Her Don’t look up, Don’t look there, Keep your eyes closed, ...what was that sound? that flicker– that light– Did I shut the door? I can’t breathe, I can’t see, Is she– Is she near? Over there, Over _here_, Right __here__, Too ___close___, Close your eyes, _Tighter,_ ___Tighter,___ Don’t _open_, Don’t ___open___, Don’t _Look_ __Up__

_Intruder, intruder_ Wake up, __wake up__ The birds are screaming the alarm. _Intruder, intruder_ Wake up, __wake up__ The silence is growing __louder__, The shadows creeping __closer__. _Intruder, intruder_ Wake up, __wake up__ She’s _coming_, she’s ___coming___. Close the door, _Go,_ ___Move___, Open your eyes, ___open your eyes___, Wake ___UP___ ___WAKE UP___ ___INTRUDER___

Intruder
A spark ignites, so small, so sly, Born of a glance, a word gone awry. It leaps to life, a sudden flame, Feeding on fury, stoked by blame. A roaring blaze, fierce and wild, A tempest untamed, untender, unstyled. It sears through thought, it burns through care, Consuming reason in its glare. For a moment, the world is ablaze, Each breath, each pulse, a molten haze. Tongues of wrath lick at the soul, Devouring warmth, devouring whole. And then—it fades, a cruel retreat, Leaving silence sharp and bittersweet. The ashes settle, the embers die, Cold winds rush where heat did lie. Empty now, a hollowed shell, No comfort left, no tale to tell. Anger spent, it leaves behind A frigid void, an aching mind. Oh, fleeting fire, so quick to start, You scorch the soul, you break the heart. Yet in your wake, a truth is told: A flash of fury leaves only cold.

A Fire Within
They're all just so sad and broken in their own ways And they have flocked to each other because together, The suffering feels smaller Not so big Not so daunting And to them, I'm the deep pool where they can pour their pain into And never have to think of the possibility Of a flood And I Am Drowning

Flood
You say yes, I say no, I say I don't want to, You ask why not, I say I don't feel like it, Frustration takes over your tone, Guilt and irritation take mine, You say yes, And I say no.

Trust
When I'm alone, finally independently Individual The darkest furthest corners of my mind The other half of me reaching out Whispers sweet alluring things, kindly Gently Tugging carefully at the strings of my will Caressing, plucking and eventually Clipping The lines to my resistance The chords of my voice Allowing the floodgates to fall, collapse and Surrender And let me Myself, the independent Individual Take control

Personage
I've said these words a thousand times, I've said these words to a thousand people, I've lied with these words to a thousand hearts, And I've killed with these words, a thousand loves.

Bleeding Love
Karma's gonna get you, babe. Whether it has my name, Or someone else's, Just know that you're marked as the target, And Karma never misses.

Love is a violent act. I mean, how does something, So sweet and lovely, Make you ready to commit, Brutality and adultery, And render us so incapable, Of thinking past jealousy? With red words fogging our eyes, And a black void echoing between our ears, I think love is a violent act. For nothing like it, Motivates us to tear down cities, Dance in the ruins, And rebuilt something new, All for one person. Love is a violent act, That makes us take our hearts, Pry, rip and tear slowly from our chests, And lay it as an offering, To someone who doesn't want it. Love is such a violent act, Melting our brains and controlling our tongues, Numbing us to the fact that if we care, we will hurt, Giving us an addiction worse than that to drugs, God, it made us do so many things we shouldn't have done. Love is such an unforgivable, Violent, Act.
