I wonder, When my wellspring of tears Flows freely on your shores Would you dip your toes in the icy water, Or only bask in the warm sand?

a trip to the beach
Long time, no see Little monster I set free Terror rampant on the earth, And I set loose a banshee The lock is stuck, And I've lost the key I became something That I should never be Not at least, What thought was me But a freak, a beast On a homicidal spree Sprawling through the mud, Crawling on my knees I ask for any redemption I beg for any relief Save me from myself, I cry Hang me from the trees Anything, oh anything To finally feel at peace

A Checkerboard to Play Chess On
Birds sing and fly With a freedom not for I As my heart's stinging lullaby Sounds like a despairing cry For I can see the sunshine Brightening the sky And yet I am confined, again, In the darkness of my mind.

if i could just fix myself...
Hello again, Little one It's been five whole years now, Can you believe? How time passes with the falling of each leaf, How I always got to love you But we never got to meet? I get sad sometimes, Thinking of your little feet The way you might have cried so much That I would never sleep But it's that time of year again, little one And once again, I weep Because you are the greatest love I never got to keep.

HOT KOOL-AID??
Once again, it comes again, Chase away the hunger with cigarettes And don't give in I watch the numbers bob up and down, A water park of emotion And I feel that I will drown Watering myself like a plant, I need only sunshine and water and that's it, And I wish I could stop but I can't Every day the numbers get smaller I start to feel so little But the demon in me grows taller My mom loves having 'skinny kids,' Never mind my health I just have to see my ribs I think I'm cursed It got into my head, It's never been worse I won't eat until I'm dead.

razorblade roses and the people who draw them
no oh god, no leave me be dreams of you are ruining my sleep run away, far, far, away in those terrible white heels i see plaguing me you wore a baby blue and white boho dress and it wounds me as it sits in my closet because I haven't touched it since it was yours, in my mind. always yours from the moment the fabric graced your hips and that smile spread on your lips and you turned into someone new there was something about the ensemble, later that night inhibition melted away and I saw the real you for a moment, or a few strange that you are so many complex people wrapped into one shallow being that you would be scared to show me again who you were once truly as if the entire world watched through my eyes but I can promise, friend no longer, it was only myself, and my whole self, who watched you in hatred and admiration

white heels
so happy lately maybe it's you baby write me a song about hazy days we sing and we dance on the daily aren't we crazy reaching so far for the stars we get spacey you're singing to me in the car how did we get so close to home by running so far but never alone speeding and crashing together in the snow like your arms are where i was destined to go and my soul is the only one that you wanna know we're spinning and feeling unreeling and healing if i was a liar i'd claim that you were stealing my heart but i can only scream at the top of my lungs that oh, Sunshine my Love, my Light i am giving it to you eagerly, entirely, every day and every night

Pumpkin Pie Surprise
He liked one of the songs I played So much That he saved it He plays it Doing the dishes He sways against me and sings in my ear Softly, sweetly Like a person discovering love He sings songs he knows, And songs of his own Twisting his fingers with mine Dancing, Intertwined Smooth and warm On the palm of my hand He is a constant concert, I dance and hum in tune The rhythm of his words From the morning To the afternoon
