My being a failure to communicate - a nonconformist - is why I look up to those who challenge the hypocrisies and injustices of the world, e.g. Princess Diana, who I like to think of as Queen Diana, chose being Real, sincere, and helpful to others; rather than succumb to the pressures of the public, the Monarchy and the Royal Family. Although I miss her and I love her, Heaven has gained an Angel...

 

Keep it in the family 

incest is best...  
at least that's what my sister said 
 

What 

Oh, I'm sorry did you say something?

Okay 

While sleep numbs my pain away 
everything you do or say I say okay 
& although I give it my all 
there's nothing I can say 
am I just a string along or would you 
like me to stay 

either way 
it's just another day 
I say okay  
 

Do you love me 

I love you do you love me 
I love you do you love me 
I love you do you love me 

I love you 
do you love me..?  
 
 

I'm Dead 

I might not be the prettiest 
but I have to stay the skinniest  
why must I be happy by torturing 
myself for someone else's pleasure 
& yet enjoy it 
the feeling of intoxication, starvation, of 
repressing myself 
it seems so justifiable...  
and since all my life has been melancholy 
it is something I should get used to 
by now 
it will never change...  
of all the things I dreamt for  
happiness 
nature 
it has never found me 
so I remain...  
until death 

(Sad)ist 

Love all you brought me was pain 
now I am a (Sad)ist 
it brings me joy to watch you pain 
I want to touch you & watch you die slow 
for you can't love me I know no love I 
let it go 

You'll just please, on your knees, before I let you 
leave & at ease yourself stomach first on the  
bed enough said I got my cuff's & whips I hope 
you got your tips 

slash 1, slash 2, slash 3, don't you feel like a slave 
being beat on a tree 
I'll tell you when I'm ready to cut your strings 
but until then I'm in control you'll answer to  
my every ring 

aren't you happy pleasing me 
for don't you know...  
I LhOaVtE you
