SHELTERED

By Brian Macko

Kept hidden away from everything.  Told

you couldn’t even go out and play. 

Blinded by God and beliefs. Was told

what you can and can not say. 

Just stuck in this stagnant nowhere life,

couldn’t even get the chance to decide

between what’s wrong and right.

It seemed like the right thing to do,

to lock me away and to learn just from

you.

Now, later on in life, I’m just like you. 

Wanting to control everything and

everyone.

Finding out that it can’t be done, the way

you want it to be done.

It drives me mad to know how mad you’ll

be at me.  What can I do? 

It seemed like the right thing to do,

to lock me away and to learn just from you.

Now that I’m free from your tight grip.

Don’t let yourself slip cause I’ll be right

there to watch you fall.

It seemed like the right thing to do, to

lock me away and to learn just from you.

I learned everything from you, but I

actually learned nothing. 

All I have to say is thank you for

your shelter.

HELLO

By Brian Macko

Hello I love you to death.  To weep

over the simplest little thing.  To

make up for it I would suffocate you

with love.

Our love making consists of

punching and kicking not kissing and

sticking.

As you lay in a pool of my happiness

I drown in a nauseating stench of

bliss.

As blood trickles down and down,

down to the ground and down, down

to the ground.

The only way you seem to get

affectionate is after you see me cry a

puddle of blood.

Seeing me in pain is your only

source of delight. Well it just ain’t

right!

As you drag me down to the

ground… down to the ground…

down to… down!

You tore my emotions apart for your

own self-pleasure or for a bloodlust

measure up that I will never measure

up, never.

When I say I love you, is it true for

you, then why do you spit hate?  

You pull me down with hate .I don’t

feel all that safe, when we’re

together.

So I think it’s time to sever this

relationship at the wrists.
