What makes us human?
Is it the never ending barrage of emotions?
The communities we have
The families we grow
The lives we live
We have enslaved
And have fought wars
We have built cities
And have torn people down to their cores
We have tamed beasts
And have left them homeless
And while we feast
We leave many hopeless
Perhaps it's time we take a step back
And realize that maybe
What makes us human
Is the compassion we lack

Death proposed to me last night
We met
In a field of branwen
Not a soul in sight
Just them
Silhouetted in shadows and sorrows
Within the murky black night
Death proposed to me last night
they kissed my hand
And asked if I
Would like to be
their lovely bride
Death proposed to me last night
I intertwined
their hand in mine
As I rapturously whispered
Yes
I will be your wife
Death proposed to me last night
they pulled me close
And wrapped their cloak
Of sadness and sorrows
Around us both
And while the cloak
Fought the chill from my bones
We walked
Hand and hand
Soul and soul
Over the threshold
Into the unknown

I feel like I'm rotting
From the outside in
The longer I sit here
And bury it down
The faster the rot s p r e a d s
starting at my fingertips
Inching its way closer
And closer
To my heart

I've got my hand on the doorknob
But you're pulling me back
Begging me to stay
Your voice beginning to crack
I've got the door open
Your tugging on my clothes
Crying in my shoulder
You won't let me go
I've got one foot out the door
You've fallen on your knees
Silence filling the room
Not a word, not a peep
I'm running out the door now
Down the road
On my way
To find a new home

Being with you
Is like having a staring contest
With the sun
No matter what
I always lose

there are roses growing
from my hands
My doubt the seeds
Begging them to grow
There are roses climbing
up my arms
digging in my skin
but i am numb
to their thorns and beauty
There are roses growing
in my lungs
bloodied petals
filling my throat
and falling from my lips
Tears are sliding
down my cheeks
I've had enough
I am to weak

Air keeps scampering away
and i'm chasing after it
Running in circles
Around you
Still you don't see me
Im screaming
Thrashing
Begging
But still you don't see me
I'm on my knees
Tugging at my hair
Bloodied fingers
Scratching my skin
But still you don't see me
I've given up
Air escapes me
The light is fading
The back of your head
The last thing I see

Snow has begun to fall
On this dreary october morning
Numbing my feet from cold
And making my hands shake
Snow has begun to fall
On the gray sunless day
The powder coating my lashes
My nose, red from winter's breath
Autumn has ended
Winter has begun
And as the snow falls
We fall
Back
Into ourselves
Our shields of happiness
Melting like the snow
And the gloom and sadness revealed
Can only be cured
By a cup
Of hot coco

I am a walking telephone
Connecting others
And then set aside
Until I am needed again

Petals are falling
Softly
On my eyelids
Filling my soul
With beauty
And my mind
With peace
Rain is falling
Lightly
On my hair
Curling it at the ends
Bringing it back
To its natural form
And cleansing me
Of the pain
From today
Tears are Falling
Slowly
Down my cheek
No more words to be said
I've reached my peak
