In Front of Locked Doors by Marvinlouis

 

In

Front

of

Locked Doors

 

Bobby John Press

Poetic Libretto

 

Marvinlouis

 



It's

brains

 

had

be-

come

black-

top

 

it's

blood

stained

 

after

put-

ting

it's

dead body

 

in-

to

black

trash

bag

i

 

mourned

my-

evil-

self

 

for

thin-

kin

 

i

should

have

ta-

ken

a

picture

 

so

sorry

little

kitty

 

please

have

pitty

 

on this

thing

called

me

 

for

acting

as if

 

i

didnt

care

 



what

a

ter-

rible

thing

it

would

be if

 

i

was

like

you

 

you

was

like

me

 

even

i

can't

see

through

yo

eyes

 

not

even

me

 

can

breathe

the

way

that

you

do

 

my

heart

can't

beat

 

the

way

urs

does

 

who

 

is

me

 

who

 

is

you

 

i

 

can't

say

 



There

was two

fights

 

on

this

street

where

i now

re-

side

 

wasn't

in either

fight

 

but

be-

tween

them

 

who

got

cut

 

who

was left

bleedin

 

what

seeds

have

been

plan-

ted

in

whose

brains

 

whose

mind

has

been

blown

 

who

else

saw

 

what

was

truely

seen

 

by

trees

 

felt

by

roots

 

be-

neath

soles

of

feet




Did

you

know

 

be-

tween

where

it

was

 

where

it's hard

ta see

 

where

it will

be

 

is

like

a

moon

 

pre-

ten-

din

 

to be

the

sun

 

finger

prints

on toes

 

a

drunk

little baby

laughing at

a bloody nose

 

it's

like

warm

rain

 

rising up

from the

ground

 

like

wet

socks

 

on

tired

feet

 

it's like

hell on

earth

 

in

skin




One

Last

thing

 

before

i get

lost

 

in

this

poetic

mad-

ness

 

when

you let

go of yo

body

 

don't

be afraid

of what you

no longer feel

 

be-

cause

without

dark-

ness

 

there is

no light




His mind

has already

been

str-

ung

 

he’s

almost

dead now

 

said

the

Muse
