third party review

that feeling
where the bottom of your gut drops away at the sight of wine stained teeth
now i understand why japanese women blacken their teeth after they marry
the desire instilled by discolor
and the knowledge that the desire won't be quenched
(your water my fire)
can make that much more desire

siren

seductive darkness that calls my name
your voice is one that is so familiar
and it never fails to make me lean in your direction
you promise things that i know you won't actually give me
and yet i still begin to walk your way
forgetting the other voices that call me towards the blue sky
the light of the sun

i'm tired of fighting

(insert snappy title here)

users are everywhere, and we are all whores. well, some of us anyway. the rest of us are mere sluts because we put out for free. tsk tsk tsk.

is it worth it? is it worth the deferred dreams; dreams mothballed alongside badly crocheted herb sachets, and broken music boxes?

you know, honesty should keep us from putting the blame all on "them," the clients. after all, don't they whore themselves out to us as well, with the payment not quite as tangible? and don't we use them as well, with the motivation not quite as clear?

sometimes even standing under the shower spray isn't enough to get clean.
