LOVE PUT ME IN A STRAIGHT JACKET (2005)


I string love along with

Clever eyes and moist lips.

He reaches out to hold me as

I dodge his grasp with swinging hips.


Feather caresses and sexy glimpses

He stares and inside, I smile.

Our eyes meet, love thinks he knows.

So I let his feeling fester for a while.


The attachment grows, sick and twisted.

As one side is stronger, it starts to bend.

I feel his embrace hold longer and I know

That this is the beginning of the end.


My smile slopes with weight

As my lungs close up with panic.

He keeps coming back for more.

Love put me in a straight jacket.


Lost in the maze of a circular design,

Of finding salvation and then I run,

Love’s orbit in my life spins me away.

Death to Love by my atavistic gun.
