They say they want peace while their actions scream otherwise the people in power and their lies Never see the corpses on the ground Oppression occupation people starved little girls with dreams exploded in a far away land they said it was for the larger plan yet no one ever see these evil men in the front lines the old men refusing to let go of the power they hold acting blind as people scream them to stop and it got me thinking of what Shakes said Hell is empty and all the devil are here to stay

Hell Is Empty and All the Devils are Here
I've been living a Russian winter since you packed your bags and took the sunshine with you when you left the letters you wrote the pictures taken over the years the only proof that there was once us now burns in the fireplace of the house we build to keep me warm and one day the ashes of us is all that will remain

Burning memories
I hear your laugh across the room feel your nerves and see you grin it makes my mouth curve up on its own like it had done for the past nine years I wait for your words of adoration that'll make me go speechless or your sweet kisses that'll make my world red oh here it comes the music slows down time stops the crowd disappears but for a second i blink and it all withers the reality hits back in waves all at once i'm far away you are locking lips with someone else i turn around and run away assumptions  whirl around blurry scenes in my mind you whisper lines from a Shakespeare play then embrace her tight and kiss her nape the bitter feeling in my throat a green eyed monster locked away the place in your heart i abdicate now my crown rest on someone else i'll mourn for all that we were for the vows we might have  whispered at the end of an aisle that could have been our own oh my love we have lost it all our wasted potential now a phantom , it haunts my soul .

Wasted Potential
Under trees we closed eyes Wished forever on a stone cairn convinced ourselves that it'll last Look at where we are now Can't even bear to look each other in the eye . Did fate make a deal with the wind just to knock us down make us realize it was never meant to last thought it was the universe that got us strung in a red thread just for it to be a fleeting love . cloud castle and a fake paradise built it thinking it'll hold ground there it is now laying around just stones on a cold ground .

Stone Cairn

NO GOODBYE
begging someone to love you, begging someone to look at you someone who did all this just a while ago, but stopped. now, when they look at you, they only see through you . how can that happen? how can that be? to all the people who loved you, then stopped ask them if you ever rained on their parade. can’t they see the tears streaming down your face, the tremor in your voice as you beg them to stay? maybe they do just act like they don’t. once upon a time, they would have been the ones soothing you, holding you tight yet now, they are the ones throwing around sharpened knives.

When they stop loving you
Staring at an old picture of you, before i made you lose your spark, wondering how i let you drown in the name of love, I have the same dream every night walking around Ely lane holding hands i kiss your lips that December night in front of my friends and the crowd goes wild but i wake up every day and remember that's not how it happened no, that's not how it went i let your hand go and left you in the cold didn't love you properly and made you think it was your fault ( so you hated yourself ) wondering about what ifs now knowing it won't change the ending but that doesn't stop me from dreaming of a different ending couldn't be a better man for you so now I watch as they put you in a white dress and lower you to the ground and I promise to hate myself forever in this moment for all the things i did to you but mostly for the things i didn't.

Things I didn't do (part 2 - Swan song )
COME KISS YOUR LITTLE  TRAGEDY ONE LAST TIME, BURY ME IN A WHITE DRESS AND TELL THEM IT WAS LOVE, THINK I'D LIKE THE SOUND OF MY BONES BREAKING WHILE THE SKIES WATCH, YOUR NAME IN MY MOUTH  AS I HIT THE GROUND, AND  I DRAW AIR FOR THE LAST TIME  , BECAUSE YOU DON'T DESERVE TO STAND THERE DRY WHEN I DROWNED FOR YOU, SO I'M MAKING YOU  SHOUT MY NAME ONE LAST TIME   AS YOU WATCH MY LIFE FLY OUT , BUT NO, I WON'T OPEN MY EYES THIS TIME AROUND, BLOOD ON THE CONCRETE, YOUR HANDS SHAKING OVER ME, AND MAYBE THEN YOU'D FINALLY CRY

SWAN SONG
Invented languages in crowded rooms, through secret glances. My flushed cheeks made your mouth curve up secret meetings hidden from the world. Now that I look back, it got me thinking: you didn’t break the promise of forever. Because sometimes, forever is only a moment. Your touch —was my apricity in a Russian winter. Glowing cheeks, bright eyes you, who made me love the girl in the mirror, yet cannot show up anywhere blurry eyed with people in sight, as we were each other’s greatest secret.

Secret
The ring that you gave made my finger blue it was suffocated it was bruised tried to rip it off most nights but it didn't come off yeah it never budged and one day it did and the next i missed it the bruise started to heal it went purple then yellow but there stayed a line an indentation of what we went through in the finger with the vein to my heart some nights when the world gets to me i look at it - the mark that you left then suddenly I'm craving you like air underwater and it makes me want to swim back to you we both know i won't survive the tides yet the love vein's pulling me back to you .
