Deceit o’ bloodred,
Languish droplets bled
Elements purge forlorn
Happily e’er after battle-torn
Cruel lips kiss adieu,
Loathsome toxin askew
Slumber still mercy mine
Ador bore thou decline
Tangled web of lies,
Depths of loveless eyes
Pierced by devious dart,
Enfeeble, tis terse impart
Remiss of presence so
Willful heart nary let go.
Welcome harbinger grim,
Laid broken, weakened dim.
Come hither sweet respite
To thy favor, I so submit.
Love’s demise hardens regret,
Behests reminisce lest I forget.
You came to me in an open dream,
for ever since I was born.
This chassis can of pleasure, to sing,
to inspire cartwheels with perfect form.
I'll tell you if I can or if it began,
where it's empty or if love is not the food.
Hollow love not printed with love's warning.
Listen to the soul's spilling.
Listen to it's blues,
staggering along ceasing to be pretending.
A shadow hanging freshly minted,
"Never-mind"
and," I'm sorry".
Learn when or where or why
or how it came to light,
or the how to end.
Open and close the door to this ador,
soul left empty and hollow,
it's failed at love.

hold my had
i'm letting you go
in a distant whisper
i'm letting you know
we where forever
but we cant be
because your still you
but i'm not me
i love you so much
i hate you so bad
i'm hurt that its over
but inside i'm glad
i love your life
but would rather see you die
i ador your smile
but would rather see you cry
no one knows what we hold inside
or the secrets that we have to hide
love is a blurk so careful or what you pick
because love can be beautiful and also be sick
