Array ( [sid] => 36526 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => he is not like you or i [time] => 2004-02-27 01:03:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => he's got dirt in his mouth
and his eyes are fading death
his fingers are slim slivers of suicide
and everything he says
is something he said before

he's not like you or i
he's not like anything
he'd like to tear it all away
he'd like to finish everything

his words are waves on darkened shores
where bloated bodies come to rot
he walks alone
from here to there
because he doesn't belong
anywhere

he's not like you
he's not like me
he's nowhere that you'll ever be
for his roads are all inside a mind
that sanity has left behind

his teeth are rage
his face is hate
he eats the colors like a Void
to spit rainbows of agony

he's never near, but he's never far
he's closer than you think
his stars are pretty stabwounds
in the back of god and government
he's lost his mind, it's plain to see
and he wants to be your friend

he is not like you or i
he's not like anything
you've known him for years
he's your closest friend
and he's here to kill everything

(he's shaking with a rage
that you can't comprehend
and his fingers are falling like rain
he's coming apart
yet growing stronger still
growing quite fat from the pain

everything you Never knew
is about to die in front of you
and all you can do is watch...) [comments] => 4 [counter] => 236 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

You never fail to creep me out. If I ever go hopelessly paranoid, I'm blaming it on you. Awesome piece, love the end!!!
