Catch and Release

Spoke of her passing as I rarely do

Looked down and noticed I’m in the nude

Clothes all stripped away

Psychotic passion on display

Rant at the depths of my frequent doubts

Boy just go and whip it out

Victim with little to say

Predator now falling prey

Believing I will never get farther

Everyday I bargain and plea

Even if you’re no longer a bother

Catch and release me to the sea.

Spilling my laughter into this vacant hole

Tilled into the base of my skull

Void streams down my face

Burying me there in its place

Striking with your lightning there from afar

Send shockwaves to my limping heart

Crimes have gone unpaid

Predator once more falling prey

(just to get laid…)

Believing I will never get farther

Everyday I bargain and plea

Even if you’re no longer a bother

Catch and release me to the sea.

Though you’ve gone and stripped me from my armor

Leaving me to rust in my pleas

Cursed be the wicked from the father

While his daughter plays with his strings.

Stuck in this cyclone that tore me apart

Luck preparing to hand me off

Slab of a sweet filet

To live with these choices I’ve made.

Catch and Release

Catch and Release

Catch and Release

Release me….
