WAR SORE

Our relationship was an act
A well rehearsed production in fact
Absence makes the heart grow a new leaf
That penetrates the grief underneath
Sleeping with strangers was our equivalent
Of a dying straight marriage having children
Act I: we were both at war, then
Act II: saw you as a whore
Act III: me, but infinitely more
Fell beneath my moral floor, then
By the time we'd reached act IV
We'd been diseased, damaged
Broken sore
All the songs
All the fights
All the wrongs
All the nights
Sleepless by
Your side
And then next
All the rest of our
Separate lives
Became
Act V
There was a condom
On the floor from
Last week or last month
You had been fucking
Some polished twink
The same time I was
I marched the parade
And then you came
No pride, but all shame
We sat together
All ties severed
Walked home in the rain
Then the death rattle
Final battle
And you bit my neck
Break up goodbye sex
Sweat in the same bed
Left by all those men
We (you, me) fucked when
We just needed friends
We just needed friends

I cannot see you
Or be in the same room
Cannot be the man
That you desperately wanted me to
And he is reflected
In your deep, dark brown eyes
The chocolate I melted
And drank
And despised
That made me sick to my wick
And extinguished my light
Goddess, why the fuck
Did I let him stop me fight
This is war
I've been seen tonight
This is what
I've been given tonight
This is war
This is what I've been given tonight
By the full and pregnant moonlight
Mother, teaching daughter all the
Dangers of the men
Who will come into your life, girl
Again and again
Walk amongst you, a dinosaur
Whose wretched tail never ends
And pollute all of the clean air
With their precious dividends
I cannot see you
Or be in the same room
Cannot be
The man
You wanted me to
And he is reflected
In your dark brown eyes
Chocolate I melted
Drank and despised
It made me sick
You made me sick to my wick
And extinguished my light
You made me
sick to my wick
You made me sick to my wick
And extinguished my light
You made me sick to my wick
And extinguished my light
You made me sick to my wick
And extinguished my light
Goddess, why the fuck did I
Let him stop me fight
Fight

lonely carp Glasgow, UK
Callie Rose Petal is lonely carp
lonely carp recommends:
THE CALIGULA DEMOS
by LINGUA IGNOTA
Truly one of the modern greats, Kristin will always be such a significant source of inspiration with her artful blending of devotional music and noise.
go to album
I somehow only recently discovered this record, but the way it opens out from a moment of such fragile intimacy is absolutely stunning.
go to album
Xandra occupies such a powerful space in her aesthetic; synthesising the tumult of a lived trans experience into walls of abrasion, power electronics, and acoustic samples almost too painful to bear.
