Six Feet Under

Locked up in a hotel 
stronghold, dog leash
dog pound 
every nook and cranny downtown 
don't high tale it to the gutter 
six feet under in the ground

Admire My Pain

Each tiny detail 
is wrapped up 
in the catastrophe 
spread out 
cracked
if it were shattered
broken
a mess on the floor
wear your boots
protect yourself 
somehow 
from the pain
you'd feel if you were 
to walk barefoot
across the floor 
I envision this,
no emotion showing 
he steps back 
to admire it all

Whirlwind of Violence

It's crashing 
my heart trembles 
leaps out of place 
searching for crystal 
diamonds in the city streets
his breath melts ice like crumbs 
frost drops to the ground like ashes
keep listening to the rumble of his voice 
lightening that crashes 
the whirlwinds of violence 
telling me which path to take

Loving Myself Even When I'M Alone

You told me no one could ever replace you  
in my life 
and for awhile I thought that to be true 
until one day I woke up alone 
realizing 
I replaced you 
I can love myself 
with out you

Set Up For Failure

My thoughts race through our moments together so fast 
your no where near my future only in my past 
it was over
tried so hard knowing from the beginning 
it wouldn't last

Iron Sharpens Iron

Kisses of an enemy 
fly at me 
their all around 
iron bars sharpen 
cut right into me 
friends wound 
I'd rather have pain around 
my soul is free 
though it never leaves the ground
