Life-Keeper

You are inside me,
Running through my veins,
Pushing along my blood,
Making sure it gets to its place,
You heal my heart,
When its in pain,
Tuned to your heartbeat,
It pumps blood again,
They eyes you provide,
So luscious,
So kind,
Show all that is true,
No lie can hide,
And the knowledge you share,
Vast in its size,
Cannot compare to feeling,
That your love provides

But now I don't feel,
Your love is not here,
My body is restless,
I've left my mind,
If you come back,
My mind will too,
Join you in my body,

Baby I've missed you.....

Sweet Sky

We like to bud heads
Almost every night
She has a mind that won't quit
And I one with no soft spot
She yells and I yell 
She leaves and I leave
So I sit and I wait
For the end to reach
And she waits and she sits
For I to give in
Then she's off to bed
Where ill comfort her pain
I'll come in and whisper
Let me kiss those soft lips
Rub her stone feet
And I'll feel those warm breasts
When the cats start to meow
I'll get up and feed them
Clean up their shit
Take one of my own
Then I rest for a bit
I look out my window
Far past that balcony
And I notice the sky playing a symphony
The moon does it job
Conducting it well
She then turns my direction
And smiles down on me

You'Re a Cutter

I'm a cutter
They tell me
Loving the blood
That stains my veins
The pain it serves
Becomes a lust
Yet my mind
Fills with disgust

The scars it leaves
Sunken and
Red
My hide will keep
My mind will dread
Guilty hands
Guilty blade
Let me go
Can't I,
Escape?

Your grasp is tight
Cold yet calming
Broken light
Stressed and charming
Hold me not
Unbroken will
When I give in
Time stands still 

This grotesque wrist
My blade kisses
I stare for hours
My sight devours
Take me away
Please let me go
Vertical misery
With others' words
As your artillery 

I am yours

Life Is a Drag

The expresión life is too short
is 100% wrong
life is too long and to much
for one to condone
its stretched into years
its made into decades
There isn't much to live for but 
if you find a reason
then your lucky
If have a will in the morning 
your blessed
if you have someone to hold 
then you've made it
but thats not how it is
reason turn into avoidance's
will turns in to resent
and someone to hold will turn 
back to hate you
but some how we must go on
to see where we land
to ride this thing out
and reach the end
but the end is too far
for this bag of life on my back
is to heavy 
it hurts
it won't let me out
don't try to off
thats the *****es way out
So they say
we must continue to blister our 
feet
to regret our decisions
and to somehow live on
The people we meet will always 
disappoint
they force on us new habits 
that the world creates for the 
poor
the ones without luck
without will
and without blessings
this life is long indeed
and the crap we experience is 
in fact an experience
nothing more
than one hell of a ride
and in the end
we want another turn

Lost Love

You were once good to me,
We both had fun,
We were hopeful,
Ambitious,
Mint in our time,

Your voice was soft,
With lips that I lust,
Elegant in your structure of 
thought,
Spellbound by words,
Your beauty takes over,

Besmeared in my mind,
Your love settles in,
Ensconced to my bones,
Your love is a sin

I gaze at your eyes,
Possessed by impingement
My  heart buckles
And cedes 

Craving your comfort,
To fill my addiction,
My thirst goes unsettled,
My craving unfed

I see that your gone,
The signs are all there,
I try to hold on,
I need you to stay,
But now I don't feel you,
Your almost away

Left in feign
Hoping you would return
Hoping you would love me 
again
I yearn for your warmth
I yearn your embrace

Now only memories,
Stained by my sadness,
With letters and poems,
I see you again

Crawl under my skin 
take over my body
And whisper to me

I love you babe

Drip

My hunger last
For days and nights
Willingly I cannot feed

This hunger lurks inside of me
Sworn off not too long ago
For I to give
Is for it to grow

Once it's fed
It wants more
The more I give
The less I live
The more I see
This consequential 
R
E
A
L
I
T
Y

My hunger grows
It swallows me
Takes me deep
To a fantasy
In nirvana with my need
It's feels so good
To finally breath
To finally see
My rubies. 
I'll let them D
                    R
                       I
                         P
They are and will always be
My fantasy

Reminder of My Life

Take me in
For I am weary
Take my hand 
Don't let 
Go
This world that I live in
I hide from me
I hide from wrong 

Show me love
Without condition
Bring it slowly
Bring it home 

Now I know
What I've been 
Missing
Now I know 
How much it
Hurts

In this cage
I live in shackles
My words surround me
They won't go
Regretful in there advent
They stain my heart
They stain my world

Do not judge
At what you see
These scars are painful
They poison me
But they are with me
Till I die
Until then
This pain
Resides

To My Dearest Friend

I haven't been honest,
I feel peaked
Ravaged
And likely to rupture
With anger and loathe
You render my mind

Why do you 
Listen
Embrace
And help me through
My struggles
My pain
Darkest time
Brings me to you,

Your sympathy settles
Soothing my mind
Your thoughts calming 
my soul
Pacing my heart
Ensuring a flow 

I feel your warmth 
Your love
And your creation 
A sanctuary of peace
my salvation

I can't get you out of my mind
I drink to you
To your existence
To your resistance 
To my insanity
And a fantasy 
Where ill always have you

This Is It

yup im a drunk
and i don't think much of it
I drink and i vomit
I curse and I yell
I don't go by societies rules
and ill be damned if you tell me what to do
this life is too serious
this drink is to harsh
my cigarettes burn
and my thoughts soothe
the un-forsaken mind
my cats meow too much
my girl likes to complain
my brother asks about money
and my parents about my sanity
but i don't want to talk
i don't want to feel
I want to let loose
and not think
about you
about this world 
or about how my life will turn up
I just want to sit back
drink
and relax
is that too much to ask for?

Thats Life For Yah

No tears
no fears
no possible positive
outcome this year
the wind blows in the wrong direction
the dogs bark at the wrong person
and the people
the people never know whats right

the bee's buzz by too close
the rain comes on the wrong days
and the suns burns 
all day
everyday

the days are too long
my memories are too short
the vodka never lasts
life is dull
not much changes that
the occasional problems makes it hell
the common fight gives us a story to tell
but we're always alone
always forgotten for some 2 trick pony
that is also alone

Life is cruel
But words hurt
Thoughts hurt
Humans are assholes
Their eyes support the pain
that makes us burst
into a weakening flame

i'll sit back and close my eyes
waiting for that fight to come
