It's hard to imagine any of the guys feeling consumed by hatred. All of the coupling done on screen (and off? Enquiring minds want to know)... But there is one that never feels the love. A little trip into the subconscious and sub-basement of one man's mind. Hatred burns brightest when hidden, but can consume more than we are willing to pay. Pairing: Drew/All The Thing in the Basement Oh, I'll play the game, won't let them see how much their jokes hurt. I'll watch them pair off, huddling in darkened corners, Stealing kisses, whispering promises, planning their rendezvous, Forgetting I'm here ~ or God forbid, pitying me. But when I'm alone… They don't know what I do to them when I'm alone! Furniture breaks, and I hear bones crack Glass shatters, empty bottles in shards that cut as easily as their words do. I've melted their pictures, watching them curl up and blow away. Oh, yes, I've killed them all… Damn them for their greed! Wives, children, picture-perfect… But does that satisfy? HELL NO! Not enough for them to have one mate, they've stolen each other as well! Paired off, squared off, shut out, and closed in… Why not me? Why not me!? I've kissed them all… Felt them up, too… (Gotten a rise out of each of them, if you know what I mean) So why don't they want me? I've got hair; I've got money, So what if I'm a little bit plump? None of the guys my age look that great, either. And the young punks don't really count… (Not that I'd kick `em out of bed – at least not until I was done.) So instead, I use them Wrap my fantasies around them The way my hand wraps around me. Oh, yes… take it all - you know you want it, Stick-boy! Fuck them for their patronizing ways! I make them serve me – feel them lick my feet… Ram, bam, thank you ma'am, Use them up one by one, then kick `em out on the sidewalk Leave `em naked and crying for more, crying because I dumped them. Oh, yes! Sweat-soaked, chest heaving, spent… The sour smell of twisted dreams clings to my skin As I rise from the basement… Just good ol' Drew taking out the trash of bitterness and broken dreams. k.
