She lies within it's realm
And never knows or never says
where tide will go to helm

Gravity is telling time 
line by line
my future is told
but I will rest assured
death lightens the load.

Looking one straight in the eyes

When telling a whopper
Because telling of lies he denied

Fire Leaping From Your Soul

What fire leaping
From your soul
Saying the
Last goodbyes
What shade of 
Gray shadows
Telling their story
Still ghost passing by

Truth Screams

surprise surprise,
telling yourself not to care
doesn't actually work.
It only reminds you how much
you want things to be different.

Declared Coffee

Declared a coffee
it had to stand
And honor all
that made it brand

To say it sat
for just the cause
Of telling others
voted plaus
