Beyond the pillars of my once shining life Stand the giants who hold it all together Tears stream down their faces As they claw at the earth beneath my feet Holding up whatever it is they think is left to hold My life, now ruined Was once looked upon with gloried gazes. As pure and white as sculptors marble My life burned with the promise of more Yet more became less And less became nothing Gone are the days when men would marvel at my flowing hair, My bright brown eyes. All that's left is dull and dead Like a fish barely breathing on the hook, My flesh is torn with ever **** and twitch And my screams echo Like crystal chimes in an empty room I stand alone atop my broken throne And gaze upon my kingdom. I watch the giants tears drown the memories I once loved And I watch the ground beneath their feet crumble and break away Yet I don't run I saw this in hindsight, I knew I would break But I always thought I'd destroy myself on my own terms. I never thought you'd be the one To smash my kingdom to tiny bits But I should have known. I should have known.

Troy
The hardest part is realising That I will always love you And you'll always love someone else It's the curse I've been burdened with To watch the ones I fall in love with Fall in love with other boys Like a flower that's shriveled and died I watch you pick a new bouquet Of pretty faces and enchanting eyes But just as always I'm stuck on the floor Every dried petal trampled to oblivion I relive it everyday Like a hex that forces me to die At the strike of twelve And when that clock strikes midnight I'm reborn I'm cursed With a reoccurring nightmare Where my heart is put out on display For all to poke and pick up Only to watch them throw it down and Step on it without remorse And years ago I used to sit and wonder Why I'd always been left behind Alone and naked Begging for you to pick me up And hold me like you used to When we first fell in love But I came to realise That I'd ended up alone for a reason It wasn't love you were seeking It wasn't love any of you were seeking It was entertainment And I was the naive little clown All of you crushed me And I stood silent I couldn't move How could I have?

Don't tell me you're sorry
Lying in bed is the single loneliest thing A person can do You watch the night sky through your bedroom window And count each star behind the clouds You count them, over and over You lie to yourself As every cloud passes You can taste the deceit Your brain always lies, You've heard it all before "You'll meet someone new" "You'll find the right one" Your mind plays its tricks Time and time again But you no longer listen Because there's nothing to hear, Those stars died long ago And those clouds are barely there So you shut your eyes And you forget everything The lonely bed, the empty room I'm no longer listening

silent in a screaming world
I stared at the ceiling With the blankets expression on my face I thought of my future Along with all my past failures My life seemed to mimic A locomotive that had lost its breaks I was moving in a singular direction With nothing to stop me I thought of all the people I've hurt And those I've yet to betray I peeked at the corners of my room They grew darker with every blink They bore a striking similarity to my life It all seemed to grow dark From the outer corners in And I was the middle I'm always the middle

You could say That falling in love Is an easy thing for me                                             Heart open                                             Arms outstretched                                             Stars in my eyes My feeble heart Was built Around the hope That one day I'd find my one true love And live a fairytale                                              Sweet and soft But the plan was drawn By a darker force My love never comes Like an unwatered flower My heart whithers                                              It turns to dust                                              It's swept away But still I'll lay her In my bed Waiting                                              For a candied letter                                              A sweet kiss                                              A gentle touch                                              A reason to live

letter to oneself
God masterful and silent Hovers over me Like bees in the summer There buzz loud and obscene I'm reminded of sins Once long forgotten I'm reminded of you And how you managed To burn every rose petal you saw Its a wicked game we play Tooth and tooth Molars exracted, canines chipped and worn The viens in my body run like roots From toe to head They pulse and wait They wait for God to answer They wait for the buzz of the bees They wait for a reason to bleed So I step foot on the front doorstep And scream his name And that wretched buzz answers back I've lost this war haven't I? I've lost you and gained nothing else But silence So I'll walk back inside And l'll lie back in bed I'll shut my eyes and forget the world I'll forget the buzz. And I'll forget Ever meeting you

Eulogy
I sew my wounds shut myself And every time the neddles passes through I curse your name I know I shouldn't blame you But I haven't the courage to blame myself And I know it's not your fault But it's so much easier to say it's yours So I'll keep on screaming your name Every time my body hurts And I'll think of you when My bones break and my skin bursts open I'll see you in every shadow And I'll lace every cigarette With the image of your face And I'll keep blaming you Untill I can finally blame myself But for now Here's to you You've turned my heart cold again

As a child I told myself I'd never hurt again Be here I am At 3 am Stone cold in my bed Waiting for the sun to rise Waiting for some hint That a new day has started And I'll be reborn again Until then I have the night with me It's velvet dark engulfs me in waves of sadness I don't think I've ever felt this way before I must have never Seen someone like you Because at 3 am You're all I think about And it burns me with a bitter rage A rage that screams "I've lost you" And the hardest part Is trying to figure out If I want you back Or if I should let you fade away

Left Unsaid
My stem has grown bent and ugly And my petals have holes From diseased bugs that have nibbled on my precious silk My leaves are dry and tinted yellow And my pollen is putrid and stale --- I watch the other flowers grow green and tall around me Their blooms burst and **** the eye with colour Passersby stand still Mesmorized by the utter beauty of my poison friends They pick and pick and pick at them Their petals full Their pollen intoxicating every hand that touched them Yet I stood bent Still rooted and hoping to be plucked But they spit on me And the other flowers laughed I was useless in their world --- So I wilted faster and knelt closer to the ground I slowly fell Each piece of my body decayed and went back to the ground And I sprung up weeks later Among all the perfect blooms --- I was reborn a **** Much bigger than the pretties beside me Yet they still laughed So I grew And I ate their sun And I breathed in all their air Now they're wilting faster than I ever did They'll soon be gone And i'll be the only one left But I guess it doesn't matter anyway They still pass by without even a glance It seems it was all in vain Because I'm wilting again

Wilting
It's that burning sensation in my chest That let's me know That you were never there And you never will be And every spark we made Would lead to embers And all those embers Caused a blaze We burnt this ******* house down And every memory went with it Nothing was left Absolutely Nothing
