Gravy Train
By Liath
What the fuck is up with you?
Don't you see what you're doing?
What you're saying?
Who you're killing...
Once upon a time...
You were their friend
Years in the past
You were there for them
Once upon a time...
You cared about them
Felt their emotions
Their grievances
Once upon a...now
You've lost their trust
Their undenying friendship
Their everlasting loyalty to you
Because you've forsaken the meaning of friendship
You might as well put a dagger in their backs
Because the pro-verbial blade, is sunken to the hilt
You might as well become an abomination to the human race
Because you've become an abomination to friendship
Both of you
You're in it together
You've ridden the gravy train as far as it's gonna go
We're kicking you off
No round trip tickets for this ride
You deserve to burn
So, fare thee well in hell, batman
Why did they put up with it for so long?
I ask. I wish they hadn't.
You didn't deserve it. Never. Not again.
Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die.
They were good to you, were there for you
And you return their kindness
With a kick in the shins
And a piss-covered poke in the eye
Respect, friendship, and all that shit
Is earned, and should be respected
If you file for friendship again, dick heads, expect to be rejected
I hope your hopes and dreams become defected
Your children infected
So in closing
Slit your throat
Begin to choke
On your blood, begin to float
Into your soul, maybe reality, will begin to soak.
Late one night, in I snuck
Around your throat, the rope was tied
Without a fight, your head was struck
Now you gloat, hanging there silent, you're the person(s), for whom no
one cried.

i couldn't help but laugh at "Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die. Die." - but the rest of the piece made me jeoulous. You have a way with words and i'll be looking for your name more often. "D
