chirique
Paper thin her skin Marked with the red of regret Stained in its place so she'll never forget , If not from hands than from words . For all she knows is exposing her hurt , To those who believe not in words . For when no leaves her mouth And his face turns to irritation. The reality of the situation Brings her back to life and her skin ignites Remembering it's fight Then no turns to yes As she slowly undresses Exposing her messes Hoping he'd stay Even after she put her hurt on display But they never do For when morning comes and all is done The coffee brews for no one And when the birds come to chirp The noise drowns out her calls of disgust The only hope leaving her gut For in the end its plain to see broken girls are never invited for afternoon tea

Paper Cups
Darkness take away my light Burn out the candle I wont put up a fight Rip away my flesh And reveal to me my true form The monster inside me grows too warm Darkness inside me Take away my breath Make me choke on the words I haven't said As I cut away on paper skin Write my life story with pretty ink Darkness that consumes me Protect me from the light It burns my skin and colors me bright But all is fine when it goes away And I begin to remember the light never stays

Monster within
Beautiful young boy with a heart of gold, Corrupt my heart with your ugly soul, All good intentions rotting you whole, Crying wolf to walls of stone, Pack your bags and hope to live , Pills stain your strawberry lips . Beautiful young girl with an innocent face , Date all the boys and hope they wont break, All good intentions rotting you whole , Praying for guidance yet corrupting your soul , Addiction at night and purity by day , No one knows the true mask you display .

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
Death by my comfort and I will believe, The peace you bring me I beg to never leave, The pillow no mercy as it refuses to catch my dreams , My mind wide awake as my heart begs for release , Oh, death by my comfort and I will believe , The peace at a price ,one love and one life , Oh, mother forgive me for death by my comfort . Your worst nightmare becomes a reality As I take my last slumber.

Comfort in the End
Little boy You are meant to be a man . Your future decided the first time you held his hand . Finish school , Work really hard , Provide for a family , Never let them starve . But little boy, you hold a secret The man you are to be she knows can not be , For In your eyes lays the pain She sees you hesitate when he calls your name She kept your secret and paid your price Blue and black the punishment she sacrificed Little boy, dont you see Dressing in mummy's shoes is who you are meant to be But when Daddy says no And Mommy screams sorry The reality of sacrifice hits your body And on the floor you lay to sleep Closing your eyes to the rhyme of a beat Knowing in your heart as you pull away Mummy will join you and forever stay .
