurts the most..
that emptiness seems to fill inside..
shafts of anguish gain wit..
sharping those spear like words..
and rotting beast, that you killed to be..
what some else said you should...
possess a name scrawl acrossed it's chest..
not to look, you do your best..
after awhile...with nothing inside
your thirst for that sin no loger hides..
reading each letter reverently..
discovering your own brainwashed mind..
how to deal with the comming rage..
it excapes your..
and that void is no loger there..
the beast you killed rises again
though it seems to be the same..
its undead will shall you rend
itself is true unto itself..
no loger shall that beast be free..
and so it seems..
hat no one can help...
that ever lost true me...

------------------
For a fateful night of passion, since my heart need one last vent, I believe I am willing to pay that black widows rent...

Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.

The beast lurks within us all, but is only part of the true self. His rage is worst upon those who try to deny his existence, still there is no taming. Good poem. Had me scratching at my chest.

He grew away from old associations and saw something new in life and humanity. Secondarily, he made close acquaintance with phenomena which he had before known but darkly - the seasons in their moods, morning and evening, night and noon, winds in their different tempers, trees, waters and mists, shades and silences, and the voices of inanimate things.
