Pseudo Artistry

Blood that screams mixes with tears of fears,
Over your hypocrisy and useless years.
Fresh cuts don't matter - your attentions yet wane.
It's just too easy to shut down, I could end this pain.

But, escape artists aren't artists at all.

When life ends the real journey begins, the journey to be
Above imperfection and glorified weakness everyone sees.
Life trickles into the drain of the sink, wash it and pretend
The veil is burning off,but there is only so much fire can mend

Besides, escape artists aren't artists at all.

Consummated

I’m not clever and you’re naïve.
Choices weighed, decisions made,
You can’t fix things if you leave.

It was real but will never again be.
Promises told, futures sold,
You lost your right to call me.

Years of stories and coffee dates
Lattes wasted, love tasted,
Sharing in the demon’s fates.

You picked a side and drew your line.
Lost salvation, no revelation,
Eternally chained to her shrine.


                         I hope you find what you're looking for.

In Your Hand My Confidence Lies

I’ve tasted disappointment 
And given up a time or two,
But I left that girl in another world,
When I fell in love with you.

Though the path ahead looks rocky,
No doubt I’ll ache for you each day.
My love will never falter,
Your ‘forever’ I'll always stay.

Granted we have made some mistakes,
But our resilience we will prove.
We’ll show them what our faith means,
Then from my nook I’ll never move.

With your heart you hold my trust,
In your hand my confidence lies.
With your lips you guard the secret to 
Love no trial could disguise.

Vulnerability

Someone to call when things start to crumble,
Someone who's there when I need to be humbled,
A friend to hold on when all else let go,
All mistakes, secrets, dreams you already know.
No coy diversions from honesty here,
A brave vulnerability without any fear.
A best friend born for those times of distress,
Someone, the secrets of my heart to confess.
Completely trusting this will never end.
Knowing on each other we will always depend.
No words to thank  you for helping me through,
I will always find solace in knowing I have you.
Your confidence in me provides courage unknown,
Your passion inspires me to find ardor my own.

Count To Ten and Fake It...

hold your breath... count to ten... just stay right here.
i pray the taste of your kiss never disappears.
giving way to the taste of tomorrow (so bitter)... 
my hands on your back show i'm not letting go... but you know...
this fire that started in my toes travels slowly up to my mouth,
               igniting every inch of my skin
this craving increases with every movement, every breath,
i'm trembling at the thought of you... aching to know if you crave me too.
and you said it was my love that you loved,
but if it's too much to contain will my devotion be enough?
just breathe... and we'll pretend i never came
and this fire that burns inside i'll try to douse, 
with the water that reality set out. and i can not fake this,
this pain that comes from patience.
and you don't have to hold me, i don't have to stay. just tell me that you want to
it'll be enough to help me save... this heart, thats burning down tonight.
with my hands on your back i show i'm not letting go... but you know.

Binding Up the Broken-Hearted

He binds up the broken hearted, i know that this is true.
For He bent down and comforted me, had a bandaid for my wound.
Like a small child with my "boo-boo"
He patted my back with words of solace and truth.
He let me see love greater than any human could show,
He opened my heart so consequences I could know.
Now thankful doesn't even begin to touch my feelings for him...
See, he didn't forgive me once, but time and time again.
He saves those crushed in spirit with his mighty hand...
Pulls us up from the wreckage, leads us to the promised land.

Bed Business Betrayal

You were everything I prayed against you to be.
You peddled your rhymes on Friday nights,
You sold your soul and your creative rights.
But the only one who saw the change was me. 

I feel your grip loosen and you’ve started to slip,
They consume you in the midnight hour,
Your dirty knees show that you’ve lost all power.
But I still reach out, I can see through your quip.

Your betrayal has now climaxed, and to it’s easiness you heed.
Your eyes can see only hatred and pain,
So as their whore you will forever remain.
But my eyes see the everlasting promise, the one you didn’t need.

To Scared To Speak

I'm bound by these shackles 
of your leave that won't leave.
You moved on back then
but my heart, it won't grieve.
Instead it denies truth
and swears that you'll be back.
I've tried so hard to fight,
strength of will I will always lack.
I'm so in love with you
like there has never been love before.
These goals, these hopes, these dreams
mean nothing without you anymore.
Even though unrequited
these feelings may never cease.
They'll never make it past my lips,
though they day by day increase.
So I'll listen to all your problems,
And then you'll listen to mine.
I'll still pretend you're just a friend,
And tell you that I'm 'fine'.

And So I Am Alone

like a black mass inside
so i am alone.
i stand tall and then i crumble
so i am alone.
if you give up, i can’t fight
so i am alone.
your words of concession broke me down
and so i am alone.

the life you lead, i know not of
so you are alone.
your friends, your feelings, your family
so you are alone.
if you call out, i can not hear
so you are alone.
i love you still ‘til my last breathe
but so you are alone.

time was needed to make it right
so we are alone.
we tried but we still made mistakes
so we are alone.
i am a mouse without my rock
so we are alone.
will you still be there when time is up,
so we won’t be alone?

Lethargically In Love

Now my eyes are heavy and my neck is weak,
And I’ve gone too many days without any sleep.
If I could just hear your voice, if I could just hear you breathe…
I’d finally get the rest I need.

Now I haven’t been hungry in quite a while,
And doing laundry has become my Friday night style.
If I could just see your face, if I could just touch your hair…
I’d finally start to care.
