Today,
I swallowed down
my newest shade of lipstick,
in hopes
of bringing some colour
back to my soul again.

If I carved the words "I love you"
into every inch of my skin,
would you believe them?
Would you believe me?
If I painted a picture of my heart
with the very blood that it pumps,
would you cherish it?
Would you cherish me?
If I promised that there was no one else,
that there was only you,
would you accept that?
Would you accept me?

Love her like
She's the raging sea,
Unrestrained and dark and deep.
And you crave her touch
Through aching pores
As you slowly drown in sleep.
Love her like
She's the tender storm,
A lovely shade of grey.
Like with every whiff
Of breath she takes,
She's taking yours away.
Love her like
She's the silent clouds
With calmness floating by.
Like you'd want to make
Sweet love to her
Under the moon's apocalyptic eye.
Love her like
She's the blazing fire,
And you lust the candied pain.
Like she's the disease
That swallowed you whole
And you'd like to die again.
When her gentle touch
Makes your chest explode,
And your addiction is your girl.
Promise you'll love her
Through hell and back,
Or don't you dare love her at all.

He fell before his time
with a thud.
A loud thud.
Someone screams.
They gasp,
unable to speak,
unable to react.
Commotion.
Expressions of horror,
sorrow,
pity,
pain.
The wind blew silently.
Moments froze.
Somewhere that seemed miles away,
they see a twitch.
a quiver of hand.
A brave soldier of life,
our unsung hero,
claimed before time.
His heart stopped.
Their hearts stopped.
And then with the last drop of tear
shed,
****
Another beautiful soul
disappears into thin air.

Meet me at the horizon
Where the sky meets the earth.
Two bodies burning with the sun,
One eternal love rebirth.

Shattered china on the floor.
Lots of slammin' of the doors.
You grab my hair, I break apart,
I shoot an arrow through your heart.
You pin my body on the wall.
My knees give up, you break my fall.
We hit each other where hurts the most.
I am your demon, you are my ghost.
We grip and pull and scratch and cry.
I love you boy, but that's a lie.
You smoke the pain and burn my skin.
We forget the hurt and again begin.
We've carved the wounds, we've done the harms.
You embrace me in your tired arms.
Though hopeless love, we've made the choice.
At last we seek each other's voice.
In the Echoes of Silence.

You and I
We aren't the same.
We've shared our laughter,
We've shared our pain.
But something has shifted,
We both have drifted.
You and I
We used to click.
We've become so distant,
We've become so sick.
Something's wrong,
Maybe it was all along.

A little darkness, a little light.
A little sorrow, a smile so bright.
Life is just so black and white.

This mad kind of love will be our end, but even death's arms seem welcoming with you by my side.
