to hell with the service
  of the world
to hell with the 
  streets of gold

i want true loves kiss
  i want forever after
fuck the
  an harm none

is not the lack-there-of
  harm enough?
does my pain 
  count for nothing with you?

can you not see the torment
  of my twisted soul?
dont you care
  how MY life is?

where's the peace?
  where's prosperity?
how does someone like me
  find happiness in THIS life?

when the soul's burnt, the
  heart is numb?
tell me this!
  tell me...

YOU who claim creation
  why is my life hell?
while others mature 
  into grace-

why am i but Dust
  And they are gems?

8/12/98
 



Return to the shadows
of my soul.


All who enter here... die with me.
