Passion burning unattended is a flame leading to its own destruction .
I got low I went down In my descent I brushed the ground And down below Amidst the dirt My ***** fingers Combed the earth I went deeper Nails and teeth The bones of trees The stones beneath. And then- at last- Upon the fringe My hands brushed hell My fingers singed I reached bottom Saw you there Immersed in fire's Dancing flare. At the bottom At the end I watched you burn And fell again. The inferno's twice as hot When you have to watch someone you love Burn.

I Got Low. (The Descent)
I wonder if angels cry. When the scent of fornication smothers the air And guilt consumes the careless hands immersed in the jar of sordid men. When children kiss blades, painted in their brother's blood. Drinking their mothers tears as though a precious tea. I wonder if they use handkerchiefs or let rivers rise, feeding from their eyes. Dancing in birth of the innocent youth, glimmering with hope and prosperity. I wonder, I wonder.

when diamonds rain
*Sonder beings pass me by. A universe lived within each eye. Chrysalism gives me life, shut away in my own mind, a loner is how I self describe.*

When we were young, all things were new The rising sun, the morning dew. Through you I saw the ocean first, From stormy eyes I saw the surf. I tasted summer in your lips The flavor of the brackish mist That lingered on with days and years That veil of time was thin and sheer. When we were young the summer months Seemed everlasting, endless once. Heated asphalt, mosquito'ed creeks We dipped our toes to beat the heat. When we were young, immortal then I never thought there'd be an end... I never thought I'd move away I never dreamt you wouldn't stay... I never thought when we were young Your final song would go unsung, I never thought there'd come a day Your final words- you'd never say. When we were young When we Were young When We Were Young I never thought You'd die.

When We Were Young (I Never Thought)
Kissing you Felt like fireworks Underneath my skin Wanting you Felt like waves Crashing against my chest Needing you Felt like salty tears In dead eyes Loving you Felt like a hurricane In my unfeeling soul

To Fall in love with you
If missing you was an art I’d be Van Gogh and you’d be “Sorrow” Missing you comes in droplets and tonight I’m drowning in your Pacific Ocean On nights like these I wonder if I will ever learn from the trees how to stop missing the leaves that have let go.

Missing them.
You've never felt hate before Not like the kind you've instilled in me I feel so possessed with this evil rage That craves men's hearts, it's so hungry. What have you done to my hopeful self You turned me into someone I used to loathe All I ever want to do now is play reckless games With each one of their souls..

Dangerous Revenge
I don't typically get inspired by flowers or trees, But sometimes, I'm moved by the way the wind breathes through the leaves. I'm not usually hypnotized by beaches or the ocean, But every now and then, I feel a connection to the waves, how they crash, over and over again. I can't say I'm always motivated by music or a catchy beat, But occasionally, A song plays and I can't help but get up and move my feet. I haven't felt inspiration in many things before But today I realized, You captivate me, draw me in, every day, more and more. Your voice, your smile, your eyes, even all your bad moods, All the time, You inspire me to write, to laugh and to simply DO. I guess what I'm trying to say is... You're my muse. And I love you.

Muse
Go to sleep, and close your eyes And dream of broken butterflies wings once pretty, now are torn ripped and shredded against a thorn Silver metal, shine so bright Scarlet blood, that feels so right Dream of that blood trickling down Just don't wake up until you drown The moonlight's shining off your tears As you're bleeding out your own worst fears wait tonight until you cry then whisper the cutter's lullaby Hushabye baby, you're almost dead You've lost your pulse and your pillow Is red Your family hates you, and your friends let You bleed Sleep tight with a knife, cause it's all You'll need Rockabye baby, broken and scarred Who knew life could be this Hard Time to end the pain that you hid so well Then down will come baby, straight Back to hell.

Sweet Dreams
I loved you, But that wasn't enough, I cared for you, But that wasn't enough, I wanted you, But that wasn't enough, I needed you, But that wasn't enough, I had you, But that wasn't enough, I cried for you, But that wasn't enough, I tried for you, But that wasn't enough, I opened up for you, But that wasn't enough, You broke me, And I stayed, That wasn't enough, And now I'm gone, And let me just take a second, And say that wasn't enough?
