Absent Minded
Who killed thePhoenix
I died today
The blood stained the streets,
I rotted away in the sun
mangled in a pile.
I rememeber it
The way he shot me in the face
spit on my back
and then walked away
nonchalant and innocent,
like i had it coming.
I had it coming , yeah
i had escaped the dungeon for this.
i had wrtestled with the words long enough
to die again today
to long for the cemetary and be placed in the jaws
of my lonely grave.
I died today
the day i was born this morning,
the sun soaked up the sweat left opn my brow
and the blood drained into the streets
congealed to dry
he must have had it coming
said the officer at the scene of the crime
and i remeber it like it was yesterday
even though i died tonight.
I read your words
and they consumed me
your craftsmanship evaded my questions
and this provoked me
I put the book down and the gun was in my face
we went outside danced in the lights of the stars and street lights
and then he shot me
and i died.
The pin stripes
the top hat
this meant nothing.
The engagement ring, the letter to myself
the judgement day should never have looked like this
and thats how it happened
the last dance
my dieing wish fulfilled
nothing made sense
nothing mattered
no rage.
just sadness
total obliovion
he did not know who i am
I am the phoenix
I will wake up tomorrow
and I will be back.
choking on the ashes of an unkept promise
I will be bragging the compromises to you my dear
I will be throwing the flames from my mouth this time areound
I will be painting memories for us to part
I died today differet from all the others
but this matters not to me
with no secrets left to tell.
I died today
will diue again tomorrow
i am used to it
it hurts this way
but im starting not to mind.
You will die today
I have learned I will avenge my death
I have learned to survive
I have learned to delved deeper into your everyday
and pull out your soul
rip it to shreds and gnash my teeth
tear you to bits
pull me from you
pull me from you
it means nothing
I'm trying to tell you
I'm fine today
but was reborn today
Numb
