On The Rim of the Universe

I sit on the rim of the universe

I feed on the fear of the fall

I sit on the far end of what you would want

Unable to wade through it all

i lifted you up

and still that cold bitch haunts your head

and chases all the girls away

Marinating in Misery

He sits at the table with his best friends Anger Resentment Hopelessness and the Six O’clock News wallowing in nightly negativity soaking in a bath of boredom marinating in misery waiting for me to turn him. copyright 2006 Rhonda Lee Richoux
