Daddy

this I dedicate to you Daddy
Billy Joe Scott
04/10/1958-
02/20/2020



The eyes I've seen 
My entire life
Are smiling back at me
The laugh I've dreamt
Is contagious
As I knew it would be
The words of wisdom
My ears have needed
I'm tireless just listening
And the love that's there
In that heart of his
Was mine all along
The kiss at night 
Upon my cheek
Is forever emblazoned there
And the blood in his veins
Same as mine
Gives a history of me

Just Fkning Hear Me For a Minute

Just fkning Hear Me For A Minute
And it will make you really see
Instead of only guessing
Would you just please
Put me where I belong
On the ground!
In the ground!
Strip me from the flesh  
To the bone
And know that I'm sorry
But do it again! 
Again
With eyes blackened 
By the eternal images burnt
Of my poison to passion embrace
Destroying all that is good
Take the head and heart
Blood dripping fresh
As if able to live through
Unknowing their own death
Tie my hands to my feet
And push me to break
As I broke this gift
Unable to repair
Make the screams pierce my soul
So my pain is infinite 
Never to leave me be
Never to comfort
Spread my pieces amongst the stars
And drain my blood to sea
My bones keep buried alive
When will you come see me burn?
Pluck my eyes
Pull my hair
Split my belly wide
Make sure no life can live
Where a monster tries to breathe

Clicks

Hypnotized by the clicks
And soothed into sleep
I wish this dream would end
This nightmare has begun my hate
And leaves no room for sanity
Lurking always out of sight
Running from demons that aren't even mine 
Screaming for someone to hear me
Waking eventually only to find
My monsters are actually real
Living outside my mind
In sunlight
Shadows chasing
Faster faster
Never outrunning this fear
Captured and tortured
And eventually devoured

To Fiic Love Fiik

to FIIC love FIIK

entangled in a web of your lies
hanging on by this thread
nobody to hear my cries
only silence and darkness instead
you let me believe you weren't ready
and your focus wouldn't be us
like I was just being needy
that I had no reason for mistrust
I felt like I was going mad
and couldn't understand why
but what I needed you already had
yet still convinced me of your lie
you say I'm wrong with my theory
as to when took place this event
rather my birthday you left me teary
and your heart with your mind just went
so you'd have someone return to your heart
that kept you strung out all these years
and reject this love from the start
refusing to face all your fears
you don't get to keep me this time
holding on for what never will be
what you've done to my love is a crime
you could have been happy with me
but you'll never know cuz I'm done
I won't be the fool for you now
and when pain returns from this one
you won't have to understand how

In Darkness, In Light

In Darkness
I stumbled, I fell
I was lost
Unable to see where I was
In Darkness
I shivered, I cried
I was cold
Unable to make my way Home
In Darkness I was blind
Confusion filled my mind
Sorrow filled my heart
Doubt filled my soul
Keeping me in Darkness
Even as I felt the sun's rays on my face
Until I felt the Father's love in my heart
And I heard the Father's voice in my ears
Again
And now I can feel the Son's rays on my face
Again
In Love
I am sturdy, I stand
I am found
I can see where I am
In Love
I am strong, I laugh
I am happy
I know my way Home
In Love I am wakened
Wisdom fills my mind
Joy fills my heart
Hope fills my soul
Keeping me in Love
And Light

Hey Gotta Light

Hey Gotta Light?!
No I don't mean the flame. 
A light to guide me
As I walk away in shame. 
A flame to light the fuse 
To the bomb ticking inside
That anticipates eagerly
To expose all that I hide.

True Love

I see you!
Up ahead, waiting
With your arms outstretched to me
Anticipating the moment 
Two hearts become one beat
Setting in motion the destiny
Only we can meet
You and I are heroes
To these left here to rot
To show the existence of life's mission
True Love

Hollow Heart

this hollow heart is still beating,
after you ripped out the Love and set it on fire
i'm not sure where to begin
put out the flames or let the embers turn ash

this world keeps moving
as I stay immobilized
there is no safe place anymore
no home where I belong

i feel my blood turn to ice
coursing through this frozen shell
becoming something else
cold, empty, alone

you took the love i gave you,
turned it ugly and mean
you laughed at my tears
and blamed it on me

no one deserves this life,
not even you
but this is what you've left me with
no answers, no reasons, no excuses

just nothing

so you win and i lose
but i wasn't really playing at this game
to win

and I haven't lost what was never mine

I do at least get to witness
your self-destruction 
from afar

Happily Never After

Am I just supposed to forget
Or act as if I were only dreaming
That I somehow managed to imagine
This love that I'm feeling
Can you explain how it happened
Tell me every small detail
Do you want me to believe
It was all some fairy tale
The "once upon a time" girl
Has grown up quite a bit these days
And our "happily ever after"
Feels like we've parted ways
I know that I'm no princess
Except when you hold me near
Chasing away all my nightmares
My Prince, the monsters fear
Coming in to save the day
All with true love's kiss
But now you've gone far away
And I feel something's amiss
Cuz when we met
With love's first sight
And gave in to magic's destiny
Knowing every step felt right
Has my curse been lifted
Setting me free from despair
Has the spell been broken
Returning Glass Slippers to air
The Wicked World has enslaved us
Banishing all beauty and light
Yet the sweet, brief dance under glow of the moon
Will no doubt haunt my every long night
If that be the dream, please I beg let me sleep
For the nightmare upon waking, I weep
I'd rather live the fantasy dream
With your love as my cover
Than walk the reality of darkness
Without you forever

Nocturnal

Screams from darkness
Pitch black night
Carrying me to wander
Through inky thickness
Slowly stepping, creeping about
Hoping to become the scene
Listening keenly to those prey
Running from destiny
Approaching the hour of capture
And harvesting of souls
Raped from innocence
And fed upon by vultures
Picking and plucking
From long dead bones
