He licked his lips His voice was dry His eyes look sad She wonders why

It's been a while since this pen touched a page. I didn't think of you any less, though. The room is clouded with smoke; Much like my mind, I think. Only- My thoughts are more poisonous.

His name stuck stubbornly clinging to the jagged edge of locked jaw. Her eyes retreated to the back of her head drowned in a pool of blood Memories swayed her in and out of consciousness as the paintings with lost smiles absently stared. He thought he was clenching the fist of a man... I heard the little boy behind the man when he said love should be like this. But all sense was stripped from a mind soaked in pain Eyes bulging with pride and fists dripping blood. She watched him become a stranger Heard every footstep fade into a distant memory as she lied there swallowing his battered words wishing life didn't have a present like this- wishing the future would look past her. "She couldn't say who it was, all I could hear was it's someone she once knew."

Something in his eyes told me that all he ever wanted was to be loved. FRAGILE! HANDLE WITH CARE! They screamed to me Letter by letter- baring the tomb of ****** scars throbbing in his heart. I can't help but feel their warmth whenever they're fixed on mine And I can't help but yearn their affection whenever they're gone.

Sigh... I pray for a day in a world where greed don't exceed necessity Even the stars can't lift me now. I swallow the sky and cough out clouds to numb the pain I spat on the earth. I sunk deep into a pool of guilt. I wonder if steep debits would steal my soul for free And leave me crying at work without company Will I crumble to dust or will I fight for me? I look up to the sky inhaling loneliness I can't say how long death would flow through my bones I'm dying inside out- death's always been repressed. I wonder if I'm really content with this solitude Or how much longer I'll embody the pain of many souls.. A gun without a bullet I hold. Sigh... I pray for a day in a world where greed don't exceed necessity. I pray for a life without debt, warm tears and cold sweats. I get lost in my mind when the lights dance- The sky sure looks beautiful right now.

When The Lights Dance

Sigh... I pray for a day in a world where greed don't exceed necessity Even the stars can't lift me now. I swallow the sky and cough out clouds to numb the pain I spat on the earth. I sunk deep into a pool of guilt. I wonder if steep debits would steal my soul for free And leave me crying at work without company Will I crumble to dust or will I fight for me? I look up to the sky inhaling loneliness I can't say how long death would flow through my bones I'm dying inside out- death's always been repressed. I wonder if I'm really content with this solitude Or how much longer I'll embody the pain of many souls.. A gun without a bullet I hold. Sigh... I pray for a day in a world where greed don't exceed necessity. I pray for a life without debt, warm tears and cold sweats. I get lost in my mind when the lights dance- The sky sure looks beautiful right now.

Like the sun casting out shadows I doubt Definitely That a love I allowed to pierce me this deep made me believe that pain remedies the wound of memory, and That I would stay the same.

My drink was laced with death What do you expect when you're seen as a vulnerable prospect? Through my drowsy heart pulsed a pang of regret My tears ran miles when Panic started to sweat My drink was laced with death Of me there was nothing for him to take But a drink too early spun regrets too late.

Date Night

My drink was laced with death What do you expect when you're seen as a vulnerable prospect? Through my drowsy heart pulsed a pang of regret My tears ran miles when Panic started to sweat My drink was laced with death Of me there was nothing for him to take But a drink too early spun regrets too late.

They keep reaching out to me Not knowing that my arms are still bound to you.

They Don't Know

They keep reaching out to me Not knowing that my arms are still bound to you.

We might have been too different, though we were evenly struck. We bet our hearts and lost it all- Love was not our luck.

We might have been too different, though we were evenly struck. We bet our hearts and lost it all- Love was not our luck.

She was rich in spirit, but he had broke intentions And his heart, a runaway lost in the woods- couldn't afford the rent. Piece by piece he tried digging into her mine And most days the sun shined as long as the diamonds did. But as time passed I saw with my own eyes, how he ran Away from himself Eyes dimmed by the loss of the jewel he couldn't buy. Reminiscent hues bounced off sapphires and still, could not depict his blue. I despised him for running from the pain left behind- the pain that led him to run Yet I couldn't ignore the presence of empathy When he showed me an image of a heart, emerging from the woods... It was diamonds dancing around a broken heart. The moon couldn't illuminate the shadows in his eyes As he realised too late that night, too late this life that he- was too broke to love her.
