CrawlYou crawl under my skin
Again, uninvited this time
Drinking my sorrow
Your tail whips around my heart
Drawn in by the cold
Darkness you know so well
To look but not to touch
A sad spectacle to visit
But visit is all
Soak up vulnerability
Bathe in the grief
Wash off, walk home
Leave me with the well
Where undrinkable water lives
Crumbs to decorate it
Furtive missives of...

You Didn't Want MeYou didn't want to help me reassemble
The puzzle pieces of my broken heart.
You didn't want to see how we resemble
A couple turning the page for a new start....

VeilonDon't go please I beg
Be strong girl you said
You left me in the med
Took ahead your steps
Tell me why please !
I dreamt abt sitting with you beside river
I want you to come closer
Wanna put my head on your shoulder
Just wanna be your lover
I thought I found you as a treasure
But you...

Love or hateHow Long a wait will my weak feet endure?
For many years On your snub I still wail.
Yet Veils of lies don’t cover your allure;
Your Elegance I still cannot but hail.
Your words Often fail to convey passion,
Your heart Remains closed off to compassion,
Since you Heave out too little in response,
Within the Arcade of hatred you ensconce.
With...

TAKE BACK DECEMBER(Verse 1)
I remember the chill in the air,
When you said goodbye, like you didn’t care.
Your words cut deep, left me bare,
But I stayed silent, pretending I was fine.
You walked away, said you needed space,
That freedom would bring you back to grace.
But in your eyes, I saw a trace
Of something we couldn’t leave behind.
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I’d...

FluxOnly the river knows...
the unfinished song my heart holds.
Only the river knows...
the whispers still heard on every wind blow.
And still...
The river flows onward from yesterday's woes....

Before we could even start.

As objects, pieces of art.
Your choice of words are so tart....

curtainshield me from the world, my beautiful curtain,
shield me from prying eyes
shield me from the horrors of this universe,
and all their pretty lies.
the world sees how beautiful you are, my curtain,
they see how much i adore you.
they see your worth within your piece of cloth,
of flowers and textures through and through.
yet they don’t know the...

to fight along to save human race.

to stand and fight and brother in arms,
to pray to god as know its bad,

Letters Of DivorceWith these rings, we said, "I do,"
Never planned to play the fool.
Too young to grasp loves weight,
Too blind to heed its rules.
We were D—drifting, never devoted.
We were I—insensible, inconsiderate.
We broke our Vows, splintered trust.
We were O—reckless, outrageous.
We were R—tangled, bitter root.
We were C—careless, never committed.
We were E—estranged, unraveling fast.
A word we swore would never be...

The Other WomanThe other woman lives inside of you;
I can see her silhouette in your eyes.
Her tendons twist through yours, interwoven,
down through your fingertips, I see her there.
The other woman lives inside of you,
I can hear her hungry heart through your chest
Her whispers bleed like poison through your mind,
echoing in your voice, I hear her...

I Can’t Blame AnyoneI can't blame anyone, not even the one you love
I'm sure you both have stories to fill pages with—
about how you met and fell for each other
I do not have the right to claim you,
so the question of hate seems outrageous
My nights are haunted by the dead and the living
You are a beacon I always...

The HourglassHe loved me before I broke.
Back when he could hold me
and my shattered pieces would
remain whole,
instead of slipping through his fingers
like weightless sand.
He loved me.
But his hands
were the orifice of the hourglass,
and when the last grain of my sanity
fell
to his feet,
he knew—
our time was up.
