Tuck your tongue behind his cheek Stop his mouth from another leak Now if only you could stop his hand One thing to another in a different shade Hang yourself with the ropes he made He’s such a cynical cakewalk Pray your way free from his silly games He’s a priest and clown he goes by many names Either way, don’t listen to his nonsense He’ll put you in my box full of all your friends Ice cream and candy from end to end Isn’t he the greatest that ever lived? The food is plastic and your friends are fake Eyes wide open but your not awake Hero’s on his way any minute now Knight in shining armor breaks through the air But he’s the monster that put you there Yes, he goes by so many names He’s the man you’ve seen from all your scares Can’t picture him in your wildest nightmare Far from a dream anyone can see Doesn’t need a mask to make believe He doesn’t need a mirror to deceive He’s got so many names, he might as well have none

So Many Names
The sun that lights my moon But never one dark night Because I glow when she’s around And she glows to my delight The cookies to my milk She makes me much less bland And I soften up her crunch As if it was something that we planned The wave running through my ocean The one that will never crash Nothing scary nothing big Just enough to make a splash I’m a cloud floating in an empty sky She is my silver line We’re not here to rain on any parade Just float till the end of time I’m the blob of purple goo And she’s my nutty pal Throw us on a piece of bread Do with us what you shall I’m locked up she’s my key She opens me like a door I can tell her all she needs to know And she can tell me more Where ever you find pavement There’s grass that’s peeking through And when I laid my eyes on her The only flower grew It will never change There was never a doubt in my mind On day she will be my wife There is no one left to find My sun, my cookie, my wave, My glowing silver line, My key, my flower, or my wife What ever she is she’s mine As long as she is in my life And forever there she’ll stay There’s one thing I can tell you She’s why I wake up everyday

Perfect Match
Can I ask you a question or maybe a few? Because I don’t know how to do this, I have no clue But let’s make it official, what’s the worst this could do You like me, and I like you So… Will you take my hand and never let go Our fingers like vines, eternity they’ll grow Entwined and knotted together so tight Staying together til the last day of light Will you share the good times, and be my best friend Laughing and giggling with every second we spend Make funny jokes, make silly faces Tickle each other in so many places Will you come see me, sneak out your door And in the pitch black while most people snore You’ll come and find me, just like the scripts Look at me, smile, and then press with your lips Will you give me your shoulder when I need to cry? And when you need one too, on me you’ll rely Will you be my turtle and I be your shell I will protect you and make your life swell Will you show me your eyes green like jade Get stuck in the moment, and all else fades We won’t even blink, our eyes exposed We can sing love songs with both our mouths closed Can we meet at football game, our parents won’t know See how happy I make you and how you make me glow And as I stare I’ll be shocked, everything to a blur And ill think to myself… I really love her Will you take what you get, accept all my flaws And when I finally confess, without any pause You’ll say right back, because you already knew That you have the same feelings, I love you too Will you grow up with me, through heaven and hell? Forever and ever, no more farewells Every second together, just like our dreams That we’ve had so long, since we were both teens And then we’ll get married, best day of our lives And with this bond, we will both thrive I’ll be your husband, you’ll be my wife I’ll be your everything, you’ll be my life …What I’ve been getting at what I’m trying to say Is I have something to ask you, today is the day That I tell you how I feel, let my feelings free Let’s be more than friends, will you go out with me?

It happens oh so often And still every single time Hands are numbed, Warmth succumbed, Shivers down your spine Like a beaten path Footsteps in the snow Scent of pine Walk up mine If I have one to show My stories like Saint Nick And yet you still believe Words so cold No hand to hold Only born to deceive I brought this on myself Remember the summer heat I changed it all Brought snow fall And the winter we repeat Golden green to blackened white We lose the glowing smile But I can’t hide If I’ve lied It eats at me after a while We all can see it come Say goodbye to all your leaves Frozen bark Skies so dark And I hide behind my sleeves Somehow you’ve forgiven And you bud at the sight of spring But I still cry Because another lie Brings back the winters sting I wish sunshine could stay But how will I be true? I have a feel That if I’m real Red will be the only hue I need you and you need me Through all the words and pain I will pray For the day Where I at least bring back the rain You never give up you always think That maybe I will shift Let down my guard I try so hard To give that special gift If you asked I’d tell you what I think you should give in But I know you won’t Cause I know you don’t Neither I nor thou can win I’ll be fake and you’ll be sad The winter is here to stay Flowers gone Clouded dawns Until like the snow we lay

Footsteps in the Snow
Tears scrape down your face Colder than winter breeze I stop after you beg me A million times over, please Just one more step towards You and me falling apart As I carelessly add another Crack to your crystal heart

Crystal Heart
The sun rises for her smile To see who could shine brighter. Loses every time, But comes back despite her. Yes, even the sun, If it weren’t for the moon, Would stare for eternity, And would still leave too soon. Over the horizon The moon comes at night. Takes a peak at her face, But then hides in great fright. His nerves get the best of him. He can’t let her know. He has so many feelings, But he can’t let them show. You see he’s not so pretty, Not like the sun. He takes the joy that it brings, And makes it undone. He’s so dark and sinister, Malformed and gray. What makes him bearable is The light from the day. Yes, the sun is a god He lets the moon hide his face, Because when the night comes He knows the moon takes his place. But everyone’s happy When that star comes out. They all get up And they all get about, But not this one girl. She’s different for sure, Because when the suns out, Another day to endure Without what she wants, What she’d like to see. The only person on earth Who has this one plea. She wants something else, But it’s never around. She just wants the moon, But he was confound. If only he knew What she said when he ran, “The moon is so perfect!” She had a plan. “When the darkness rolls in I’ll lay down in bed. I won’t go to sleep, Ill fake it instead. When he comes around, And sits in the sky, I’ll get up right then, And open my eyes!” She waited it out Until the sun set Out crept the moon It was time that they met And when it happened They didn’t believe what they saw. They were staring right at each other. Both were in awe. The moon was so happy He shined like a star. And she smiled so big. It was something bazaar. It was something so perfect Something you needed to catch. At that very moment They both found their match.

Fulfill your senses, what is it you smell? Intake through your nose the sweet scent of sin. Give in to lust, the second layer of hell. Draw them in, your captivating spell. Morose thoughts that make you grin. Use your eyes as well, what is it you see? Darkness is filling, the gloom is rich. Look through the pane, not but a tree. Two bodies alone just you and he. Do what you please, this is your niche. Sounds will bellow, what do you hear? The curious sound of a brand new sir. A refreshing tone, loud and clear. One of countless fools within this one year. Just like the rest, this will soon be a blur. Terrified to ask, what is it you taste? Panting and moaning, mouth run dry. Less than a week and you’ll have him replaced. Shortage of men, the only trouble you’ve faced. Quick shot of pleasure, ******** high. But the real question is, what do you feel? No feeling of love. Temptation intervening. To every guy out there you’re just a great deal. Fun for a while, but that’s your only appeal. Forthcoming regret of *** without meaning.

Enjoy the Sense of Satisfaction
Take off your make-up. I’ll take off my mask. I’ll show you the monster, You don’t have to ask. I want you to know Who I really am. Not so much bad, As much as a scam. Hypocritical liar, False truths nothing real. I say I’m happy and nice, But that’s not how I feel. And I know for a fact Under all of that stuff, You’re beautiful girl, And you’re not all that tough. You’re gorgeous, know doubt Much better than I. Pull back the veil. Part the clouds in the sky. Show me the moon. Give it a stare. Come here with me and We’ll begin to compare. You see we are so similar, Me and the moon. We’re peas in a pod. We sing the same tune. The moon is amazing, At least at a distance. But once you get there No one there for assistance. No one for comfort, No one for love, No one below, And no one above. No compassion or hatred. It’s something that’s new. It’s the best of one world, And it’s the worst of two You’re alone in this place. It’s like I’m not even there. You ask and I answer, But there’s nothing to spare. You can check for beats, But ice has no pulse. It has no feelings, And there are no souls. Just a baron wasteland Of all your false hope. See if you can love me. See if you can cope With my heart frozen over. You’ll hate me I swear, But you promised me, you said That you wouldn’t care. So at the same time. Show me you’re a face. I know I will love you, But I’m a disgrace.

A Monster and Maiden in a Similar Scene
We scribble in lead Still the light won’t shed Just one single beam On the wonders we mean The thoughts are bottled Our motives modeled But left empty handed With all words stranded Among a blank page Lost war we’ve waged Our feelings much more But our pens on the floor We’re excessively writing The words still fighting Though many have passed The attempts still last It’s a battle bound to be lost Lives and souls the cost Yet we bare are chests Hope for the best That maybe one will hear The written message clear Each letter we arrange Form words meant to change Bring happiness, end quarrel Each story with a moral Thousands of poems are done And I’m riding on just one.

Poet's Anthem
Lost among the confusion, Convincing myself everything is real. I don’t know whether to let it hit the floor, Or hold it in my arms and not let go. It’s the child we’ve had for so long. Grown up but we still don’t recognize him. His face is ever changing, Never the same as it was before. Everyday we hope its over, And we can finally die in peace. You always say it’ll be alright, Everything will be okay. But I won’t be your tiny puppet, I’ll leave no more strings attached. I’ll escape from this world, The world that you’ve spun like a spider. Widows always were the most deadly. Tell me what will you do once I’m gone? Move on like it didn’t happen, Like it was all a dream? Well it was for me at first, Before when I was so naïve But I’m awake now, I can see you. I can see you standing over me, Sharpening your knife. Waiting for the moment, The perfect moment to sink it in. Watch me wither away, Until I’m nothing more but a memory. And watch that memory fade as well, Until there’s nothing left of me. See what you can do, See the power that you have? You made me give up everything, In exchange for my worst fear. I gave it all to you, My time, my care, my trust, my love, And what you gave me was a lie.
