Hey now ...

Hey now ...
Hit a nerve, strike a chord
Did I challenge your soft underbelly?
Retort, touché, I'm bored
- Nonchalant rasp, your punch lands like jelly

Overdefensive and underendowed
Chip on your shoulder, the real you enshroud
Hey now ... somehow ...
I'll get by ... not knowing why

Hey now ...
Assuming I'm plaything
Sugar talk me, shall I play it stupid?
Mélange drama you bring
- Quiver of arrows but you're not Cupid

Feign like a selfie, meme-masochistic
I'll pass on tempt, (edit) euphemistic
Throw me to the wolves and I'll lead the pack
Your grey is prey, I'm fifty shades of black

Attitude adjustment
Karma kiss abundent
Hey now,... from me to you

Oblivion

Unseen, unheard, you have unblessed
Uncare, undo, unfeel, take back
And I, spun to numb netherworld
Chasms of fire, unloved to black

I am a ghost, most broken soul
Hard reality delivers
Only few fragments spiral down
Gyring, abysmal slivers

Low, the Hell is vexed far from blaze
Ungrace, unaccept, Stygian
Every dream bids nightmare scream
Mid mind-bending oblivion

I am a ghost, dead to your life
We unbelong, unshare, unbond
What jagged shards are memories
Unwanted, unmattering,... gone

Flames do not surge upon a lake
Heart-whole purge was fatal mistake
I am condemned, this realm won't wake
Sunless, moonless and no unbreak
(and no unbreak, and no unbreak)

Fangs

Oh, maybe I won't name names
But I'll use two quills as fangs
Perhaps a smidge, yin and yang
Bright, white page with night, ink stain
Bloodwell drops, penned sorrows rain
Sweeter morrows, be my gain
Light and dark, come kill the pain
