This one's for you.
It's a heavy load hauling the debris of hatred. I know you come here to find it.
I've piled it in the field
where you'll find my forgiveness.
Carrying the carnage of revenge.
Rotten flesh and nasty shoes
I shake off what I can and leave the rest for you.
Ravens, crows and those turkey vultures make easy friends but
they'll see right through that hole in your chest.
Locked in the attic
there was plenty of time to own an emotion so
thick
so toxic
so pathetic
it manifested in you
on the other side of the door
and he died
suffering. So will you.
My fingers bleed
roasted seed
scorched on the rocks of your hallow ground.
My intention. No.
your assumption is bloating
an ego so fat
to assume you know what I meant somehow it was all about you.
No intentions to deceive
although it may be perceived that it was my default all along. Because you deserved it.
God worked it that way with the help of the trees, doors and signs on the wall, a stupid picture to ink on your arm.
So many out there, I feel you lurking.
It would humor you to know
that I'm still taking risks
and failing like I did with you.
And you
and you
and you.
But I've won the grand prize
I've never assumed I know what anything is.
Well, maybe gravy.
I know what gravy is.
Ya need a lot of shelves....saving all those jars
scraping labels for new names.
Fill them with moonshine
top them off with lentils
or crushed egg shells.
Save everything
even the bones.
Skeletons of your lies, dried hanging in the tree.
I've crushed the memories like brittle bones to sprinkle on my garden.
to keep the lizards away.
Save everything even your clothes. Save everything even your hair.
so I can spell bind you as I sit there
in your head where I've been forever
for some reason. You left me alone but won't let me go
and you come here looking.
You burden me
same with you
same with you and you
you burden me
no one intention was ill willed for you
but it was my default and all your fault for projecting your evil my way.
I drove over your burden like a speed bump but can't help but look back and want to relive,
to better understand what a complete jerk you are.
Took another shot at the target with that old 12 gauge. I hit it every time
but that once when I missed.
