Hammer nine inch nails into my temples
And I'll choke down cold coffee
The sea for cigarette butt boats floating and ashes
Stale vodka breath and far away eyes
Can't afford bail and the toilets clogged again
Idiocity-call me racist, I hate your culture
Fuck you, die
Stale generic cherrios
Honey rings
and yellow sour milk
For my cold coffee
Curdled clumps floating with bits of tobacco
Stained mattress
Dirty sheets
The bathtub serves as a womb for mold
Growing and flourishing
I hate you all
You did this
He did this
So I'll just lie here for a while
And let it slip away
I can't bear to think
Anymore, please close the curtains
And put that gun back in the dresser drawer
The third from the bottem
Flush the crack down the toilet
no, wait, nevermind
WHERE'S MY FUCKING COFFEE?
WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?
--you don't have one
BRING HER TO ME
--you don't have any children
BRING ME MY FUCKING DAUGHTER OR ELSE I?LL SHOOT YOU
--you don't have any goddamn children
DON?T YOU DAMN MY CHILDREN
GIVE ME MY GUN
I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU
I'M GONNA SHOOT YOU TWICE AND CUT YOUR THROAT
THEN
THEN
THEN I'M GONNA KILL YOU
--goodbye
FUCK YOU
YOU DID THIS
--sweet dreams................
No wait, please don?t leave
Don't leave me again
I'm scared
--you?re a mess, pathetic

I don't want to sleep, they'll take me
I'll just slip away
Drown into the cold black liquid
In the cup before me
Cigarette stentch in my hair
Stale vodka breath and dirty sheets
Soiled mattress
Cold coffee....

'Drown into the cold black liquid' If Jim Morrison, Trent Reznor & William Burroughs created a new born poet, this poet would be you. Very original style; great piece!

i think you couldn't have made a more accurate comment. a nice blend of burroughs, reznor, and morrison indeed. this poem describes, a little, how i've been feeling recently. i loved this. ....-samone
