You wanted me dead You loved my suicidal thoughts Now I’m bringing you down I think I’ve lost the plot Along with everything I’ve got When I close my eyes I still see your filthy lies I tried to tell you I was ill But you never listened Now you’re getting my disease I hope the cancer consumes you Like it consumed me I hope it takes over There is no cure I hope you rot in its prison Just like I did I think I’ve lost the plot Along with everything I’ve got When I close my eyes I still see those filthy lies The cancer will never give up It will leave you vulnerable and weak Don’t try to put up a fight It’s never-ending I’ll watch you crumble It will eat you alive The cancer tortured me Now it’s your turn 22nd July 2007. This one goes with ‘The Illness’, and it’s one of the longest (if not the longest) poem/song I’ve written.

Why am I your slave? Why am I in so much agony? Why do I even bother? Cut me into a million pieces Take my life away Hang me from the rope of insecurity Rip out my heart, my soul Burn out my eyes Peel off my skin Crush all my bones And go get your next slave Why am I trapped in this prison? Why am I in this cage? What drug did you put me on? Why do I feel so much pain? Why am I locked in these chains? Why do I have these scars? Why am I covered in these stains? Why do you have so much control? Why did I deserve this? Why am I so full of shit? 27th September 2007

I looked at this one the other day and thought it was slightly humourous. I don't think, when I wrote it, that I wanted it to be funny. Oh well...

You are right, you know You know which way to go This is the soundtrack of my life And you might have a wife But I have no one So my work here is done It’s for all of you to see The poor and the plenty Mind you, not everyone is as friendly As they seem Meanwhile, my life is falling apart At the seams As you play your little games And think of names For your kids And place your useless bids Please think of me Because one day you might be happy With you job, your wife And remember the soundtrack to my life 9th March 2006

Because of the title I could hear the pain of putting all of someone's energy into something that had no reward and that keeps someone desperately trapped. I also found it a creative way of saying how this gets someone into a quicksand rut.

Maybe they do, maybe they don't. Maybe the physical (external) wounds heal, but the mental (inner or psycological) wounds stay.

Here is one I wrote after I logged out of nin.com last Friday: ‘The Annulled’ I have a dull ache in my head While the world learns how to forget me And as I plunge into the watery depths I suddenly find myself... Transfixed Plummeting from my transient existence Whilst delving into a state of anathema I am trapped here in this infinite void I have failed, now to finally become nothing And I still feel this aching in my head 6th February 2009

Have you not wondered would that would be like? 10th April 2008

Here it is: ‘Abyss’ Looking down into a gaping hole Gazing into the blackened depths Thinking of a life never had And a life once lived As I stare into the abyss It stares back menacingly In mockery of myself The void dares me to look deeper To move one step closer I foolishly follow its persuasion And slip into its gaping mouth The world slowly fades into black The mouth closes to shut out all light And as I fall I remember how peaceful it is Down there 10th February 2009
