All I see is confusion
     when I look into your eyes 
All I get is delusion
     when I gaze into the skies 
When I need absolution
     I just hang my head and cry 
You can&#8217;t provide a solution
     as if that&#8217;s a surprise
I don&#8217;t believe you care
    about us [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dmofdoom.wordpress.com&blog=4238110&post=98&subd=dmofdoom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Martins Ferry, December 2001

My shattered heart 
bleeds eternally 
As love slips out 
I watch it bleed 
No tourniquet 
to make it cease 
Until you find some love for me
My broken body 
slowly rots 
can&#8217;t compensate 
for what I&#8217;ve lost 
No cure 
for what I&#8217;ve caught 
In this life 
of twisted plots
My twisted mind 
that seats my soul 
writhes around 
out of control 
No sedative 
to make me whole 
Unjust love has 
taken it&#8217;s toll.

		<description><![CDATA[Written on a visit to Martins Ferry in December 2001, a year after my father passed away.

There is only one god 
that I have known 
He made me in his image 
with unconditional love 
and trust in me 
And now I bear his visage 
But he has died 
a year ago 
so there goes my religion 
just an empty space 
within my soul 
and now I have no mission

Jesus loves me
     This I know 
As the hypocrites
     tell me so 
The little gods
     to US belong 
Yet we grow weak
     to make them strong
Yes, Jesus loves me 
Yes, Jesus loves me 
Yes, Jesus loves me
     Because I told him so

		<description><![CDATA[Dateline-St. Petersburg, FL, March 2002:  Spare-Time Poet Attempts to be Clever

Sold my soul&#8230;to whoever 
And so I&#8217;ve paid my price
Cry myself to sleep at night 
Relieve myself of vice 
If I knew all the answers 
Forgotten all I know 
In a world of selfish wills 
Can&#8217;t go on alone 
Even as I sell my soul again
