The anger grows larger than the hurt.
The tide changes, disappointment floats away.
Resentment seeps in deep, to the marrow, and takes it's place.

Her eyes tell a story
Of anger and pain,
You think she is happy
But just look again.

Hidden under her clothes
Are the scars of her past,
A roadmap to places
She finds herself at last.

The tears rushing down
As she tries to lift her chin,
Her heart at a shatter
This fight, she won’t win.

Her smile is now painted
A master of disguise,
And you can see it all
Just look into her eyes.

The sun has just risen
He awakens another day

Stop selling me insurance
that I cannot pay

His posture stiffens,
getting ready for daily commute

Another round he goes
of that nightmarish brute

that he has to see
Everyday at his job

The cycle keeps going on
Until the day his heart stops

But before that, nothing obstructs the decree
He keeps to the routine line

Before the law, no individual rises
Work is the only sign

Get out of the system, before
its too late;

When the darkness consumes you
that will be your last fate.

Both can ****
        The only difference is
                      Cigarettes shatter lungs
         She shatters everything

            I remembered the first moment
my lips pressed the filter
     as I lit it up breathed it all
                savored every smoke
       as if we covered up painful lies
        in a container of painkillers

The same way  
we used to pressed our lips
     sparked something between us
           savored every moment we had
    as if our love was a rose
               in a valley of tulips

I watch people drown in pools of complicated
but I don't think it's really that hard to stay afloat
It's actually quite simple really
Just keep your pants on
