Left alone to wander Down the black stone road Gushing, splintered, homebound Spinning from the fall Tightened, tinkered, totaled Forced to reconcile Is a call to arms in order, Or is this just a trial? Patched by panes of forgiveness Light seeps through the blinds The hurt is not well hidden It’s just a matter of time. Swelling, steaming, simmer It flows over the brim Caught by common courtesies Stifled by general decency Animalistic glances Looks of sheer desire Civilization is not well organized Let’s set the ******** on fire.

Tomorrow
Stunted trust Budding interest Careless clues, taunting… Sullen looks Second glances Fiery touch, trailing… Coded. Scripted. The tangled ties of treason

Black
Grown askew Patched a few Pricked by thistles Thick in vine Crawling out to see the light Shivers at the break of night Torn and hassled Burnt, burnt Wick is silent, Witness none. Crying out, The deed is done. Cold and conscious, lying still Breathe in, breathe in. Wisps that link the frozen **** Deep and snowy candid gazes Bursting flames, Revealed in traces. Chilled, chalk cold white touch Remnants of the old one's gruff.

Burnt.
Tilts, stumbles, crashes down Empty promise, no heart found Anger welling, seeping out Softly trickling stream of doubt Quickly down the steps it winds Into the attics of our minds Parking ideas, camping out Filling spaces, end of route Don’t forget to pay the toll Pay it fast, pay in whole.

The Collector
Moments stalled, in lull. Touches linger, embrace. Pause, frozen glance of urge. Silent push, play.

Controller
Torrents of rushing crowds, Blankets of noiseless sound Hidden under the lush, lush breeze, Riding the scent of fallen trees Swarming round all of panic Drowning out all of the pain Hoping for recognition, Knowing someone knows your name. Sinking in cracks of the famous Living in dust of the bold Shadowing lights of the lime Learning it’s never your time. Etching your name in the skyline Reaching but falling so short Walking when you should be crawling The ball never lands in your court. Trying to follow the river Straining to the see the bright star Always living up, up in the coulds But hidden under the cold cut shoulds

Peaked
Why do I Constantly try to control this, Hurt myself by looking I am obsessed. I don’t want you to tie me down any longer. I don’t want your voice, your promises, your love, All whispered in my ear before I go to sleep. I know it’s not true, at least not anymore. I’m kidding myself. Smoke and mirrors.

This has become more important. Lost in my dreams, lost in my mind. Blame onto me, I know the fault. Faulty lines, different views. I miss you. We are better apart, but only you know. It beats on, it beats on. Staring up, steaming, and breathing. No tears, it’s not you. It’s what you made me realize. Realize that I am not human. Shying away from what’s good, what’s right. Cowering lifelessly, withholding, complacent. Jellyfish, no brain. No soul. I’m a star, bright and spectacular. Only you, nocturnal and beautiful, stayed to see me. Once the sunlight broke, I was gone. Those nights, my brightness. Now I simmer alone.

I want to be talked to, Held, Caressed, Cared for. I feel like I don't deserve it, I’m too Selfish, Awkward, Distant. I have a hard time connecting, I feel Judged, Incompetent, Inexperienced. So I’ll just stopped trying.

Never let your blue eyes show Anything you see Glossed and rimmed Hidden eyes Clear, blue, black Pierced and power Quiver, only at the lip No one saw but me. Written like a book Read like a song Easy on the ears Nothing in the mind Unable to realize when you hum along. Assumptions, assumptions Sting when delivered But never taken to the heart Stolen glance Strong and steady Shoot them down Open your blue eyes.
