As the ink slowly drips
Conjuring its spell
I give myself over
To the desires that dwell
I watch the words forming
In a vapory haze
Leaving me sickened
Weary and dazed
Stretching the bounds
Of my disjointed affliction
I write through hell
For this is my addiction
Lured once again
By this mysterious fate
These are moments
I live to hate

Do you ever just wish
You could take back what you said
And every moment after
Is something that you dread
All those regretful words
Left hanging in the air
Fills you with affliction
Cause you really do care
But something made you do it
Spew your words of hate
A bunch of nasty nonsense
If only you could relegate
Time is the only cure
Likely to save your from your demise
Your only hope left
Is that the memory fades and dies
