Stormin' SM

so you rode those bad winds
down your long sad and thin
kissin’ the fins on the starved side of time
and you set your begins on a hurricane rain
that stripped them mad streets
from the fuck in your mind
till you joined those hot bodies terror had lined
to rot on the walls of your intimate cage
with all of your other nastiest kinds
of envy and rage turning brownish and green
with your well-practiced penchant for mean
in your dungeon where all you believed
was what you ain’t done ain’t been seen
when I found you down there with your blood
in your hair and held you in arms that know how to care
until you could stand and breathe the salt air
that fills these high sails where I learned how to ride
your sick seas of self-hate and despair
so now you can swim and you smell clean and sweet
and the whole bloody hell was well worth it to see
you come alongside just playin' your own
theme song on survive all that livin' bad lovin’
rough had devised till now you are rumblin'
smooth runnin’ fine feelin' down real
healed true and home free
