Stockholm Syndrome

I miss your bones
Colliding into mine
I miss your skin
Leaving marks 
on my neck

I miss your knuckles
Bruised as they are
I miss my tears
Cascading 
down 
my 
face

I am 
your 
heaven
You are 
my 
hell.

Flesh and blood 
forever be
I
miss 
you
hurting 
me.

Everlong

If I could write a book
It would be the greatest story ever told
Of a kind and loving grandfather
Who had a heart as pure as gold

But now I travel through the seas of tombstones
Graves of those once loved in times gone by,
A tear falls, my feelings become numb
Another loss of a dearly beloved one

I could write a million pages
Though I wouldn't be able to say,
Just how much I love and miss him,
Every single day

"Time heals all wounds, give it a while"
And for a while it helps
I forget about the past
And I keep the memories at bay

But reality comes and shows it's ugly face,
And it brings back all the pain once more
If you try to block it out
Nothing much will been gained

The curtain of death brings memories of happiness and sorrow
For their ghosts walking among the silent rows
They quietly lie underneath the sky,
As their loved ones mourn for the time going by.

Juliet With No Romeo

She looks at him like he lights up her world
But he just thinks she is only pretty
He rejects the worlds she uses to swirl
He trashes her heart and paints graffiti 

She could not turn him into poetry
And she could not make him simply love her
Her love was grand like a sequoia tree
But his love was barely a small whisper

Gave up her life to things that made her cry
A small bottle of wine and medicine
Made her blood and stomach acidify
And all that was left was a skeleton

To think of all the sad streets he passed by

And so not for a moment did he cry.

21st Century Rainbow

Red.
The colour of love,
Anger and destruction
Blood spilled on the pavement
"Oh the thought of two gay men!"

Orange.
The colour of fire
Igniting anger, fuelling their veins
A coloured kid gets shot
Only racism to blame.

Yellow.
The colour of lemons
Just as bitter as your words
Making small, innocent children
Cut their delicate skin with knives

Green.
The colour of money
Greed and hatred
Controlling our systems
Making us all victims.

Blue.
The colour of the water
Pooling an drowning people
Anxiety crumbling the walls
Making our minds insane

Indigo.
The colour of midnight skies
Drowning our screams
Of sadness and depression
Swirling under control

                                           Someone please help us.

Call Me In the Morning

Lost in the mess you’ve made
Hoping to find yourself
Barefoot in the rain
But the clouds are heavy 

You once told me to listen to the ocean
You had so many words unspoken
No wonder you can't sleep
Lying on the floor; you’re broken

I remember you once said
“If I ever need a shoulder to cry on,
Just call me in the morning”
Now the image of you is in my head

You weren’t there for me
You went right past everything
While I was standing there
Right beside the willow tree

I saw everything that happened
And now that you’re in trouble
And for a moment everything blackened
Now that you need my help you come back crawling


I guess you can call me in the morning.

Heartache

Silence before screams
With its gallantries and scars
All hearts are different

No two are the same
Eyesight blinded by beauty
Hearts speak in volume

But it takes nothing
Your cold empty eyes freeze me
Your heart is frozen

Foolish Boy

Foolish boy
Can’t you see?
So caught up in her game
You won’t be leaving all the same

I stand by the sidelines
Feeling your world light up
As you see the witch you call “your love”
I can see you stepping on her landmines

Haggish-like nose
Legs skinny as a pole
Freckles stain her gloomy face
God, she’s such a disgrace

For I tried helping you
I tried opening your eyes
To not fall into the trap
That the creature you “love” is setting

All of her friends know her plan
Foolish boy, you’re so blind
Words that sting your ears
Everyone knows she’s not kind

Hair as dirty as her plans
Lips as small as the truth she says
Nails sharps like badger’s claws
She’s ready to tear you apart.

She was named after a flower you say?
She could’ve been named after a flytrap.
Foolish boy, she’s going to kill your hopes and dreams
When she’s done, she’ll throw you in the streets

And after all I did for you
You still chose water over wine.
And her alligator tears
Still show her darker side.

I tried saving you
But you “don’t need my help”
So I’m abandoning ship
And you can save yourself

For you lost someone you once called “best friend”
Just to be with someone whom you’ll never understand.

A Rose Garden

I was a blank canvas 
and you 
were the artist 
filling me 
with 
colour. 

And if I have
well,
I beg your pardon
but I never 
promised 
you 
a 
rose 
garden.

Poor Icarus

There is freedom waiting for you
“What if I fall?” you ask.
My dear, 
What if you fly?

    And as you open your wings 
        Like bones of bravery,
                        You move towards the sun
                                      Like moths to flames

                                           

                                         And terror strikes:

                                      Your wings melt away
                                    You swing your life away
                                 Ambition, the fire to be free.
                                          The power to fly.
                                  You’re just another Icarus
                                              Plummeting 

                                                  slowly 

                                               earthward
                                                 as your 
                                               tight-knit 
                                               bonds fail

                                                Your soul 
                                              leaving your 

                                                    frail

                                                   body.

Deal With the Devil

You’re searching for a saviour
In these hollow halls
Blood staining your clothes
Eyes as black as coal

"Heaven help me"
Says your unholy spirit
You don’t know where darkness ends
And where you begin.

You are bitten, raw with pride
As your bloody hands clench mine
You promised me an empire once
Have you forgotten that?

You’ve travelled 
so deep into the darkness
That you’ve perceived 
the moon as an illusion

You can’t keep dancing with the devil
And ask why you’re still in hell.
You can’t defeat the demons
You enjoy playing with.
