Crawl
You 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...

Love or hate
How 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...

Only 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....

Premium Member Letters Of Divorce
With 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 Woman
The 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 Anyone
I 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 Hourglass
He 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. ...
