Despite my scarred reflection and all these shadows clinging to me enveloped by misconception and all i hoped to be Despite these empty words and all the false promises Despite the murmurs of self-delusion the comfort of an illusion despite the desperation of reaching beyond of holding on to your hand of standing in the rain of removing the traces my heartfelt laceration despite all the wounds the ones i see and those you cant i still look up at the sky scratching the surface of the drops that fall despite these misgivings and all you did to me i still hold your hand just in spite despite of what i know i look away

Despite
Meaningless pushed and pulled through arbitrary dimensions Emulating differences in the same, the Fatal Contradiction Redefining the sane! Recombined fused with idle spinning. Forging the distorted lie, these lines in between with apparent coherency and ingenious discrepancies blurring the boundaries of this new systematic hell! Put in perspective these inconsequential banalities and childish banter all but shape the future reiterating the errors of yesterday Skewed Conceptualized Vizualized Realized Quantized ... Denied! how long was it before i fell? does it even matter? when even these parallel thoughts repel...

Parallel Thought Repulsion
What if we could start again ..and just stopped running! What if we looked back ..staring back at us in vain! Why did we just cease to listen ..to every beat in unison? What if you could hear ...and not watch these eyes glisten! Where would we be? If we just cared a little more Would we still be we? ...even if all we did was ignore! what if we just tried ...and hold on a little tighter making this burden ...but a little lighter! What if we could hit rewind Try this one last time Would it be any different? Staring at us staring back in line Would it end any other way? ..If i just didn't walk away leaving you alone to wonder What if we...?

What If We?
Inconveniently These thoughts wrap around our fingertips dancing from corner to corner Circular edges enclose their flaws Awkwardly stretched Cowards they fear the truth Like their creator they run from the flame Paths tangential to what we knew Burnt away Laugh at me you will at best To hide that ugly reflection Mock what you always denied Surely its not only me Trapped but completely free With no barriers we are both confined You and I Why ? we ask ourselves The answer uncomfortably apparent Why endure the torment Of knowledge? The same reason we do everything else... Love..

No Rhyme Nor Reason
Staring at the world Sitting by the window watching it pass her by Sitting by the window All alone Her eyes dried red Forever Incomplete Regrets left unsaid She has no retreat Willingly Given Forcibly Taken Pulled Back to yesterday Clothes neatly repressed Easily suppressed She puts on a new smile Disguising inflicted vile Perfect Darling Princess Daddy's little girl Alone in her world of shadows Voices calling out to her in the swirl Nail Paints and a Bloodstain Manicure Cold Faints feeling so impure Some wounds aren't meant to heal and some scars are better left unseen "please!" There she lays now.. ... Forgotten Darling Abigail Beauty so broken Like the promises i made Holding you against the wall..

Abigail
Under Azure Skies She stands alone A dark figure against the setting sun She's made of guilt of Flowers and Crescent Moons Her whispers carry over the breeze with Fragrances of hearbreaks and irrational swoons Darkness hides her Siren song she sings it to the stars "Color Me Cover up the grays Inject my heart Watch these Colors flow through me.." On her knees she prays ...again For the ones she lost and for those in vain Her Clear Blue eyes tear and plead So that angels may hear and bleed... "Color Me Show me a Glimpse of Your Ways Direct my heart To Rainbows and better Days" Eastern Glow bathes the world in morning light With Reddish hues the first rays of the dawn It lifts her up to the bright blue the last one she'll ever see So here we are waiting for her Under these azure skies Dark Figures Against the setting sun I look up Hoping that she would see And fill up these empty spaces "Color Me Cover up the Grays Inject my heart Watch these Colors set me free.."

Color Me
She smiles at me Sitting there everyday If only I knew who she was She smiles at me Pale skin bathed in light Her eyes ask me to stay If only I knew who she was Scared to shatter my delusion Silence holds me there She smiles at me anyway Swallow my fear She sits there wordlessly pleading Take my hand and look at me What am I to say? Another test? The past wasn't enough? Dark hair flowing Her grace undemanding If only she would stop smiling at me Close my eyes Wishing she'd disappear Close my eyes Wishing I was nearer Walk up to her Her twinkling innocence imploring Sit by her side and Whisper Why do you torment me? Are you only in my head? Is your smile the truth Or just another radiant lie? She smiles at me With ruby red lips parted An image of purity long thought departed If only I knew who she was She gets up with ease but with a strength unseen Surely she is salvation My perfect illusion Please don't leave Ive gotten used to you Grab her hand Cracks like glass Grasping at the breeze I'm sitting alone She smiles at me From far beyond Safe in my minds eye I know who she is Finally im free Open my eyes And smile ...He smiles at me Sitting there everyday If only I knew who he was...
