Three Souls

One was a child 
so sweet and mild
Voice of a bell 
to ward off hell

One was a bell
with a crystal chime
To comfort the cat
and make the earth shine
 
Two was a cat
With a mysterious past
A dark view of the world
And a horrible wrath

Two was a mind
as dark as night
To protect the doll
That could not see the light

Three was a doll
With a broken soul
A shattered heart
With eyes a black hole

Three was a rose
Of pure white
Covered in thorns
As black as night

The Silence

And as she gazed down upon the writhing creatures below, the very thought she had so
strongly opposed, for a split second, was her own.

"Would it really be such a bad thing,
to toss a boulder off this wall?
To be the one who stopped the suffering?
To finally put an end to it all?

The pestilence, the poverty,
The larceny, the lying,
The mourning, the misery,
The destitution, the dying.

Would it really be such a bad thing,
to toss a boulder off this wall?
To be the one who stopped the crying?
To be the one to end it all?

The pain, the profligacy
The rape, the rotting,
The vindictive, the vulgarity
The sorrow, the suffering

Would it really be such a bad thing,
to toss a boulder off this wall?
To watch in horror knowing,  
I was the one to end it all...

The candor, the complexity,
The laughter, the loving,
The smiles, the sincerity,
The life, the living.

Would it really be such a bad thing,
to toss a boulder off this wall?
To watch in horror knowing...
I was the one who let it fall...

To be the one to create
The Silence..."

Anemone

She said 
she bled 
because she was alone in it
But to be honest 
she liked it quite a bit
And no amount of therapy 
could cure her minds disease
The pain was far too sweet 
and it came with too much ease

Have You Ever Seen a Rose Bloom In the Winter

I live in a palace of fools 
Where homemade disaster rules
And children cry in there sleep 
Its their nightmares that he eats
Just as innocence 
Stolen far too young 
A rose blooming in winter 
Is sweeter than one in June
Its novelty lasts forever 
Though its life ends far too soon

Stockholm

Every night I cry
myself to sleep for I
cannot see the point
in life after you die
My world shattering 
all around me
My quivering heart 
an amputee
It doesn't matter at all
I'm just waiting for the fall

Ian

I will always love you
In a way
I will never love another
The way I love you
Intoxicatingly toxic
I look at the moon
and I see your face
in the starlight 
I see you laughing
I see us
Together
But that is a life that will never be
A star that faded from the sky
Both you and I
We loved so deep it tore us apart 
from the depth of our hearts
They were as a black hole pulling 
each other in
feeding on our love
but it was too intense 
and it would have our lives
The only way to save me 
was to break my heart 
and my heart you did break
I often wonder
was it me you were saving
or yourself?

Elephant In Dungarees

I am in love with him
He doesn’t know what love is
I want to stay up all night with him 
When his mind is playing tricks on him
He says he cares about me
I care about him too
He said he loved me
I wonder if his love is true
I love it when he calls me
His baby g
Look at the clouds above me
What do you see
I see an elephant
In dungarees 
Is our love superficial 
Or does it run deep
I can feel his heart beating
When we are asleep
I want him to be closer 
This distance is killing me
But I just love him harder 
Every nigh we are together 
Two birds of a feather
I feel bound by a tether
I want to be with him forever
But this distance is killing me
When my baby loves me
Waivers day by day
But my baby loves me
Sometimes so it’s okay
In his arms forever
is where I want to stay

Yellow Chrysanthemum

It may not be over for you
But you ended it for me
And even though it’s painful
I guess I should be greatful
Because of you I met him
And now I’m happier 
than I’ve ever been.

Insomnia

I'm not sleeping anymore
The nightmares crawling through my head
Down my hair and across my neck
Slowly suffocating my last breath

I don't  know what to do
My heart is split in two
Do you think if I cut deep enough 
the pain will finally end?

Love

Perched on the tip of my tongue 
as if standing at the edge of a cliff
staring down at the steely waters below.
These words aching to take the plunge
but too afraid of whats yet to come
Will I cast my heart 
upon the jagged rocks below 
only to shatter my bones?
or will I dive 
into waters dark and deep
Wholesome, warm, and safe?

Every time i see you 
My heart threatens to leap out of my chest and off that cliff.
But fear is holding back my tongue.
Because of him, 
I cannot jump without reservation. 
And for that, I resent him. 

You turn my heart into an ocean 
wave after wave crashing down upon my chest 
as I feel your breath 
upon my skin.
floating softly
through your sea 
you are all I could want or need
But do you feel the same as me?
