Living Alone, I Bemoan

This living alone

This living alone I bemoan

To wake up

To open my eyes and be…alone

That empty feeling

That rush of panic

Upon my eyes opening

I look and then I see

No one there

As if no one cares

This living alone

This living alone I bemoan

All of this space

Not a person in my face

While awake it feels good

Upon waking up

A different mood

Oh, this living alone

This living alone I bemoan

Too old to live with family

Way beyond the roommate stage

I enjoy my freedom, my space

But this living alone

This living alone I bemoan

A Scary Thought

I thought I would die at work tonight

It was really, really scary

I thought I would die at work tonight

The situation was kind of hairy

I just started this job last week

Working factory security

But tonight, my outlook was rather bleak

In all honesty, the situation was just absurdity

I thought I would die at work tonight

Or at least deal with an active shooter

Thank God it did not come to that

I just had to type on a computer

I know I blew it out of proportion

I was never truly in danger

But these days you never know

The thoughts of any stranger

I thought I might die tonight

I prayed and prayed and prayed

God came through and answered my prayers

None of them were delayed

Maybe from now on I should relax

And not be so uptight

But always on guard I shall be

Ready for any fight

Hangry and Tired

I wish my boss would be found dead

Want to shoot him in the head

Want to punch him in the throat

Take his money and buy a boat

Open the register with a crowbar

Steal the money and fix my car

But then really I don’t see the need

After all, I’m management

I could use my key

I really wouldn’t do any of this

All these things are just a wish

I really mean to do no harm

I hope I didn’t cause alarm

Maybe I should eat some food

It might even fix my mood

I think I might go back to sleep

So please, please, don’t make a peep

A Deep, Dark Void

I’ve got a deep, dark void

Down in my heart

Deep in my soul

God, come and fill it

I just want to feel whole

I’ve got a deep dark void

Deep in my Spirit

So silent, yet so loud

I can almost hear it

It says to me, “You suck”

I just want to give up

Part of me doesn’t give a fuck

God, drive it out

Make me want to shout with glee

Even if this is my final plea

I may not have done well

But I’ve done my best

Please, make me Blessed

I don’t want to burn in Hell

Please, don’t leave me behind

When it comes my time

When I leave this Earth

I want to shine!

In All of God’s Creation

Does anyone really have time for me

In all of God’s Creation?

I’m not exactly suicidal

I just feel so alone

And I’m having ideations

I won’t do anything to myself

I promise, for my dog needs me

He loves me so much, he counts on me

He always tries to please me

Does anyone really have time for me

In all of God’s Creation?

I’m having a really bad day

I’m struggling today

But it’s just in moderation

Does anyone really have time to talk

Over the phone or on a walk?

Does anyone care?

Is anyone there?

In all of God’s Creation?

Oh, Doggo-Man

Oh doggo-man, Oh doggo-man

You fill me with such joy

I love to watch you run around

And play with all your toys

Oh doggo-man, Oh doggo-man

You are with me every day

Even on my worst days

You love me anyway

Oh doggo-man, Oh doggo-man

You are starting to get old

But even after you pass on

My heart will always hold

Oh doggo-man, Oh doggo-man

The time is drawing near

I don’t know how I will survive

It will require lots of beer

Oh doggo-man, Oh doggo-man

I would bring you much fine wine

If it meant you could stay with me

Until the end of time

Honestly Broken

You’re fat, bald and ugly

You’re not getting any younger

You crave success, knowledge, and wisdom

Yet you do nothing to satisfy your hunger

The way you waste opportunities

It’s the worst kind of extravagance

You loathe yourself

For good reason

And the way you treat your body, it’s almost treason

Big Mike, just go to bed

Lie down and rest your weary head

The mind says “No! I cannot rest!

For my stomach churns, and my heart beats out of my chest!”

Big Mike, just let her go!

You know she’s nothing but a God Damned Hoe!

Oh, but no. I love the hoe, you see?

Can’t you see what she means to me?

I know I’m crazy. I should let things lie

But without her, my heart feels like it has died

The knife plunges into my stomach, deeper and deeper

I wish things could be different, that I could keep her

She’s no good for me, nor I for her

I believe “Toxic” is the word

So now, I bid thee adieu

Happy trails, to you, and you, and you

For the Love of Lourdes

God, I love her, I love her so much

But I’m afraid this love is one I cannot touch

My love burns for her

My body yearns for her

But I must stay away

For how long? Who knows?

Maybe until my dying day

My love for her grows

But fear I do not show

Fear I do not feel

This love, this pain, is surreal

This love, it mustn’t be

God, I’m on bended knee

Begging, asking, God, fix this please!

I miss her so much

I long for her touch

To see her beautiful face

To feel her warm embrace

Should I try to move on?

I’ve got to be strong

It’s only her love that I want to know

But, with every second the pain grows

Maybe one day, we will be together again

Until then, it will never end

This pain I feel

So real

So strong

So long…
