the Phoenix Couple - JLG Clift

The worthless drones

From hopeless homes

Chant pointless lines

In perfect time

They mourn for her

The heartless whore

It makes my fucking stomach stir

I’m all alone

No fucking home

No fucking land

To hold my hand

No country song

To chant along

WITH THEM

She broke my heart

The fucking tart

The fucking cheek

To fucking speak

She sits and cries

Spills fucking lies

Into my ears

Sheds crock skin tears

Onto my bed

Into my head

She can’t be here

She’s fucking dead

WITH THEM

It’s gone to shit

The lot of it

I’m looking down

From higher ground

Watch you leave

In fucking heaps

Hit the ground

No fucking sound

Just fucking mounds

And fucking mounds

And I am not

WITH THEM

The last man stands

On no man’s land

No one to hold

His fucking hand

I look the wreck

Too lost to check

The fucking text

Upon the screen

If I had

I would have seen

The last words she

Fucking said:

‘I wish you’d all

Drop fucking dead

I cannot take

You in my head

I shall not die

I shall not wed

The fucking man

In the fucking sand

Proclaiming his love

Unto the land

I cannot stand

I cannot stand

The nicest souls

Meant for mine

They think I am

So fucking divine

I’m not I’m not I’m not

That girl

I do not take the bitter

World with virgin eyes

And a tender mind

All I see is

Fucking lies

And fucking lies

And fucking cheats

And fucking freaks

I cannot take

This fucking heat

I cannot stand

I cannot stand

Get out of the

fucking Sand

You Loathsome Man

I do not wish

To live my life

With you in this

Fucking land

Nor fucking here

Nor fucking there

Or mother-fucking anywhere

I merely want

To eek along

I do not care

For your fucking songs

And sugared words

And infant eyes

You’re fucking great

I’m fucking lies

Bravo

Congrats

Surprise Surprise

You make me feel

This fucking way

There's nothing left

To fucking say

I cannot stand

I cannot stand

Don’t try to hold

My fucking hand

Leave me on

The fucking track

I want this world

To fade to black’

She falls into

The fucking pit

With every other

Piece of shit

There is no smile

Upon my face

In fact I feel

A fucking disgrace

I blame myself for

The fucking girl

Who shed those words

To burn the world

To burn my heart

And singe my soul

Make my thoughts

As black as coal

I want to dive in

To this fucking hole

But there’s no room

For me to loom

To fall into

My fucking doom

No fucking room

For timely demise

I walk the world

Her fucking lies

The only words

Inside my head

shadow vultures
pick the dead

but one amoung
glows cherry red

the Phoenix burning
feathers churning
on the winds flailing
her body failing
the rot scaling
the wings
strips the feathers
from the bones
she cries above
the constant yearning
never learning
i don't care

Anymore

she can scream
her rouge throat raw
until she falls
into the hole
her body burned
red turns to coal

and she does
and she has

And now she laughs

Down in the pit

For leaving me

This heap of shit

And I am trapped

WITH HER

WITH
NO ONE

WITH HER
