Analysis of Oh Please!
{ Darkness caresses emotions
while roses bleed in fields,
malice flips grins of hate at love's smile;
dejected, she lies broken, on her knees,
weeping petals which blacken
as they slip toward fury released
by saturated winds of danger,
laughter flaps murder into clouds. }
Whispers: (I despise you.)
This life is useless, monotony
careens into me every time I look at you!
Why won't you crawl away and die?
Close your eyes and waste life
with a slow fall as a blade wraps
the essence of your spirit.
[ Oh please! You first. Let me watch
so I know you are doing it right.
Time has become stretched moments,
meaningless seconds attack my every move
when your ugly, battered old face
catches my eye; blinking this disgust.
I should have bought a dog,
then he could rip away your skin
with his teeth while I laughed. ]
How did I ever fall in love with you,
drunken wretch of a woman,
at least I fell out before your insanity
grabbed my experience and squeezed
until only screams of boredom were left,
oh no, sorry, I am there now!
I am glad they changed into guffaws though,
your tired bloated face is vomit-inducing.
[ My God in Heaven, save me from this fate,
I implore you. Take his spirit now please
and throw it into the fires of hell
where he surely belongs for he can't be going to you.
Let him wriggle beneath the maggots of eternity. ]
Your bitter performance will go unnoticed,
there is no room in His heart
for that constant whining high-pitched shrill
you call your delicate voice, He will be
watching stars with clouds plugged into His ears.
Here, take this poisoned look I have
and swallow it whole, don't be shy,
anyway I have to go and watch this paint dry, bye!
{Romantic scenery is shattered as the night grins,
hearts stalk cruel thoughts into the dawn
while enemies push pins into effigies. }
