Empty martyr
I ran and asked the ghost woods How much to be free Tell me what is And what was Hurt me with dead words Make a prison without love How much to be free There is no sacrifice No limbs for shelter Show them what is And what was Show them how to surrender I ran and asked the ghost woods How much to be free

The Ghost Woods
You let your demons be known You gave them names And made them your home I stared while most looked away I dove in so deep I nearly drowned And when I caught my breath Heartache was all I found I had to send my demons away But sometimes they whisper Come out and play You don’t understand who I’ve become We’re on different levels Though neither has won I could sit next to you And still know what to say I visit you in my mind But I never stay

Demons
My mind has gone off the beaten path And I’m not sure I can get it back My heart wants to live where souls meet But my body passes time in living sleep I exist where dreams dwell Flowers bloom and song birds swell I am the ocean’s roar I am the storm Raindrops race to the shore I am a thousand summer days with no end I am the heat from the fire Words and thoughts and time transcends

My heart wants to live where souls meet
Give me little pieces of laughter and stained glass hearts We are mosaics of color hurt by broken shards that we glue together Like bits of tiny stars Give me pieces of patience and hope measured in yards Give me the fire that transforms us into what we are

Mosaics
I am beautiful but I am broken The truest words are left unspoken Some hearts flutter but do not open I can choose but am not chosen I Am Beautiful But I Am Broken I am marked but I am muted In my belief I am rooted Some hearts are pure but yet polluted Red and black and transmuted I Am Marked But I Am Muted I am dormant but I am dreaming The theory alive but soul sleeping Some hearts cannot stop the bleeding The willow grows but remains weeping I Am Dormant But I Am Dreaming

I am beautiful but I am broken
Dilute us down Delude us too The solvent isn’t solving anything Only making us lose We are water and bone Soul and unknown Chemicals compound Then break and disbound Solutions splattered Spineless tattered Our volumes broken Experimental fools

Experimental fools
Those who have it Don’t always flaunt it Those who want it Don’t always need it The greed seeps in And bloats the head It all turns to dust When you’re dead Memories Are what you need Power Is a trip you leave Your actions bleed a deep scarlet red It all turns to dust When you’re dead

It all turns to dust when you’re dead
I try to remember yesterday When I thought about tomorrow All the paths in front of me with dreams I could borrow I longed to be limitless and perfect in my sorrow Will I regret my collage of memories when the lights go out will I sell myself a story a novella of nothing so I can avoid human doubt No one knows But some believe Round and round When it’s your turn you let go and leave

Death
When you know and you don’t speak that evil dilutes your truth Eroding Decaying People are pawns Someday the Queen will fall And when the kingdom is made of bones there will only be dust for you to stick your head into
