From Sophie's basement Putting thoughts into words / Sometimes with a twist / It's all God
I want to stab myself in the throat And I could only hope the blood could coat The pain it is, to hope Would my blood cover and clot The brokeness felt in my heart But the thing is I'll never cut my throat The only blood to cover this heart Was the one who I left to on my cross His blood Will only suffice

Cutthroat
I purse my lips As I do, I wonder why I didn't notice until now If I have or haven't before Before I saw her A pursed lip, pulling her jaw in too as she hurt And what am I a mere copycat finding ways to connect, subconsciously But as I do it the same I can only do it more The hurt I feel Expressed by an action, I can only claim I learned from her Pursed lips The emotions she dislikes displaying Flood all over my face Until I meet sleep face to face

Pursed
The cusp of tears i find myself near The plateau comes with the words "Us" A reminder of the crushing truth That the dream and goal I have of "Us" Is so far up in the sky Basically, I'm dying And now it's all crying Because I know She's given up My value, not enough But I know, I know, No matter what She was, for me I'd wait, And wait And wait Until He makes this "Us" in His way Or He takes Her away Oh God, how long will I chase? LORD, let me know if I should no longer wait

Cusp
I let the pile run higher the caked-on residue Of all the things I "Really should do." So many dishes to do And I left the food to dry on too I left this job, and now it's past due It's not up to You to be the one who washes the dishes too All I ask is for You to show me where to put the dishes away I need to wash the dishes again It's what I need to do After I wash the dishes, I can better serve You God, ThankYou

Washing the dishes
To know when to and what to My social cues work Until they don't Dissolve into thin air as if they were never there The words and actions turned into some sort of corrosive acid Decaying or disfiguring everything that was once there The expectations held at one point Tore down the next It's all good until it isn't And so I think Think Think Think The thoughts become a paralysis Leaving me messier than the start slow processor, or do I just don't know how to react As a child, how did I react? Did I? I Don't Know The inconsistencies of it all miss communications but only with certain people then torn a part for it

Did I ever learn to react
The tears well up before I can even get words In 21 seconds The simplicity so mundane overlooked Yet time was taken? My mind plays tricks on me again tossing it around the puzzling and bewildering in my mind stir up the peace The peace I just found thrown out losing what I just got trying to keep it but knowing the battles lost the oil on my hands My hands, Couldn't carry the pieces I'm not responsible for The air fills my lungs Breathe It is well

Didn't change at all A month later And now my heart feels so much great I started to hate only for my mind and heart to negate the feelings of hate The hate I gave myself for still Loving Every time She's brought up Everyone says to let it all decay Just simply throw it all away How She's not worth, How it's a losing battle Even She says it Even She's "given up" left me to my own devices But as I'm left alone I find my heart and tone to find Her and Her alone And when I find Her I want to rip my heart out Take the nail, the stake leaving it to die But I can't and won't I have one heart Even if I don't let go too stubborn, too hopeful, too Loving? If this is You, God, help me If it's just me, help me God I Need You

Not done?
A chopstick piercing through my throat My tongue tracing the jagged hole unnaturally the roof of my mouth Organs pulled out one by one The bullet in my brain, slowly passing through it's tissue A clay scalper slowly turning my heart into string cheese Molten rods stabbed into the core of each of my fingers My spine fractured into smithereens Glass sandpaper ripping my eye A needle pokeing into my ear A vacuum pulling the veins in my eye The blackhole grasping at me, trying to **** me

Feelings, feeling beyond
Keeping a handful, of hardy flowers holding its worth, even without water I slipped the white and multi-colored into a square cup The windowsill becomes its home before the rest go on to be her decor The months go by, and all I can assume, the others were thrown out after they died But mine, mine were just fine resting in the cup, I find The colors so beautiful and fine Then there comes a time Where I need to run and hide I grab these flowers of mine Take them with me so that they may not be ruined too in time If the house I had was going to be burned up in no time I took the flowers with me this time I had this cup to hold them in But now I have to keep them in my hands at all times Or let them turn to ash in time

Hearts, still stuck on my sleeve This heart is still stuck on my sleeve But I can't seem to let it be And the heart strapped tight on the sleeve is still here with me
