Aimless souls,
Follow my lead.  
I’m broken and blind too,
So let me lead you.

Misery loves company, they say,
So jump on the bandwagon to far, far away.

Through the clouds and the tears,
We’ll fight through our fears.
Your cold hand in mine,
I promise- we’ll be fine.

Let’s go to ocean.
Let’s stare at the stars.
We’ll see it all when we go far.

Pain and misery will linger,
They seemingly always do,
But we’ll figure it out-
between me and you.

Your broken heart and mine,
I promise, we’ll be fine.  

Your broken heart and mine,
Baby I promise we’ll be fine.

Door slams, you’re gone.
Silence becomes my apartment.
With the exception of the rain,  
I only hear my own thoughts.
They’re killing me.  

I don’t know how to be here, in this space.  
I don’t know how to be here, looking you in the face.
Feeling no love, but giving all I have.
I don’t know how to be here.  

No contact or apologies or doorbells.
Are you gone for good?
Maybe it’s better this way.  
We fight almost everyday.
I’m not sure if you love me the way you say you do.

I don’t know how to be here, in this space.
I don’t know how to be here, looking you in the face.
Feeling no love, but giving all I have.
I don’t know how to be here.

My mind is cluttered with memories, good and bad.
My heart- empty and my soul- confused.
You’ve given me happiness and utter heartbreak at the same time.
Whatever you gave, I accepted anxiously.
Until you took it all away from me.  

I don’t know how to be here, I don’t know how to be here.
I don’t want to be here anymore.

“We live in a shallow world,” she said.  
Our time’s limited and our sins are ample.
Our crimes are many, our loves are few.
People treat each other poorly and often miss their cue.

Society puts life on camera- we all must act the part.
No longer does character rely on a pure heart.
The best actors and actresses prevail,
The others subside to boredom and daydreaming.  

Liars know me quickly.
It takes one to know one, as they say.
Together we haunt the world and hunt for our prey.
We’ll ******* over,
Time and again.  

I’m an actress.
I do it well.  
I know what to say.  
I know what to omit.
My timing is impeccable.

The honest people love me
Can’t get enough.
They idolize me, look up to me, seek me out.
Those poor, weak, pure human beings.
Loving me is like loving Ecstasy.

I’ll make you see things.
I’ll give you highs you’ve never experienced before.
My lips are sweet and my words are intoxicating.
You don’t stand a chance.
You’ll fall under my spell,
You always do.

And then I’ll continue to eradicate my subconscious emotional terror,
Laying it all out on your shoulders.
You can take it,
You men are always so strong, after all.

You’ll bend until you break.
I’ll watch in silence with terror of what I have done.
There’s nothing left of you.
There’s nothing left of me.
We’re through and so is this game.
On to the next walk of shame.
My hands are shaking.
No love here- or there.
Maybe somewhere in between.

My hands are tied.
There’s no way out.
This is where I live
This stage of mine,
to dance and sing on,
In my mind.

I think I have lost my mind.
I’ve said this too many times.
Where did go?  
How did it get there?
And why didn’t it bring me with it?

My heart is lonely,
Without it’s backbone.
My body is left to stand alone.
Confusion becomes me.

I think I have lost my mind.
I’ve said this all too many- too many times.

Her love for you isn’t real.
No, no, it just can’t be real.
For it is circumstantial, biased, and shallow.
Her lips twitch when she says the words:

“I love you for you
Not your money, your car, your biceps or your security.
I love you blindly”
She said with eyes wide open.

Vices

They **** u in,
Hold u back,
Push u forward,
Slow u down,
Speed you up.

Pick your poison,
They’re here to stay,
To make all your problems go away.

“Vanish,” they say as your hand picks them up-
The word that should be their middle name.
They never fail to erase the pain.
Their means justify the end.
Take a shot and put your heart on the mend.

Your blood pressure’s rising
Your heart’s beating faster.
You’ve got nowhere to go.
So just sit back, and take them slow.

Where to go from here
Now, the coast is clear.
The air is foggy, your mind’s no longer here.

Your heart slowly becomes cold as ice.
Trust me, I know,
Freedom always comes with a price.
