she said she used to stare at the stars
when she was a little girl
and wish that she could be one of them
i suppose that was supposed to make her seem
deep and romantic
i silently wished she'd just stare at the stars now
and shut up
she said that she wanted
to live in a big Victorian house
with a picket fence and a couple of kids
i said she was a lot prettier when her mouth was closed
yeah, i guess it was harsh
but, if you had to listen to that ***** everyday
it would wear down your nerves too
but, sometimes you've got to settle
cuz true love is hard to find
sometimes you've got to settle
or you'll be alone, and left behind
i won't lie, i hate this job
i've got a few ulcers to prove it
surrounded by inept knuckle-walkers
working for one of christ's foot-soldiers
working the most when the weather's the worst
but, i shouldn't *****, it could be worse
sometimes you've got to settle
you have to pay the bills somehow
yes, sometimes you've got to settle
this job will do for now
she didn't cry, nor beg and plead
she didn't resist much at all
and when my knife found the soft spot
between her ribs
she didn't offer money or sex in exchange for release
she just died in silent desperation
much like she had lived
a greasy spot on this highway to hell
with no one to listen to the story it tells
but, sometimes you have to settle
cuz the perfect victim is worth all this *****
yes, sometimes you have to settle
til you can find the one, who'll make you *****
as you send them, screaming, to the pit

interesting poem Cancer, hope it isnt true.
Had a nice flowing ryhme to it, but most of your poems carry that sort of style.
Liked this one alot, keep it up. |

| hope this is fiction but the first few stanzas are gripping and full of realism. the feeling of 'settling' is one i'm all to familar with - the 'someone is better than no one' theory. again, the flow is great and adds dramatic pace to the poem. your work is excellent, keep writing, Kate x |

this was interesting to say the least. The end of the first stanza made me laugh. I don't know what to say really this was messed up in a different sorta way.
