Lay my head down to rest
As the pain and the demons tear at my chest
Reopening my wounds
Whispering " it'll all be over soon"
The voices that once haunted me
Are now memories of what we were supposed to be
Replaced by the thought of you
Again making me question what is really true
The voice I once found calming
Now haunts my dreams, with deep longing
I listen as your voice, combined with the others who've hurt me,
Tells me to go to the very top of the building
You take me to the edge, holding me in your arms
The place I feel I'll always belong
All of a sudden you let go
Finally making me realize you were always my biggest foe
My body hits the ground with a hard thud,
Painting the streets with the color of my blood
"Stop thinking about him
He's not thinking about you"
Words forever in my head
Though I wish it wasn't true
Eyes linger
Hunger for him grows
Though he gently touches another with his soft fingers
And the pain in her eyes shows
She watches in horror
As her love slips away
She remembers the times when he had once adored her
When he had nothing but sweet words to say
He hugs her tightly
Confusing her so
Her eyes shine at him brightly
Heart saying yes, but brain saying no
She wishes for his feelings to be true
Though deep down she knows better
Her pain forever permanent, like a tattoo
Her heart spilling out,in the never to be sent letter

The bird has flown far far from home
where none will ever find her;
she left behest a vacant nest,
and crumbs as a reminder
of all the things her mighty wings
have borne of her creation,
and now she's gone to fly anon
and left a ruination

Far far from home the bird has flown
and time is ever fleeting,
a vacant nest she left behest
in silence of her beating
her mighty wings; of all the things,
she knows the sheer elation
to fly anon, and now she's gone
to seek her own salvation

hands are holding
to keep us out from the cold
we are melting
from the warmth of each other's hold
and this time of darkness
we lay
very still
may this moment last
only for ours to keep
// because i missed holding you

bones
What's more deadly,
A gun or a thought?

Because a gun gives you the opportunity,
But a thought pulls the trigger.
Cosmic hearts
with moonshine eyes,
wandering toes
through nights dark disguise.
Gnarled root nails, behind
white cotton clouds
dusted, warn boots
thump through thick cattle crowds.
Silhouette sunsets
that glow like the heat,
planes like a painting
a marvellous treat.
Huge starry skies
as far as one can see,
stand small on the ledge
feel the rush of the free!
Feel that wind softly blowing
a wondrous, soulful gust,
one word for this feeling,
-wanderlust.

i felt like doing nothing
nothing at all
it was nighttime
and i'm feeling the need to fall
why must it be this way?
i could do anything i want,
whenever i want
but this time,
i could not
because this time
is when i always think of you

so i lay
in this cold bed of mine
wishing for your warmth
and reminding myself
how that felt before
oh that indescribable feeling

so i lay
very very still
doing nothing but ****
the time that's left
by staring at the ceiling
of my cold room
wishing for your warmth again
// i miss you, love

It feels like I've lost
the battle that I used to think
was under control.
But it isn't.
I have less hair now,
than I did a year ago when
I had a pixie cut.
I never thought about how
much more
discouraging it could be
to lose hair once it's longer.

I wish I knew how to control this.
