"Dysfunction & Disarray"
1.
Once there was a boy
He was born out of love
He grew to not fit in
He was raised into hatred
Then there was a girl
She defined his entire world
2.
Misery loves company
Together they danced
on a trail of ashes
singing songs of destruction
Dysfunction and disarray
were the only words they knew
3.
The drugs flourished
in this lifestyle
of death & defiance
Nothing stood in their way
as they kicked spiderwebs
into windows
4.
When he got sad
he cried & vented
Drinking when he was sad
she resented
the way he balled on the street
for everyone to see
5.
He was sensitive
a poet to be
She was wild
He had an itch
only she could scratch
because there was nothing else
6.
Nothing else in the world
could satisfy this kid
& his lust for violence
Girls just bored him
in their fancy clothes
and their high-end makeovers
7.
When they met
they fell
down a hole of mayhem
a void that devoured
their hearts replaced
with precious nothingness
8.
The boy could not
escape the life
no matter how much he trotted
the other way
She tried to escape
but he always pulled her back in
9.
Then he killed her
spirit with a switchblade
sliced through the rubber
holding them together
They parted for a very,
very long time
10.
They got together again
but she was better now
She was in school
trying to do it differently
When they finally spoke
his head was heavy as a bag of rocks
11.
His eyelids were sinking
into a river of euphoria
His love was back in his life
He tried to do it for her sake
She didn’t love him
in this way though
12.
He wasn’t crazy
anymore the slashes of their love
grew like moldy dew
as he became a better man
He grew up
but she was stuck
13.
She felt nostalgic
of a life once lived
She started again
They fought when they spoke
She was out of control
He said he couldn’t do it no more
14.
His itch was withering away
Their love became a demon
of the past
of a life never forgotten
which he has outlived
but she will remain in that place
15.
They spraypainted every church
in the city
the night they fell in love
but then he met someone
who cared for him
and loved him the way he was
16.
It took a long time
but here he is
A veteran of war an expert
of self-destruction
He stole his soul back
from the devil
