I walk the path of discord, shoulders hunched as I go.
I mumble the secrets of eternity into my collar as I pass you by.
You stop, thinking that maybe I called your name, but you fear to say "excuse me."
You can tell by my step and the strength of my scent that I am not one to be trifled with.
A bag...

"To Whom It May Concern"

To whom it may concern,
Your world has broken me, my back is bent double by the load.
My feet are torn and bloodied as I trudge down your winding road.
Shadowy dogs nip at my heels, driving me far past exhaustion.
The pace that you set for me leaves me no time for caution.
I have taken...

Like most people who have the misfortune to work in the public sector, I am forced to listen to constant Christmas music from the day after Thanksgiving until Dec. 26th. While trying to drown out the awful racket by thinking of good music, I came up with these alternate lyrics to Pantera's "This Love." Stupid, I know, but it passes the time.

"The Race"

We ran the distance from youth to old age, panting with the exertion, wiping sweat from our glowing brows.
Hand in hand we started the race, keeping pace with our shadows at the noon of our lives.
Sometimes I slowed my pace to stay even with you, longer legs slowing.
Other times you sprinted to catch up, short legs pumping fast.

All the...

"The Fight" by: AC

Every day, I feel the pain of your leaving.
The hole in my life proves tricky to fill.
I try to concentrate on what I am doing,
but I keep dreaming of you, still.
I just keep fighting against memories of you.

This fight I can not win.
I know that I will lose.
The agony that you've caused...

"Mistake"

You've weakened me, sapped me of strength.
Like a vampire you tasted my essence, and drank your fill.
I tried to deny you, but it did no good. You were inevitable.
Like a runaway train you crashed your way into my life, leaving wreckage in your wake.
You used me like a rapist; taking what you needed and leaving me violated.
My former life...

Recently I was laying in bed watching a movie, when I realized that I was crying. Not just a little, either; the kind you can be all macho about and throw off as just your eyes watering. No, I had real emotional tears running down my cheeks. And I'm not ashamed.

The movie was "The Color Purple." It was right at the end, when Celie's...

"Shrugged" words by: AC

God Damn You ALL!
-pause-
Can't you see what you've done to me?
Stare at what you've made me into.
I dream daily of the things...
the things that I long to do.
-pause-
The things I want to INFLICT!
-pause-
The droning, ignorant masses revel in their stupidity.
They raise their children on the shit
force fed to them thru...

Scorned: by Andrew C.

She's so beautiful.
Her smile reminds me of summer nights spent in ecstasy.
Her skin glows like the sun at sea.
Her laugh sounds sweeter than any song.

I'm so happy.

Your love takes me back to a time when life was golden.
A treasure to be kept in cupped hands, lest it escape.
Holding you is like holding a sugar-sweet...

The Meeting: by Andrew C.

SHOCK!
The perfect expression that comes with complete and utter despair is the most beautiful.
The widening of the eyes as some horrible vision rapes its way into your mind, burning the image there, forever.
The sheen of the teeth as the lips draw back from them in preparation of a scream.
The sudden darkening of the skin as blood...
