I lay here rotting Between sheets and shame Unable to move Unable to cry Only the sinking of my teeth into fabric To muffle my screams For it is too late to be in need I lay here I lie here And honestly I'll die here Yet even doing that Would still make me a chore So I stay within the blanketing darkness Telling myself it will be fine When we know all I am doing Is waiting out the clock

Wasting Time
The static wraps itself around my throat like silver wires Beating on themselves to force out a ****** tune Simply to write a score To scorn my troubled mind Scorching my self hate on the dotted line For truly pain is a watermark none can hide away on this marred canvas that is I. Stained and plastered in confused brush strokes of youth. As if to truly define the meaningless The adoration for something I'd never feel. No, no veins weren't drained in vain of life and left to wilt on the window sill yet still I'd claw into myself and search for a world I can Capture on film To have a choice whether to corrupt or delete Or drown itself in whiskey and car horns Reverberating it's cords And their fingertips Across fifty shades of cracks Guiding my hands Clearing my mind Starting once more I am a piece of work Incomplete

Incomplete
Heartless ***** Got no soul to love Heartless ***** Parasite feeding in our skin Heartless ***** Don’t worry they do love something That something is themselves Heartless ***** spiked their life bringer into a flaming can Heartless ***** watching the world from a cave. Heartless ***** sleeping with friends. No benefits attached. Heartless ***** doesn’t care if you like them Heartless ***** actually delighted they’re messed up How about you keep you’re mouth sewed shut and tear out your larynx. Words from that useless hole are hollow. Manipulation your mistress Depression your ***** You take   and abuse     and lie. Just chose one or the other you- Heartless ***** Stay quiet, behave. Heartless ***** do they even have a name? Heartless ***** It’s still beating in the trashcan, cold. I am that Heartless *****

[Heartless *****
Our window is an ever changing frame Left to its own devices It never moves from its placement in our old home Yet never shattered once On good days, nothing but the ticking clock is disturbed Those days of silly arguments we forgot The moment the ice cream man begun his serenade On bad days grey inkblots would erase that baby blue Forcing cabin fever down our throats At the loss of movie night Yet there are the nights you sit alone, lost in the races Between short lives of the rain cloud's children Nights where you join the portrait's current mood Our window is an ever changing frame Capturing each moment of our existence Replacing your trace

The Window Frame
I deal with my emotions like a deck of cards Cut them in half Pull the pieces apart Seperate them in groups And throw them at others I won't know if they'll get a hand Or maybe a fist All i know they are playing a game None will win

A Gamble
When I'm departed Leave not the scars of my scars Upon your eyes nor brain When I'm departed Forget not the way my hair reminded thou of a lion's mane Nor how eyes of winter bark is of the lamb When I am departed Even as you burn down the corpses’ temporary sanctuary with hellfire to allow me the will to fly Even as you hear the crackling of marrowed fuel As I am laid from dust to dust to the sky Do not forget my words Do not forget my unspoken lyrics My voice may be gone but the memory The letters of my life paint the history Of who I was Let these pages live on Even as they yellow like dying grass For only then, when they are dust as well Only then, will I be gone

When I Am Departed
Throat burns From nothing but screams Headaches When working like a machine Fingers curling for a barrel Unknown if it be for *** or roulette But I ain't no alcoholic Not yet For I just let my skin **** it in Makin ****** Marie's look like papercuts

The Non-Alcoholic
I saw a ray of sunshine She sung to me like I was the sun Nestled within her arms of Autumn yet to chill Sweet scent of lavender and mint as she exhaled Silver strands of silk Morning dew kisses Her heartbeat still in my head All I ever had needed I saw a ray of sunshine She seemed colder today Yet the smile is what pushed me to rise Higher, Higher Until I needed to come back to their earth So, we forgot the pain she felt Ignored the way she griped my hand The warmth still there Still strong It would be better in no time, right? I saw a ray of sunshine She slept at the cusp of the summer noon Mouth wide open Ready to say I was hers That no one would ever be able to take me away Alas, she said nothing And yet, I understood She broke a promise Maybe once or twice But it is forgiven For the second was only the wind whispering to me She wouldn't of known The way she sighed sent chills down my back I saw a ray of sunshine this morning But it's not her To be fair, I can still smell the lavender and mint I can still hear her voice Her heart But this was not her The arms that held our autumn dropped all the leaves Dew dried from the drought Yet they were all soaked from the salty rain I remember when she was gone The clouds must of taken her away Not out of cruelty Only to take away the ignored pain I'm sorry for moving on Before I could tell her that she was MY sun Alas, she had already known This always helps me stop Remembering That I was actually the light She, the one who guided the way

Clouds Stole My Sunshine

Silence That’s what you wanted Just accepted silence Just desired crying Just no more defience So why the **** do you want my voice The ironic song bird wedged down my throat You just want to hear your name screamed out Whimpered out Begged I’d say **** you but you’d take it the wrong way That or it won’t even reach past my new blue gloss You want me to speak up now? Well you’ll get it, yet don’t blame me if my voice goes hoarse. My eyes bleed tears of forgiveness when looking disgusting and captivating as I screech like a banshee . With snot dribbling down my chin. With split ends visible in my wooden mane. With eyes turned muddy the unplanned forecast for blood thirst and depression Like how about I talk about those long nights at McDonald, or when you sung lullabies that implanted insomnia, or the icy touch of your frostbitten hands looking for warmth and all you found was me. How about those whispered words of , “ I really like you.” Cuz four words are worth so much more than three. Each held more meaning than the last as if they were your last breath as you plunged inside me with dagger-claws. Yet I loved it, ****** I loved it! I loved being your barbie doll. But were they even true Were all the nights we stared at one another with clamped together hands just the darkness in your coal eyes wanting my spark. My bite. Was it just so you could see if I could be yours. Only yours. I left so many scars on you and you to me, and you told me you loved them. Your fingers would trace my stories I engraved upon your temple. But none were proof enough of how you ****** my mind up with yourself. Made me worshiped like a false goddess undeserving of your praise and love and soul and eyes and ********* I’m back your your dead ******* eyes even when you blinked to show you lived. You knew I never loved anyone before you. Never held hands before you. Never had any lips besides your cracked ones trying to imitate a desert to trick others of nothingness that you’d whisper only to me. Never told a man nor woman that they were my first of everything before you. I was a tiger lily and you a **** And you took it all away you ******* hypocrite! You knew before I could even say wait. And I loved you for it, I still fuckning love you for it cuz I am a ***** My heart never beats when you aren’t around. I never needed to speak, you were the source of my puppeteer voice I used when other’s worried about something. Yet now you want me to tell you lies. Tell you who hurt me ‘You’ Tell you who used me ‘You’ Tell you who ******* broke me down to a sniveling, worthless pile of ash ‘You’ But instead of telling what was reality I played within your almond flavored fantasies and blamed everyone but you. For no, never you.You, you, you, you, you. Rigamortus won’t stop my hands from grabbing your shirt as I slowly sank to the ninth level of hell. BECAUSE IT WAS YOU GOD ******* ****** MAN YOU DID THIS TO ME I WAS AN AURORA SUNSHINE YET YOU ****** ME DRY TILL ALL THAT WAS LEFT WERE MONOTONE CLOUDS YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SHOVED YOUR HAND INSIDE ME AND REPLACED ORGANS WITH STUFFING YOU DID IT YOU DID IT YOU DID IT YOU DID IT You're the reason I slit my throat Tied up my vocal cords. Sewn shut my lips It's no surprise I was thrown away Like a broken doll It's funny you see? When you're choking you should see the irony Ain't I the one that needs to hush up

Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away Yet I never want to Your words of vines Roses that grow no thorns Eyes of hazel No that isn’t enough to describe it The soul I see within these mirrors I, all but hallowed Can feel the drops of copper Become not a disfigurement They are the stars of my galaxy Scarred, crooked smiles become the crescent moon That must mean you are my world My home The one thing I will stay tethered to Can’t be anywhere else Even as my body rots Even as I am beaten to nothing but ash Even as this life withers like a black rose I will still love you I will stand here in your image Yet you’ll never know Can’t breathe Can’t move Can’t speak Can’t look away These vines I’m buried with have no comfort like you
