ABELARD’S LAMENT FOR HELOISE
[Verse 1] I shut my eyes, and there you are, Like smoke that fades but leaves a scar. I reach to touch, but it slips away — A darkened ash where love used to stay. Your beauty, a spark that lit the night, Your words, sharp knives of truth and light. But now I’m bound in this silent cell, A man fallen from...

Jester
I ascend to the stage, I make sure not to stumble or trip. They cheer and they boast and they cackle. They like this new persona. A beautifully doctored facade. Would they like the girl behind the curtains? They like my makeup and the pigment of my lipstick Would they like my natural face? Their teeth blind me As i...

Lonely Soul
Tears running down my precious face. I'm slowly melting as my heart erases. My heart has been stabbed several times. I'm down on my knees trying to unwind. I feel guilt in my soul that I can't control. You left me shredded apart and not whole. Why torture my heart and my soul? Why leave me in the dark and so...

It's always a battle, Everyday is, Always a battle, Between life and death, I forgot something, I didn't check before leaving, I didn't look before going, Everyday's like this, I didn't eat,I overeat, I overslept, I under slept, I haven't moved, yet I'm so tired, Always like this, everyday is, Incase you're asking, What depression looks like, It is like this, Everyday is,...

A Ghost Story
"I want to die in your bed With bittersweet memories, And a drunken head. Never want to be alone, Not for a single moment. I am scared, scared of the ghost - That lonely soul in the white garment. Funny, nowadays I'm feeling lonely too Maybe that ghost is a mirage of mine, BOO! Now, why are you going away, Leaving me, creating this...

Premium Member Absurdity
Blooms that I see today fade the next day. Green leaves turn yellow. They dwindle and fall. Fruits that are ripe fruitlessly find decay. Nature stands alert to an unknown call. The flora and fauna feel paranoid. Curiously, creatures here cogitate. By expirations, nature is annoyed. Every being confronts the games of fate. I search for the sense of my existence. What's the purpose...
