my emotions
you control them
my desires
you contain
my inhibitions
you have found a way of making me insane
pieced together
like a puzzle
on a leash made just for me
use your words, just like a muzzle
only mine, can set me free
beaten
like the batter
on the cake you then destroyed
play with me like a viper
or a child's broken toy
how much longer
- you will tell me
till I am able to explain
have me begging for a fix
like you're the needle in my vein
cold sober
now, I find me
all alone
left on the street
where peace and anguish fit together
making my puzzle piece complete

Trusting The Senses
A stale smell floats through the air cherry red - lights up the dark Nobody said that life was fair and here's the hardest part You feel every last betrayal, in all parts of your being everything you hear or smell, taste everything you're feeling You never need to use your eyes to see what's happening discards you for a new fix- like that cigarette he's dragging The ashy smell burns in your mind, as the vapors leave a trace what he's left behind has left a trail running down there, on your face The cigarettes he burned through, wore a danger on its label he needs one that reads, "beware" - he'll break you too, if he is able Your heart gapes like a cut, with no blood to leave it's mark he hurt you deep inside, with a bite worse than his bark Once you shake off that mistake, and get your armor put back on he'll be the one regretting when he sees that you are really gone Learn to listen to your body, it has your best at heart the senses will protect you - cause you're a priceless work of art So, when that devil comes a calling, let your senses be your guide they will warn you of the risks and keep your threats identified

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
