Devoted To Impalement

Tears of destruction running down my face
Thoughts of decieval all over the place
Blood drops of red 
Are runninng down my head
Emptiness surrounds
Darkness too
My thoughts are seduced by visions of you
Pale colored promises
Broken lies
The truth of deception refects in your eyes

Rainy Day Blues (Final Resting Place Revised)

You're locked in your room and tied to your bed
There's blood on your pillow from the hole in your head
You lay and you wait, just welcoming death
No fight or struggle as you breathe your last breath
The rain is cold as it thunders and storms
But your blood flows red, silent and warm
The wind blows hard as it howls through the trees
You lay motionless as I beg and I plead
A tear drop falls on your pale colored skin
There's a smile as you whisper faintly, "Allison"
A gun shot to your head, a bullet to the brain
No matter how you word it, the results are just same
The lighting will flash and the thunder will roar
Time will move forward, but for you no more

3 Candles Burn

A flame is so pretty, silent and gold
I'm scared and lonely exausted and cold
I've not much to say for I lack inspiration
I'm just lonely and weak in my sad desperation
Don't tell me you get it 
Don't sympathize 
Don't feed me your crap 
Don't tell me your lies
A flame is so pretty, silent and gold
I'm scared and lonely exausted and cold

Scar Tissue

I dream in color.
Shades of grey mix to form shadows of black and white.
Pictures melt together like wax candles on a strawberry birthday cake.
I like roses, the red ones flecked with black tear drops.
The one's with scars and stains that refuse to fade with time.
I relate to their pain.
They stand tall with the look of disgust painted upon their tattered leaves.
Heads are bowed and eyes are averted as passerby refuse to take notice.
Shame, it makes the world go 'round.

Emotional Upheaval

Transparent happiness ripples in the wind that
Carries me into twilight
Invisible feelings sparkle in the moonlight then
Drip onto naked skin

Verity
quickly covered
Hidden, 
Like shadows in the dark

Fear keeps me silent.

Silliness
like a band-aid ripped off 
Is stinging truth

The heart on my sleeve
A deceptive impression of
Secrets buried deep

Will you be my shoveling muse?

To Masticate (I'M Hungry)

yummy chewy 
yucky gooey

Hide it hoard it 
We all adore it

suck it slurp it
guzzle it burp it

Soft or crunchy
Choose your munchy

Bite it lick it
In your mouth is where ya stick it

Temporary Love

Adolesence at its most obvious.
Soft whispers spoken under sweet smelling tree tops.
A moment is shared, but a life time passes.
Look back upon the cold quiet walks. 
Dream small as not to be dissapointed. 
Hope not, love fades as do ashes blow.
Birds chirp in shadowed trees.
Dreams are cast into the darkness.
The same shadowed trees touch young lovers as they glide along paved earth.
The moon shines; it's light is eternal.
Love fades when day breaks.
Painted skies above urban streets touch icy roof tops littered with yellow frisbees and 
Little green army men.
The kind you thought you could buy at any store, but it was a lie.
Sweaty palms and nervous glances are common place among the streets that caress broken 
hearts. 
Harsh words screamed at sobbing shadows will tear holes in her soul.
Wounds heal, but always scar. 
Time passes.
Love is shared.
Things will never be the same...

Tears Are For the Dead

Acid tears that run down my cheeks like a snail on salty sidewalk
Eating through my skin
Burning off layer after layer of innocense
Dripping down my neck onto my heart
Searing through flesh and consuming my soul
My tears are hungry for heartache and that's all I am
Within minutes I go from little more than human to nothing but a hollowed corpse
Souless and alone in the wake of this tragedy I consider this a blessing
Freedom.
I can only feel ashamed
It's my fault I released them, those blissful tears of destruction
I let them free
My tears are the death of me

You Tell Her You Love Her....

You say that you lover her, then leave her to die.
You say you'll be there, but leave her to cry.
Similarties
Misundertandings
Arguments
Fights
She smiles, you imitate
She asks, you initiate.
Hunger
Fear
Lost
Alone
You laugh, she cries
You leave, she dies
Empty
Scared
Tired
Quiet
You run, she'll follow
She says today, you say tomorrow

Questions Unanswered

Another lonely walk down
Another lonely street
I'll silently just stroll along
While dragging my two feet

Why do people do this?
Why don't they understand?
Why am I so lonely
When I know I'm not the only [man]

Another sad wave now
Another sad sad smile
I'll contently nod my head
While I count off one more mile

Why do people do this? 
Why won't they go away?
Why do I keep on walking
When I really want to stay?

Another day has passed
Another day has come
I'll quietly keep on walking 
While I hum a steady hum
