Sire Sire Pants on Fire

don't say another word

don't tempt me to sin

don't cause me to seethe

and let useless tears spill

from these wretched eyes of mine

don't say another word

i can hear you loud and clear

you shout your wisdom

but all i hear is

a monstrous voice

that is speaking in

a muffled drone

you have just placed

the phone down

with an angry click

that still

rings in my head

Will there be that

click again?

i am an imbecile

a letdown

and an ignorant

ungrateful fool

a naive

stupid

useless

daughter

you have asked me to come

i have placed my hand to your craggy face

you have called and beckoned

i have screamed

and ignored

i look out at my window

and i see the night sky

littered with stars

and the moon

which will be dragged down

tonight

which will be held under water

by a scorching arch enemy

i look you at my window

and i see the dawn breaking

a red sea of clouds

littered with agony

and a phoenix

which is shot in the wings

by an arrow

it falls to the craggy recesses of earth

and remains there

till it is no more

till it is part of

nothingness

till the clouds condense

and wash its remains away

till the cicada tree is felled

and sees

its last days

till the night turns early

with dread

and deceit

till my fingers tire

and i give in

to fitful sleep

Do not say any more
