ACROPHOBIAACROPHOBIA

[Verse 1]
Girl, I’m caught between the thrill and the fall,
Your shadow’s tracing cracks across my wall.
Electric hum beneath my skin,
Addicted to the mess I’m in.
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers call me higher, but I grip the rail,
Chasing sparks that flicker — I can’t bail.
Every heartbeat’s a quiet fight,
Lost inside your soft, electric light.
[Chorus]
Acrophobia, yet I’m chasing the...

The Dagger
I’m reminded of you in everything and everywhere.
You’re the coolest thing for the eyes to see.
The most beautifully crafted piece in the collection.
The harmless object when it’s inside its box.
I see you in the sharpness of everything and everywhere.
You’re the scariest thing for the heart.
The deadliest weapon for the soul.
The...

The Road Ahead
A gaslit street
of cobblestone
The horse-drawn carriage
faintly moans
A snowstorm quickens
the traveler groans
The road ahead

Tomato Soup
I never liked tomato soup -
that thick slurry of red
in a white bowl - childhood
winters, Friday nights
with a menacing dark
pressing against the window
as if trying to get in.
Tomato soup looked too much
like blood poured out
of that suffering
pictured in the vivid imagery
hung along the stations
of a child's mind no matter
if blest by grace.
When...

Blank episodeI was lost after a night out and
couldn't unlock the screen for directions
you walked to the pub you can't be far just
ease yourself over this railing and
slide down the wall so you can take a
short cut through the car park
cursing all the while but
I know the tube station's nearby
and it must still be open
pushing the...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand
When presented with a choice
Transported by a full force
That lands me in a false chance
Yet, I stand.
Breaking the shackles
That held me in my ankles
So tight like a buckle
Wrapped in my knuckles
Yet, I stand.
What is given is a Token
The heart that bleeds is broken
The life that fades is taken
Certain thoughts can't be...

fearwill i create
will i survive
and paint words
write dreams
or will i fall victim
to
another hateful man
too ignorant
to learn
rather than destroy
that which he doesn’t know
men like him will rule the world
until we change
or we die
there is no other option
and in this truth
i feel scared
and i hate
that hate
can make me feel
small
trembling
and terrified
knowing i am not enough
to change it....

PanicHeart beating too rapid to keep count, striking a beat to its own drum.
Breath like hot acid with every forced inhale.
Mouth now too wet, tongue feels too big for where it used to fit.
Skin too hot, now slick with cold sweat.
Stomach dropping like you just fell three...

OverthinkIf I could hit pause.
If I could hit replay.
Just for one more day, to not overthink or sink.
Just to converse and try not to curse.
To not be overly friendly or overly petty.
To not be overly stark or overly dark.
Maybe one day....

Rain, and the Body RemembersThe body remembers…
What the mind politely forgets.
How rain once meant survival
How cold once meant fear
How being held...
Was once the only god that mattered.

The Fog of Lost SoulsIn shadows thick where silence weeps,
The fog rolls in—its secret keeps.
A mournful veil, a breathless moan,
It swallows light, leaves hearts alone.
This cursed ground, where echoes stay,
Of laughter lost and minds astray.
A prison forged from sorrow’s seam,
Where memories drift like half-formed dreams.
No stars to guide, no dawn to see,
Just whispers caught in memory.
Each step you take,...
