Ink Stains

Tea drips on pages filled with your thought,

happy and pensive, and demons to be fought.


Tears fall on pages filled with hopes,

stupid boys and breaking hearts, strung together with ropes.


Ink stains on pages, mapping out your life,

your triumphs, your failure, your pleasures, your strife.


Write your soul,

Sing your pain.

Forget your critics

and just watch what you’ll gain.

Affection? A fiction
Reoccurring fabrication of the truth

Absolution, a vindication
****** tendencies within the youth

A realization, it's an obsession
The burden of acknowledgement is the proof

As we lay beneath the stars,
Here I lay among the scars
The world is black and white to most,
But to me the world is just a ghost
My heart was solely yours to find,
And long after came my mind
The black and white became so clear,
I was yours and you were here
The heat of summer came around,
All our clothes fell to the ground
But I could not be yours to keep,
That idea seemed incomplete
For as the autumn leafes took fall,
I was no longer yours to call
I knew some day that it would end,
For now I needed just a friend
A friend in you was a friend in me,
We seemed to be so joyous and free
You came so quickly and dug so deep,
I wished I was only yours to keep
So here i lay beneath the stars,
With you the source of my scars

Hold down the rhythm
For the songs unsung
Upon an empty dance floor
All the while fixing to be hung
Bite the bullet
Lest you bite your tongue

It's a lonely two step
In four count time
To the beat of one drum
And a nursery rhyme

Should you dance with the devil
You may dance forever
Should you reach for the angels
You'll find your grip severed

We look with fear
Into the darkness forever
And the path behind
Into the storms we've weathered

And we feel all at once
Trapped in our skin
Ready for a funeral
Before life begins

But you can't stop the dance
You can't stop the fight
Stuck up in a trance
You push through the night

For the world lives in balance
With a negative eye
But you still fill with hope
As you look to the sky

So dance brother now
No matter the pain
Sing sister sing
As your tears fall like rain

To the rhythm of life
With its days and its nights
Never give in
Till they shut off the lights
