Pillars of salt

You cut me here,
without ever saying a word.

  Then you twisted and turned,
your knife into a sword.

  Then you took back your word,
now I'm never sure.

  Then you took my soul,
not knowing what it's worth.

  So I cut my self,
 to show you where it hurts.

  Don't look back there's pillars of salt for sure

  So your dreams washed ashore,
gamma waves of rain.

  There's a life of pain,
hidden within three words    (I love you)

  So you sold my soul,
 not knowing that its cursed.

  So I cut myself
 to show you where it hurts.

  Don't look back there's pillars of salt for sure.

The dark side of rainbows

In a wake of fear right here, so unforgiving
and beautifully forgotten again.

I'll remember so you don't have to forget
my name again. so oblivious to all of
our pain.

so we shed our skins again. beloveds 
in the next life Ill love you for a lifetime

But today ill stay right here on the dark side of rainbows
theres no telling where the pain goes

and some how we lost our faith
 we blame it on the last time there's
no telling where the past dies

we tend to stay right here
lost in our perception with a veil of discretion

In a wake, a wave of fear it carries all the last
times there's no telling when the past died

so today, ill stay right here on the dark side of rainbows
just blowing where the wind goes

there's no shame, no fear right here on the dark side of rainbows 
theirs no telling where the pain goes

"please don't let it runaway with me"

Randall vs Randall

what is left of me,
 once you have taken all that I am?
what words are left for me to wallow in
 after you say goodbye?
in who's arm do I find comfort,
 now that mine have been shackled?
how do I say I love you
 when I can't bring myself to love again,
 or have I ever?
how can I buy your forgiveness,
when there is so much, I cannot afford forget?
To whom do these memories belong to now
if I'm not the person I once claimed to be? 
if only Your smile could mend my broken heart.
I would be a fool to heal myself with those who pass me by.
So, I walk backwards now looking for you again.
Trying to find who I was before you left.

Give me rhythm

Hold me in stride with one, nay two left feet.
Our feet tangled so our eyes never meet.
who is to lead with shadows that wallow.
Spinning hand in hand it feeds the hollow.

Equilibrium the measure, the stance.
We watch love grow melodic, eyes entranced.
resilient the floor that bares the load.
Newly beloveds, cloudless their abode.
 
Two souls in the dance, they move like one.
Destiny the journey, the setting sun.
To walk the walk, they move like lovers do.
After the storm, petals covered in dew.

The measure, the stance their eyes still engaged.
The floor still bares the load, their rhythmic gauge.

Omni

I'm stalking the ground.

Treading the lines between,

  half human and distorted frequency.

Slowly I recede. I'm chocked off from everything.

  A distant recollection, an obligated memory.

I barely made out. Shadows of insecurity obscure my mind.

  Fruition in a haze of lies. Ill reanimate. I'll tell myself anything.

I'm losing my soul and it's the cost of everything.

  if anything goes then everything goes with me.

It's all my fault that's what you said to me.

  Im losing my mind. A decomposing family tree.
 
I try to remember, I cant remember anything.

  If that's what you want 

JUST STAY THE F$%K AWAY FROM ME.

Don't be scary

She had black lipstick stains on her cigarettes.
A broken doll with eyes like the abyss.
Two barcodes hanging on to both wrists.
She said wait right here your really going to love this.
She bit my neck, blood draining from her lips.
A pair of fish net tights stuffed into both slits.
Then she went down, and I went down.

She looked me in the eyes and said surprise.
 I'm doubtful if you make it past the sunrise.
then she took my hand and lead to the dark slide.
Now I can't remember the sunrise.
she went down and I went down to hell.

What was I saying

I don't want to imply that it was bad.
but what I've seen is drenched in black.
And I don't want to feel this way for you.
So scrape me out of you, 
and I'll lead you out of me.
I don't want to live this way for you.
Only time will tell how this will end
there's to many scars to heal against
And I don't want to die this way for you.
So take me by my wounded hands
I don't want to be your f$%#ing friend
I don't want to be away from you
so look deep within my eyes 
push in past this frail disguise
I could never be that strong for you
so scrape me out of you and ill
RIP you out of me
I don't want to live this way with you. 
Its chaste in the way that this will end
dejection is my only friend
I don't wanna fight for you.

What lies behind the key

You asked me a question without saying a word.  Could I ever love again?
I couldn't find the answer.  should I ever want to?  The words that escaped my mouth. then you asked them to show you things you already knew to be true. So I obliged.  No deflections or misconceptions to lead you astray.  The ways of a slippery tounge.  Should I just show you the wrong side of a key?  Let all the memories melt away.  Twisting and rolling like two serpents wrapped in lustful irresponsibility. Laying half naked beneath floors.  Should I take another by her hand. Blowing on clouds, foolishly trying to piece myself together with a bag of broken shards?  Smoke rings and endless possibility. Don't get lost Staring into the gaze of a gazers stare.  Looking through the eyes of what you wanted to see.  All the while burning with a torch every memory of you and me.

Five dollar words to say I've lost you

My dearest love,

I pray that theses words find the strength to covey beyond the mere definitions they keep. I seem to have lost you in a riddle, a battle of inability's. or at the very least I've misplaced you within corrupted ideas of what you and i once were, a totality thru a proximity of souls.  Though my actionless vernacular vastly tells a different story to the contrary. It is only but the corner piece to a thousand parts, that  I have yet to lay.  still i find myself mesmerized by the haunting of foreign eyes. subsites  for your lack of understanding or for a lack of better words. Not so long ago they held me to the flames of lustful desire. I fell Persecuted for the feeding of a lonely heart.  The loss stretches beyond mere mortal comprehension. Its vastly seamless in its threaded existence. boundless, I know no measure to compare my love to thee extended hands and feet are of  consequence. there is no resolve.

deterioration

My mind racing behind a cloud of smoke.  The systematic deterioration of my life's work. yet most of the time I sit smiling, open minded to the possibility's, and to the actions that require an opposite and equal reaction to the options that lay dormant .  Nothing came to mind.  Rather id watch my own demise then be called to make a claim on another's life.  So back to my decomposition a composition I'm very familiar with. My aid might be just inadequately enough to began the healing processes of someone who needs the primordial elements from my destruction to find the reasons and meaning in their own lives.  I know I'm not obligated to pick at the scabs but my empathy wont allow them to hurt alone. Those influences that persuade, to succumb to healing.  To not watch the final grains of sand funnel down.  To accept that by holding on there is not another turn in this mortal life of flesh and bone.  Even the prettiest of flowers must deteriorate to live again, to blossom`
