Aphrodite

pink lips, golden hips,
this beauty makes me power trip.
i am aphrodite at the after party
sipping golden apple martinis by the pool.
chosen by troy, i am the fairest of them all.
 
even your best friend called me a goddess.

Just a Girl

i've always been the one to walk away first.
always kept my heart locked down deep.
i was always the one the boys wanted to wife,
and always the one girl to never want anyone.
 
i'm always the one to latch on to one.
Always the one to build a home in others.
do you understand what it means
to need someone so tenderly?
 
so forcefully and demanding.
i'm too harsh for my own heart.
i don't give myself a real chance
to be something truly great.
 
i thought finding warmth
in the empty holes of your heart
was how real love was meant be.
i thought the holes were there to be filled.
 
but your trenches are just warnings
to all new lovers lost in your eyes.
and the hollow words i mistook for real love.
 
what happened to our future?
was it ever really ours?
did you know all along
it would be yours alone?
 
who will come after me?
do you ever think about if this is forever?
was the last kiss really the last?
was the last fight it?
 
what if the last time
was the last time to say those words
that will destroy me til the end?
 
and don't ask my how my day is going.
it is the same as the week and the month.
any time without you isn't really time at all.
is this the last time i will have to say "i'm sorry"?
 
i shouldn't have made you my home.
but i just cannot believe
that we won't do the same things
we did just a month ago.
 
and i still take your back roads
when i get my morning coffee,
even though i always get lost.
sometimes i cry the whole car ride, alone.
 
and when i am getting wasted,
you better bet i'm on the best stuff,
because i know how much you'd love it.
to see me doing fine on my own.
 
i always want to make you proud
even if you aren't happy with me.
is this the last time to say those words?
the ones' that took all i had to offer.
maybe to you is it.
 
i'm always the one to walk away first
but babe you were different.
and i'm not quite sure how to deal.
 
when you tell me you'll love me forever
but can never see us always together
i get scared thinking you're doing fine
with my expected loyalty in the back of your mind.

Guilt

it's just the guilt of being me
that makes the light too dim to see,
that stands in the way of being free.
that little spot that disagrees
and brings me down on my knees
is the same spot that begs and pleads
for someone to pick up my apologies.
the shadows in my eyes won't let me hide
from the people i love so very dearly.
my silence will show and distance will grow
when i know they're seeing me clearly.
viewing the world from a nosebleed seat
because gutting guilt isn't discreet
and it gets heavier with each person i meet.
sweet and kind with an unsolved mind
designed to dismantle every thought
good or bad
glad or sad
till nothing means anything anymore.
the guilt trips me up and i'm sorry.
i know it's getting repetitive but i'm sorry.
i don't mean to be so gloomy
and i'm hoping you see through me
because i just need someone to tell me
not everything is my fault.

Lost At Sea I

let me put my legs around you, baby.
while we're laying in the wake of the storm.
take me softly through the waters.
carry me through one more time.
 
i know how you're feeling.
don't think you're ever alone.
let me put my arms around you, baby.
we are lost at sea.
 
the waves have me, now.
i thought i could see the shore
but the current is so strong
and i am so weak from you.
 
i love only you
and it's killing me.
we are lost at sea.
 
i couldn't stop the wind from blowing.
can you see me?
i feel like i'm not stirring you a bit.
 
i want you to swim to me.

The Kids Are Funny, Honey

the kids are acting funny, honey.

they like to play out in the fields.

they don’t care about our money

or how much our company yields.

they want to see the flowers bloom

under cotton candy skies.

they don’t see how adulthood looms

past their milkshake soaked french fries.



the kids are acting silly, billy.

glueing their fingers together.

too preoccupied plotting wet willies

to be thinking about forever.

they haven’t a clue about the economy,

they are too busy playing house.

how do they understand monogamy 

when they don’t really love their spouse?



yes, the kids are quite crazy, miss daisy.

i hear them singing about posies and falling.

they prefer earth when the air gets hazy.

they are angels listening for heaven’s calling.

when the night blankets the ground

the kids strike matches on rocks.

the spark it makes is their favorite sound

and they put out the flame with their socks.

Love On My Lips and Lust On My Hips

darling, are you happy now?
i brought myself back to bed.
although i'd much prefer instead
falling asleep on your couch,
wrapped in blankets and myself.
so even if you aren't happy now
please just say you are for me.
 
i feel your smiles writing lovenotes
on the backs of my eyelids.
i feel your fingers on my heart.
if i don't get myself out quickly,
darling, i will turn you into art.
 
you make it so easy for me to succomb
to your devilish ways.
with the sunken eyes of lover's retreat,
i unravel at your feet.
darling do you love it all?
oh please just tell me that you do.
 
darling, you know i meant every word i spoke.
you were the sun hiding behind a cloud of smoke.
you took my breath with every guilty look.
sometimes you make me feel like a complete joke.
i love you too openly to ever think i could run.
you have my heart in one hand and in the other a gun.
 
i feel your smiles on the backs of my eyelids.
i see your fingers writing lovenotes on my heart.
if i don't get myself out quickly,
oh lover, i will turn you into art.

Purification Vacation

i can see the limitations and the complications
of your fixation on forming the proper relations.
please don't let the temptations cloud your visions
or a better man.
translation, don't let lust be the causation
for this love's disintegration.
 
i never need your validation
or a clarification on this modification of love.
this is the purification vacation, baby,
just positive vibrations.
no altercations just relaxation.
this is the sanitation of love.

The Loudest Silence

the silence almost too heavy for my woozy body.
outside, kissing a cigarette, "goodnight",
i scuffled through the neighborhood. it was so quiet.
once i stopped moving, stopped thinking, stopped feeling...
i noticed the loudest noise.
climbing through my ears, rupturing the drums.
the creeking of my bones stopped for just a moment.
a lapse in times
where nothing seemed as it was.
i was nothing, but a speck of dust
floating. i looked up at the stars
and saw a thousand years of sisters
reaching down for me. all the fears
seemed so small. a numbing bliss.
smoke dripped from my mouth
and i heard one of them snicker,
"just a child to this earth
and already planning the great escape."
and yes, i know,
the slowest form of suicide resides in each stick.
when will i stop? is it the weather
that has warped my heart so?
the bitterness clinging to flesh.
each shivering bump gives way to this despondency.
once so jagged and scattered,
my new exterior scarred and healing.
if you can even call this recovery.

oh, god, do you see me?
may you happen to glance at this retched soul
and see the vacancy in my gaze.
i've not a thing for you but this shell.
the pitiful excuse of a human being.
may you guide me through the years
and help me dry these tears.
i pray each night, you'll bring me home
for i have learned that i am no one's hero, 
not even my own.

Risk It

step right up! step right up!
come on up, folks!
the only thing you have to lose
is your mind!
the name of the game is love.
now, let's see how far you go to risk it all!
put your soul and heart on the table, folks,
that's the price! go big or
go home. it's agame of shivers,
thrills,
tears,
lust,
laughs,
and above all.. madness!
so, what are you waiting for? 
step right up! find out what you're really made of.
the ultimate test.
the most intimate of experiences 
ever to be viewed in the presense of the public eye!
a world beyond belief? or a hope too far fetch to ever catch?
discover the tragedy trapped inside, right here!
gather round, gather round.
what are you hiding for?
