The Empathetic Monster by Sam Roberts
Wrap me up in your tight fist
Its time, I’ve got to get out
Time to re think
Fucked, thickened by lies, tangled in twisted threads
Ends split and savaged by speech
And you took time to look, stop and breathe.
Girly, grotesque, perverted holes you picked at
Held high on your shoulder and laughed at
I fell and you cried
Because it was selfish, seeded, sodden
For every bit of life that I was given
The empathetic monster has now arisen
Fruits were laid, just to rot
Flesh was felt, just to stop
A mind given, just to crave
Callous, cold and coffee staining clarity
Just to feel a bit of empathy.
A little of this, a little of that
Delicately dabbled in dirty, dreary deaths
It sickens me, the thoughts I depict
Washing my mouth out from the stench and waste
For every part of life I was given
The empathetic monster has now arisen
Fruits were laid just to rot
Flesh was felt just to stop
A mind given just to crave
Callous, cold and coffee staining clarity
Just to feel a bit of empathy.
