American words are both my lock and my key. sometimes they cage me endlessly, other times they're the only thing to set me free.
let it sink in deepen pull you down to the very core of the earth I taste it now bitter somehow and within the air it rings underground we dont hear these things grapes to wine wine to tongue and still I feel it the dirt filling my lungs plate tectonics have nothing on us they shake the earth but you destroy my world

hold on hold on
I am dreaming of licks of the flame kissing my ear and my soul is reaching for you, my love take my hand, feel my heart, dont stop the dance your absence takes the warmth from the room and I am smoldering after your fire I hunger for you, my love let me experience your river sail inside my memory stay close to my heart oh my beautiful love my body breathes for you I am singing for you put your hands back on me take the enclosure of this night and set me free in your firelight

where is the passion?
I'm sorry if this comes out too quiet its just I could really use some water I've been running my tongue across these words simply tasting what alone will feel like will you hear me when I say this time I'm not afraid you were a promise not meant for me a dream I was not to remember and I've been fooling myself for so long I just wanted to feel like more than I am just needed to believe I had a reason to breathe but you crept in and took it all maybe I deserve this fall but can you say that you dont?

what is this but words tiny letters placed together to make sense of chemical reactions driving human nature to mistakes or glory simple little sentences meant to keep your spirit alive to build you as if you were unbreakable to crush you as only heartache could yes you are my secret story for which I weave letters to form words to depict feelings you alone inspire for the envy of many eyes who drink in my writing as if it could replace water to keep their hearts alive so here are tiny scratches meant to make sense of excited little pulses firing from my mind straight down to my finger tips where I write for you my most sacred wishes so what is this but tiny letters scribbled before you I simply adore you

branching out
I just find it a little strange The way you came I was only half awake It was a saturday You arrived with keys Intending to put me on my knees Navigate lips and eyes One spills kisses but both hide lies And here I am just tapping fingers While what's left of you silently lingers Step back little girl The fuels about to ignite Fire fight Now I've got a couple questions for you Don't move your lips unless your answers are true When you had that look in your eyes Did you really expect me to survive? And when you came with your beautiful lies Why couldn't you have hinted your goodbyes? Navigate lips and eyes One spills kisses but both hide lies And here I am just tapping fingers While what's left of you silently lingers Step back little girl The fuels about to ignite Fire fight It is a saturday And you're still fake You put your mark on each girl And then you go YOU JUST GO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I dont lie
I was walking alone a stupid thing to do I know was that the breeze in the trees? or the patter of creeping shoes? well I never imagined I'd be lost in my own thoughts completely unaware before I was caught it was midnight and it was me evil sought and he came for me as a man whose soul had already been bought so I closed my eyes, ready to lose myself to the abyss but something in me cried to stop this and suddenly I was so angry I couldnt breathe as I gasped I pushed and brought up my knee he was caught off guard, my blows rained hard but he hit me back, and thats this scar on the ground I struggled for my purse fingers outstretched for the ticket to his hearse how I did it I'll never understand I was only a girl, he was a full grown man but finally I enclosed the razor in my fist and looked in his eyes as I delivered the straight edge kiss what I did I dont regret but what I did I cant forget I could have laid back and let him take me I could have bit my lip and let him **** me but I was not put on this world for his taking and I am not responsible for the mistake he was making he fell victim to his own vice and that night he traded me for his life

vice
the next time you break down make **** sure its not me you flag down you take more than you give baby you die more than you live I played the role of your shadow, ever so faithful there to kiss your lonely shoulder, though you were never grateful cherish this second, call me beautiful because when I walk away its going to be painful you fool, you fool, you fool but what can you do? some were born to build you were born to ruin to consume to leave everything drifting in plumes so I tell myself not to forget to remember to count the steps each its own victory each rewrites our history when you come stumbling after me you can find me in your dreams

forgive me
Cracking open my eyes with daybreak warnings I only have the best of intentions in the mornings Trying so hard to keep my calm Why do you always start wars at dawn? The ceiling is falling all around me You shoot bullets with such ease In horror I search your face But the one I love leaves not a trace Now I'm alone on my island of sheets You always leave after you have me beat And here I am left questioning The best intentions The best intentions

the best intentions
get ready for the free fall because here is where I let go of it all these ghosts who torment me will be dormant finally I had my hand outstretched to you with out a clue until you almost pulled me through now I look in the face of a stranger as you hang here Im devoid of fear my fingers slip losing grip you dont resist I watch as you disappear the lies so crystal clear shatter now that you're not near

for you
tracing silver shadows with midnight shrouded eyes a sigh graces my shoulder while fingers seek out my own heartbeats whisper between covers as lungs rise together as one my lips trail kisses across the desert before finding their way home your eyes like liquid glass pin the gasp within my chest as my hand finds your face I surrender to your gravity
