Helplessly figuring life without your support.
Were you my first love?
Trying to mend the mistakes you caused.
Did you leave me on the shore?
Building a wall no one can tear.
Is this because of your faults?
Remembering what it's like having you around.
How did I live while having you damaging my core?
Scared to connect with your mirror,
because if I do, my life would be a loophole.
Guilt crawling into me while distancing.
Is this the power that a father has on a soul?
Smiling while I navigate through this world.
Jealous when I see that other people have more.
Triggered by every word that you spoke,
because only you know what's behind that door.
A wolf once said to a lamb how can it be that our hearts are so in love be we're so different how can it be we were meant to spend our lives together when the world is pulling us apart there's a wedge between us always something that drives us apart we love each other wholeheartedly but love isn't enough my dear lamb why does it have to be my dear wolf it's hard because it's meant to be and that's how it can be.
I keep trying even if I might fail
Another pull, now let me exhale
I keep saying I'm fine but I'm lying
I just dont want you to worry
I got to take my feelings and hide them
I cant let the whole world know them
I got the whole world on my shoulders
It's starting to feel like I carry boulders
It's no longer a secret that its tearing me to pieces
She no longer loves me, she stopped sending me kisses
Addiction keeps calling me to take a drink
I look him dead in the eye and try not to blink
I'm in too deep and I can't swim so I'm drowning
The stress is too much, my face cant stop frowning
I ask for help but they cant hear my voice
The more I scream it's like there's no noise
It's a gift and a curse how you still give me butterflies
My heart beats twice while my body dies
(verse 1)
You are not a stranger
to my ever loving anger
Violence is just a stain
hiding what’s in my abyss
Silence is empty bliss
tonight you’ll feel my strain
(Chorus)
I bring you down
to keep myself high
I keep you low
to bring myself up
feel my fist
twisted is my love
striked down by the glove
you are not dismissed
(verse 2)
Let the crimson rain
wash away the stains
from the pain
of the chains
keeping you down
Burdensome is the crown
forged by cataclysmic tendencies
and saturnine atrocities
(Chorus)
I bring you down
to keep myself high
I keep you low
to bring myself up
feel my fist
twisted is my love
striked down by the glove
you are not dismissed
Twisted Love

Once upon a time
There lived a princess
Gazing through the window
Of the gloomy, sombre castle
Knights came to rescue
No, not her but
Her beauty and her wealth
And everytime they lost
To the fire-breathing creature
She would rejoice with joy
You see he wasn't a beast
But her protector
Who lived only to see
The love in his princess' eyes.
He was small,
She stared at the wall.
His talks were pretend,
She wondered when would all this end.
I could see in their eyes,
They were so full of lies.
He asked,” What would you like to drink?”
“ Whisky. On the rocks”, she replied with a grin.
“I thought you were a sophisticated lady!”, he said
Her eyes widened, face flushed red.
I think I leaned too much to hear her reply
Coz she turned sharply and glared at me right in the eye.
I went back to drinking my soup,
She turned to him slowly and planned her next move.
Smiling she said, “If I am still sitting with you is because I am a sophisticated lady“,
He grinded his teeth, this was turning ugly.
“Girls like you should be tamed well,” he scowled,
She got up, walked towards him slowly,
A slap on his face and she was done.
This was a bizarre day for me,
To have witnessed the ugly end of a twisted love story.
If you gonna hurt me
dont hurt me like this
paralyze me a hug
kill me with a kiss
Burn me with passion and
and drown me with with love
without you in my life im just a vegetable cant move
and if i cant have you might as well pull the plug
Just leave me hanging high and dry from the tree of misery and despair
sentence me to 25 to life on death row with you, at the end put me in the electric chair
Kidnap me put me in the basement of your heart
tie me up in ropes and chains
im your prisoner of love, make me your slave
Im dedicated to you so no i wont run
muzzle me and chop off my hands if i try to call 911
With you forever is where i want to be
so with you forever and all eternity is where i'll R.I.P.
Don’t get it twisted
Mistaken lust for love
Panty’s in a knot!
Summertime blues
in the middle of fall
I'm faced with a problem
I can't fix at all
Sleep is hard to find
My feathers are bent
writing you love letters
that I hope get sent
My laughs are covered
My smiles are sick
Sun set suppressed emotions
that have yet to click
On bended knee I'm leaning
praying to above
With a kiss
I tell you this
"You are the one I love."
my heart pumps with desire
everytime you are near
only hearing your voice
gives me so much cheer
I am overwrought with emotion
everytime I speak your name
you twisted my world around
and I will never be the same
I have such a thirst and hunger
for your sweet kisses and your touch
but it's the warmth I feel inside of you
that I crave so much
no matter how blue I feel
you give me such a smile
just knowing you are there
with me all the while
I wish I could make you feel
what you do to me
how you make me smile inside
and how you've helped me heal
thank you my friend
for giving me your hand
no matter how twisted I become
I know you'll be there til the end
thank you for your love
They suck you in their torturous minds.
Only the lucky ones die first .
Their thoughts vigously take you in, racing against the beat of their black hearts.
Your remains are stripped, placed in jars of glass.
Starring at you they laugh.
Your face blank, an uncurable pain, your dimmed to size.
The phantoms you dream are just a twist of unsuspecting reality.
Casting tears upon your face, shadowing all happiness.
You choke on the thought of love.
Your sucked in the tunnel of misery.
Your wings clipped, your drowning now in the pool of tainted love.
Your heart scarred, lost in a daze of nothing.
Their heart sings a tune of false hope for you.
Hypnotizing -their words.
Your swallowed whole, lost in a Trans of sorrow and rejection.
You'll bleed your aching heart out, just to watch them drift away.
They'll rip you apart, grabbing you by all organs, destructing what was never there.
You'll melt from the fire that was never burning.
LOVE-to never be spoken again.
