I'm so tired, don't want to do this anymore. Please just leave, and be sure to close the door. No, I don't want to talk, I want to be left alone. Now who the hell is that? Where's my damn phone? Just what part of go don't you understand? You turn and you leave, and don't come back again. I'm sorry, but it's just been one of those...

More fool me For hoping you would change, You promised me the world Yet everything’s the same. I’ve told you that I’m broken And I can barely cope, You said you’d make more effort Filling me with hope. Actions speak louder Than your words can ever say, I’ve already waited forever So I won’t wait another day. I’m not sorry that we’re over I’m sorry that...

I wish you were there When I needed you the most I thought you were the only one Who will protect me, at any cost When my trembling hands Wiped off the heat of tears I was going through so much All that my heart had always feared The pain I felt right in the chest Strong enough, to forget the...

Some days, I’m still fighting the urge to light a cigarette—missing those rippling ribbons of smoke and the way they would uncoil in the dark, humid air. I’ve been coughing so much lately, and my lungs will hardly expand for any air that isn’t polluted at the source. I’ve been hacking up my lungs, and...

What if the rain dries out before my eyes, missing the constant memories a ghost, a lonely pavement sidewalk. We step backwards I wish to be and feel lucky and not wasted on Coopers Sparkling Ale. Push me over, into the sewer gates, will they finally accept my form, as my physical skinniness accept me down in their filth and broken....

If love is a battlefield Sarcastic words are launched like glass hand grenades Shattering her dignity, she's bruised, battered and afraid When coming home fills her with a dreadful trepidation When her words walk on eggshells trembling in expectation Chorus If love is a battlefield then, somethings not right Home should be a safe haven, not cut like a knife Oh, if love is a battlefield and there's a cry...

Part I The wolf had been knocking at the door Longer than I had realized A young man saw an old man in the mirror It's taken all in stride It's so cold, where did I go? I hadn't noticed the rust on the jailcell bars Until I looked at all the scars I wish I could laugh Because of a whole heart, I...

My love garden remains unweeded, Each planted flower slowly wilting. A shadow spreads across my sunlight, And a storm lingers without rainfall. Sad teardrops fall from my broken heart, No blood shed, yet my worlds fall apart. Agony, sorrow, deep dejection— Reflections in my shattered mirror. My tear burns hot enough to bake bread, Depression drapes a cloak on my head. Love tortures like a...

Those we lost to the night, Gone before the sunrise, Summoned by the unseen, Taken to the beyond. Those who have lost to time, Worn down by its passage, Sometimes sit on the porch, basking in the daylight. Time stops for them as they journey to the beyond....

If I am too slow It will all pour out of me My desire, my debauchery My ever-growing need to be the object of your sincerest affections And you will see that I’ve been lurking Like some kind of freak Outside your door...

If home is a place Then I lost my map Hearts got misplaced  Vocal cords snap I scream and yell for one more chance Then beg and plea for some closure My legs are tired of this dance Now I've lost my composure  Teary eyed and red Weight gained and lost All the blood I've shed Promises given with fingers crossed Lies spread around Passing from friend to...

Am I on an island launching bottles out to sea beached at the waterline will someone rescue me I'm drowning not waving as the boats go by abandoned at high tide does anyone hear my cry here am I sad to say writing messages in the sand marooned a lonely castaway will somebody lend a hand if I'm on an island...

I am a ruined house With a rusty fence, So many phantoms reside resting recklessly, A clock on the mantelpiece that won't work. It's stuck staring at me, Tick………, The wallpaper is crumbling and fading away like my miserable memories. It doesn't seem real even though it is. Dreamy, dreary , dread , dead. But the fire is...
