I want to be the coffee in your morning mug Your mouth so eager for that first sip That you don’t mind when I scorch your throat  With my love The bubbling cheese on the pizza That melts the roof of your mouth Your pleasure ruined at first bite With my love Everyone knows we remember pain Much quicker than we do the pleasure I never kill softly, only slaughter With my love

I want to play the predator I’ve learned from the ferocious best Take what I want from a man Throw back all the rest Prowl my victim Hunt him with what’s in my head Make him feel alive Only to leave him for dead When I get bored And decide to hunt fresh prey I took notes from Latin lovers I know just what to say Make him feel so special Until I think he is not He’ll bring me all of his love I’ll take whatever he’s got I will bat him around like a cat toy Chew him up while I play Leave him crippled in the corner To catch my eye another day A hunter is always hungry There is no shortage of meat to feast I have my sights on another predator Let’s see who’s the biggest beast

I like to write the obituaries Of all the ghosts that haunt my life It makes their absence brighter By bringing their deaths to light J.T. gone in 2003 Ran over my mailbox And straight into a tree I lost M.M. August 19, 2000 Her boyfriend died by suicide She never came back no matter what I tried J.V. left in 2019 Took a freak paper cut to his sculptor’s wrist Bled out to the beat of his own music disc Lost my husband in 2016 Though he didn’t die Just became a zombie J.P. from 1995 Drank himself to death Like his father before and brother who’s next This last guy I can only assume Was taken to the Gods on the day of the rapture The heathens and I left down here most impure Each time a new one dies I find less tears to cry And I wonder how the ones that survive See me as a ghost through their eyes

Did you forget my name yet Gorgeous It never was I was just a sequin eyed Prize A silky white pair of Thighs Used to drain your Insecurities Mix them with my Impurities I always like the way My name sounds better Through the lips of a bitter mouth Your mirror is shattered I caught a glimpse of myself In the shards And I have never looked so Foolish Let the other many beautiful Reflections Make you feel alive Because my name is Drop dead Gorgeous It never was

I am not your sunshine Rays are not what I emit I am the flicker of a lighter Gone before it gets lit You are the lack of oxygen That snuffs out my flame Dim lighted moonshine Reflecting puddles of rain Go smolder in your smugness You are a burning paradise Stuck on snake eyes You never roll your pair of dice When a man blows out your flame He has taken nothing from you Just removes his own warmth Another’s lit wick will renew
