-shooting Searing Stars-

The silky searing touch of sappy loving blood is all too much,

Milky stars melting into my murky mind as my body's red mud burns to the touch.

Make my hole riddled skin into astronomy,

Chart something pretty into my mortal flesh that holds too much within to be.

I see stars so let me be them,

Pressure building up into collapse to be the divinity of the friend they saw in him.

Dying, this body knows it to be raspberry meshed true.

Lying, I smile and laugh about the filth fleshed hue.

I wish not to be he who slithers in spite,

I wish not to be he who stares empty at his ceiling fast through the night.

But alas these eyes already a canvass for worlds to build,

Shedding and molding my mucked intent to be suicidally willed.

Alas it at last hurts too much to see,

So rather I pray for you to let me be astronomy.

-hopeless Romantic-

I want to be a strong and gentle lover,

Who grows insatiably lovesick in sweet parting from the sticky sadness of summer.

I want to be a beautiful bluebird,

Who flew north faithful because of some splendid story he heard.

I want to be silly, a fool, daft, a puzzling predicament, absurd!

I want my life and my strife to be displayed and upstirred!

I want to be a better lover to the thoughts that slither through my skull.

But close tender my seeing eye to see my bitter being withstood.

My closed eye cannot pry how I might ever amount to much good.

I would love myself if I could,

But I'm not entirely sure I should.

There's only so much I could ever be,

I close my eyes and I can't see,

So cast my fickle eyes into the empty sea.

I wish I were a lover.

-strawberry Sweetheart-

Strands of space lost in static surrounded me as I swirled.

Strawberry smirk scoured into my soul,

Heartstrings strumming on the words that pull.

It's true- you're darling and so dear.

But dearest fills the heart that spills with such fear.

My life- my doubt drawing so near to the brink of love,

Buried under a chorus of laughter descending from angels above.

But I stand and smile still,

Buried but breathing by sheer force of will!

Each spark of joy in my heart is an act of defiance,

Defying my heart and the nature of an unnatural world.

-treasure Tosser-

This morn' I watched a coin be tossed into the sea,

Glittering and goading of all things merry!

It sang the sweetest song in the moments as it glinted and flew,

It made me smile awhile in soft sincere reminder of you.

Then it sank in somber waning song to the bottom of the ocean floor,

I can't help but wish I'd heard a heartful or a hundred more.

And so I wept a good sum once again today,

Over the coin that fell into the bay!

-see You Around-

I don't like to say goodbye,

And I don't mind an honest white lie.

If you could hold me,

If you could love me,

If you could lie to me,

And tell me one last promise we both know you can't keep,

Could you please?

Because I don't wanna see the world die,

I'm sorry.

Because I don't wanna watch it all go by,

I'm sorry.

Because I just want to hold you like I used to,

I'm sorry.

And I just want to feel you as we fall with the hue,

I'm sorry,

Please don't forgive me.

I've watched mountains crumble,

I've seen gods stumble,

And I think I'd join their ranks if you said goodbye.

Weary is the heart that heaves a humbled mumble of a sigh.

Please don't forgive me,

I knew it was doomed from the start,

But that was never an excuse for me to tear out anyone's heart.

I walked down the street that blurted out its own name,

And I climbed that stone wall by the south shop to go slide down into the rain.

It was nice awhile then,

Lost in a line gathering folks up to safe haven,

But I started to miss your sunshine.

Wishing the thoughts I think could ever be mine.

I knew my mistakes,

Scoured into my flesh and acclaiming my spirits to falling frost flakes.

I'm sorry,

Please don't forgive me.

I burned my insides.

It made me cry.

It made me laugh.

You were there,

And I couldn't care.

It really didn't matter when,

My eyes bled out when you were there, 

And so softly I would stop and stare.

I'm sorry.

Please tell me it will be alright,

Tell me I will be alright.

I don't care if you're lying,

Because all I need is somebody to tell me to keep on trying.

My heart will always be with you.

I'll always be yours if you please put me in your soul,

Strum some music on my heartstrings as I let go.

Because I wanna be with you.

I don't care about the cold,

I don't want to grow old,

I wanna be with you.

It's warm by your fireside,

And I think I need someplace safe to hide.

I want to love everything and you,

Like there's nothing else in this world that I'd rather do.

It's such a long night.

And I'm restless in the dark.

The light's too bright,

But the moon's already scraped its mark into my heart.

And I can't help but smile,

And I can't help but cry,

And I can't help but laugh,

When you hold me so gently in your eye.

When you leave,

Please say "See you around."

Because I'm scared and I need something to relieve,

The sharp shards of frost curled on the tips of the ground.

Thank you.

I love you abound,

And I'll see you,

-selfish Killer-

Street lights never looked so cold before.

You float adrift in a rift lost under the floor.

You're crying,

We're crying.

You're trying,

We're trying,

But we both know we deserve far worse than this.

Taking flight in empty heart's wasteland bliss.

Falling,

Bawling,

It's all the same as you take a passionate plunge,

Grimy lining laced around the walls of this well greased in grunge.

You'll meet a man deep down there.

Not much for the cut of his hair.

I don't like him one bit,

But you've got nowhere else to go and we both know it.

He said something that sounded kind,

But I'm just stuck in my head out of my mind.

Don't trust him, he's a selfish killer.

Don't trust him, he tried to kill himself.

Selfish killer.

Don't trust him, he killed herself.

Sinful killer.

Nobody likes the selfish ones who fear.

Nobody likes the sinful ones to wander here.

Nobody can have him near as fate would serve,

Because dreaming of death is a privilege the likes of him don't deserve.

Drowning adrift under the weight of the way he is under a holy sky,

He doesn't deserve to die.

The selfish killer.

-we Walked-

I want little sparrows singing to me that everything will be alright.

I want a hug from each of my friends that lasts forever.

I want to hear you say that I am safe tonight.

I want to freeze to death when you go away so that I don't have to see the brunt of Mid-December.

I want you to pick me up,

And shatter me.

Pour my fragile soul into a tiny carrying cup,

And say "You matter to me".

I feel so fatal, I could break.

I'm so fragile, I can't cease to shake.

I'm tipping and slipping towards the edge,

I need you here with me when I'm shoved off the ledge.

It is a far ways down.

I don't want to be awake to hit the ground.

You said you loved me with a warmth that burns hotter than fire,

I'm calling you out as a liar.

I don't care about all the ways I could die tonight.

Why can't time just slow and let me burn in pyrophillia?

Just hold me and please scream that everything will be alright!

I feel havoc wreaked into my eyes for my face is blood streaked and I am terrified as I drown in mental mania.

I hope we get home soon,

'Cause these city lights are too bright for me to bear.

I saw a ghost in my room,

What in the world was she doing there?

I'm staring at my silhouette since something seems so wrong with the shape,

Wondering if you'll still love me when you realize I'm just deadweight?

They say to love your frivolous (but not fatal?) flaws,

But that's pretty hard to do when they're all bursting through the jaws of mashed monster maws.

I don't know where I came from,

Where I reign from,

Who I am,

Where I stand,

What am I even?

Can I even?

How the hell did I get here?
