Lady Pain (a co-write with Hooded Stranger)


Lady Pain
by: eddy styx and Hooded Stranger


wild horses

couldn't stop her

from ruining her life.

She was hell bent

on destruction

and all her

shuddering denial

denied her intentions

of exposing her

tender pink

silk and satin

underbelly

and all her

feminine frills

like tea and crumpets

she needs her fix

of love and pain

laced with daily

humiliation.

*chorus

Wild horses pull and drag with ropes of razor wire
Muscles forced tight and the pain burns like fire
She grimaces in an ecstasy of her final destruction
Stoking her inner embers with a spasm of seduction

Wild horses drag and pull with barbs of twisted wire
Limbs drawn taught but the agony won’t purify her
She screams out in her moment of sexual abduction
Releasing her flame in an orgasm of perfect corruption



She knew she could

never go home again,

because the pain

was so delicious

oh how much

she loved

the chilling rain

like a shot of

liquid barbed wire

shooting through her veins

and wild horses

couldn't stop her...

Dear Jayne

Please come back and reread the poem because Hooded Stranger has added the chorus to it and I think you would like it very much. Thanks. Love, Cat

Very touching, I started to feel bad for this person I don't know. I like how "her shuddering denial denied..." some might find it repetitive but I think it hammers the point in. The title is great, strong theme. Antoine

Dear Purple

I've heard other's protest of that line, but I think I will leave it as it is. There has been a chorus added to these lyrics, since you have read, I think you would enjoy. Always, Cat

Thank you for your praise. Hooded Stranger joined me on this piece, after you first read it. I think his chorus completes the piece. Always, Cat

Cat...Lol!

Oh Cat, what can I say, something different for me. Indeed it is and so very Eddy. I was trying to pick out the parts I really liked, but I kept reading and scrolling down and could only find these lines I liked: wild horses couldn’t stop her from ruining her life. She was hell bent on destruction and all her shuddering denial denied her intentions of exposing her tender pink silk and satin underbelly and all her feminine frills like tea and crumpets she needs her fix of love and pain laced with daily humiliation. She knew she could never go home again, because the pain was so delicious oh how much she loved the chilling rain like a shot of liquid barbed wire shooting through her veins and wild horses couldn’t stop her… the rest of the poem was rubbish!! Lol! I see you mentioned these are lyrics, hmmm, maybe a chorus is required? Great story, sad but intriguing. I really liked this one. Your second Eddy Styz book must be nearly complete. I don't know what it is, but I like the words 'hell bent'...I used them on a write a while ago and wondered why I hadn't used them before...they add something that I can't put my finger on. Excellent write, although I'd expect nothing less from an AEC member...lead by example my friend. regards, HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "With all that I am and all that I could be, I walk this earth and yet nobody sees me".

Dear Chrys

Yes, I fought with that line. I could have used "refute" instead of "denied." What do you think of that? I think we work well together,too, and it was fun. Love, Cat

Dear Lou

I argued with myself over that line, I could have used refuted instead of denied. What do you think of this idea? Thanks for reading. Always, Cat
