Afterlight

11-14-2018

Is this twilight
where I meet a bad bartender
where I need to be
What does the sun have to do with it
It ain't nothin' 
but reflections of a moon
I haven't visited before
Ignore me after
bring me a drink
I am the only thing heavy in the room
then leave me alone

to think
lovely flames outside the fire
Ain't no such thing, honey
You're in or you're out
Sing the song like you wrote it
Put it down
Walk away
Run away
It's not your fault
No one can pin it on you
You did good
Behave yourself now
Lay down wooden
You turn around

Look at my child with your hungry eyes
Go ahead
You got nothin' to worry about
You aren't real
You ain't here
Goodbye
I'm headed for jail
where men like me belong
You just one more ugly-assed smear
no one has to worry with
Me
just doin' my time

I been suckin' up midnight
with creatures like myself
preying on predators
turning on a dime
Ain't no future in your limp-ass game
It ends with the wrong victim
whose monsters run deeper
trailing
tracking
stalking
Doing what you do
no victim in mind
Vengeance is a word
sure as hell ain't no crime
Go on, tempt shadows
one at a time

Screw me down tight
on your midnight throne
Come back at noon
you'll find me alone

Piss on me
puke on me 
I feel your pain
like an empath
like a preacher
I'm a devil
got your name

from a book handed me
by the dying hand
of a suffering, twisted
friend of man
It's a killing list
he didn't get done
of men like you
damn sure, the very next one
Men without shadows
time undone
Is this twilight, am I
the man without shadow
the only man
in the room
with a gun in his hand
