Deaf to Me
The only time I feel alive
Is when I feel like Im about to die
Ive cried all the tears I can cry
voice gone from asking why,
Holding hands running away
....No goodbyes
Lost together, losing ourselves
Too proud to ask for help
Tired & way more than shotout
Full of so much regret & doubt
Try to drown out all

The Switch Up
This world just keeps becoming
more & more ridiculous
Been way past the point
of being sick of this
Every path taken
turns into a complete disaster
Only way to get through it all
Is a borderline insane/nervous laughter
Always chasing the knowledge
to know what comes after
Instantly fooling myself into
believing this time will
be the switch up
And ill actually be

Parasomnia
This paralyzing Dream inebriates me,
intoxicated by Death’s perfume,
I don’t believe I’m here to battle my
Demons, I’m here to keep them
safe and sacred, reach them
toward’s Heaven’s skies, raise and
teach them about Heaven’s signs
Is it sacrilegious and blasphemous
or the way God would treat his
Creation?
Valerie prayed I rose from a lala,
prayed I grant her wishes and
replace

Senses ' Di-Vices
Hear, hear!
I can feel her heart drift
Who knows why she loves me
I hate the smell of Cupid’s grift
She puts her finger to my lips
I taste her brüt silence
Behind my eyes
Dionysus watches neon signs shift

Numb as we can be
Numb.... Lonely
Staring at the same gloomy rain
dripping down 2 different
window panes
over 300 miles away
Feeling alone & ashamed,
full of regret because of how
we hehaved
but not giving up
bc this Actual, Magical,
One of a kind love
is just too unfathomable
to not crave
its right there out of our reach,
our plans, wants & goals
so easy to speak
but

The Distance Between Us
The distance between you all and I can be so painful
Sitting in traffic to be with you can be so meaningful
It's a bitter sweet feeling though to live so far away
Our hearts would grow fonder each and every day
Using social network to read what you have to say
You encourage me virtually when my skies

Why The Grey Sky Grew
Why the grey sky grew
Could it be because of you?
Or because my heart's feeling blue
The sun only shines when I'm with you
When we're far apart
The world grows dark
It thunders and rains
Blowing wind that chills my veins
Occasionally striking the garden we grew
A garden of love built by me and you
The anger of fire will destroy the

Tell Me
Tell me you want me
Tell me you need me
Tell me I’m beautiful
But don’t go away
Stay!
Say I love you
Say anything…
Say I’m worthy of your love
Say you support me!
But please don’t ignore me
Don’t leave me on read
Don’t diminish my light
Don’t fight against what’s right
Believe in us!
Believe in your success!
Believe we will prevail

The relationships I deserve
Inspired by Healing of Childhood Wounds. Don't mistake Connection or Familiarity with Love or a Relationship. Just because we have experienced Chaos and Heartbreak as "Normal", doesn't mean it's Good. Love shouldn't give you Stress, Anxiety, Pain, Emotional Upheaval or Confusion. Love should feel like Calm, Peace, Happiness, Joy, Safety, and Home.
The relationships I

All In A song
All in
shape shifter within
nothing firm
no direct plans
in motion
just live
can't plan
don't know where I stand
following the wave
don't feel really safe
is this growth?
over the top
you came in
romantic gestures
convincing
but in real life
you want me one way
and I feel it's that way or the highway
except you came to me
ohh ohhh ohhhh ohhh ohhhh ohhhh
chased me down
followed me everywhere
and when

Misplaced
In my few quiet moments, I always say grace,
a mother first, trying to find my place,
my eyes are tired, every single day,
I’m praying for peace, to come some how, some way.
A co-worker's friendship is definitely great,
I work so hard, yet my bills are still late.
Im trying to juggle the roles,

You Mean Something To Me
I can tell through my emotion that you mean something to me
The way i feel cant be put into words but only actions for you to see
There's many who have made some type of impression on me
But is it what I'm looking for or who they think i want them to be
I have my own

Father of the Ripening Dawn
May peace follow you-said the half naked lady that breathed life into the night
Return the calm you took from me, fair lady of the sky
Every night I see you-
Just as I saw you with my lover,
And just as I saw you with my grief
Become new or I will cease the dark-
the dark permitting your presence
My

Hyvasti
Butting heads, locking horns
the difficult child of three
if anyone was causing grief
It was always going to be me,
a stubborn chip
from a stubborn old block
never at ease we two
so I left and made a life for myself
far from the one you knew,
you pushed too hard to tie me down
I went and you felt betrayed,
you
