So many times I tried to run away
You’d pull me back and somehow convince me to stay
Used to think I loved you either way
I’d forget about the choking out and the ****
I’d forget the isolation and your using your body as a gate to keep me in
You crawled in deep under my skin
Made my entire world spin the opposite way
I lost track of how many times one could say goodbye
Now my kids are meeting the new girl and I’m still your wife
What a life

Heart’s bleeding on the floor
Please don’t open the door
No more, no more

I used to say if I let you in it would be to your despair because you’d only find ruins when you got there
Who knew ruins could be ruined again
I used to think you were honest about not having any affairs
I caught you in one of your lies once again
Empty and broken
I too hollow now to know what mood I’m in  
Lay me down and let the worms crawl in
Though I only died within

Heart’s bleeding on the floor
Please don’t open the door
No more, no more

In drowning in these tears that my heart bleeds
A zombie as I take care of personal needs
A puddle of tears beneath my feet
I finally admit defeat

How Deep?

Snowy mountain peaks
White and glimmering
Slowly start to weep at the winters ending
Though what's underneath is just as pretty in sight
I think I'll watch nature weep for just one more night
She is the beauty that Earth's surface shows
Though below in the deep are things no one knows  
It's almost like Earth wanted it to be nearly impossible to know all secrets she holds

The pressure of the ocean and the rivers of magma that flow
Shes untouchable really
A beautiful lie told that she is pure and giving
Though one day she'll explode and destroy all life teeming
Only mere surface encounters
If you go too deeply you won't last hours

It truly seems crazy that we know more about Outterspace than the ocean
Proving how hard Earth is to reach and deadly when opened
Earth is fragmented and broken
The water the bandage that sheilds her wounds but you'll never know how deep they go
What monsters lie beneath to an humans woe?
She cracks along her seems as she shifts with every change
Reminding those on the surface that she holds their weight as on Her surface she starts to deteriorate
It almost makes you wonder if we deserve our fate
For Earth does not discriminate
She is as forgiving as she is not
She earned her place in the perfect spot in Starlight
That gave her the possibility to provide us all with life
Chosen by destiny to hurl through space to provide life and eventually take it away

I'm shaped like an Mexican Coke
Come on baby take a sip of me
I'm the acid that burns your throat
I'm the hint of ******* makes your heart beat
Because I'm young but my soul dates back to before 1903
I'm wise and wild, forever roaming and free
I'm the forsaken lemon you just want for the fluids inside
Squeeze me alittle harder
Don't be afraid to take a bite
My bitterness will only make you stronger
The sugar you sprinkle on me is the only things that makes me sweet
Though I make your head spin and ruin your teeth I'm still your tall glass of Lemonade
Or at least that's what you think

I'm everything you're craving
I'm you're ***** and I'm your lady and you can't get enough of me baby
I'm your upper and I'm your downer
But you don't care because either way you're high
I'm your Kite and I'm your anchor
But you say even in the sea you can fly

I'm the last drag of your cigarette but it was the last in your last pack
I'm the girl you can't forget but the girl you don't want back
I'm the taste you love but your pallete cant determine its origins
I'm the the girl who cut you deep but you always forgive
I'm the first hit of a joint
Always the purest
But still I tar your lungs and you tell me it's worth it
I'm your shot of ***** with too much milk
I'm a torn new sheet made of silk
I'm you're glass of orange juice with your chocolate cake
I'm the burnt side of a fluffy pancake
I'm the itching rash that torments you
I'm the parasite feeding off you to live
I'm pity you for being willing to forgive

When she was a child she dreamed of putting her toes in the sand
She dreamed of the waves rolling into her as she breathed in the salt of the ocean
She never thought her life would stray so far from her plans
Instead imaginary sand fell through her hands

That sand was her happiness turning to dust that swirled up and blinded her of life's lust
She still cries salt water out of her eyes
And she flows through life like she's riding the tides
She's still an Space Underground that thrives
Though she holds monsters within thats hold answers to questions you wish you hadn't of asked and when they awaken she goes into a storm fast  

A hurricane and water-tornado without even herself being warned
Visiting only her surface will likely leave you burned and scorned
Many jump in to escape the heat but its often terrifying or fatal when they travel too deep
The deeper down you go the more mosters you'll meet
And get pressurized into a place thats cold and dark
Where the monsters stay to feed off the parts of the anger you feel for going in too far

For her monster's know where the sweet spots are and their picky eaters as they feed on the parts of you that regret going in and the parts of you that didn't understand
Throwing their trash and ******* in her hora
Killing her beauty like the dying coral
What she needs is someone in suited in a special armour
Someone who will sink down just defeat the monsters but not harm her
Someone to show her just how vast she is and hows she's teaming with life even after what others did
She is mighty and though she is deep
She is powerful and far from weak

Two lives brought together by Destiny
How is it that You always find the best in me?
Over the Years it seems less and less I see
Of reasons why we were meant to be

Though everyday my Love for you grows stronger
I want to be around you even longer
As if I’m addicted to your Odor
Your scent is like Aphrodisiac exposure

Why pretend that our love is a Fairytale
Many times We’ve came close to farewell
We are not under a Love Spell
But with each other we choose to dwell

You and I have battles shared
Worn each others shackles dare
I know now a moment of passion can’t be spared
For no other love we’ve experienced can be compared

It’s like she came out of nowhere
Electric and fast
She had a huge dazzle and a smile that would flash
Almost like an X-(wom)Men
It was like she has powers
When I saw her she lit up my life
She could awe me for hours

She was great to look at but lethal to touch
Man, I tell you I loved this girl too much
The impact of our first kiss **** near knocked me off my feet
And the pain I felt after the fact when she hurt me it cut way too deep
As if her electrical current gave me the shock that allowed my heart to beat

Though with her she brought a storm
She started spontaneous fires
Her danger was often pre warned
Her beauty was appreciated but always by afar
Here today, gone tomorrow just like a falling star
The damage she could do was a force no man could control
So one day the storm was too rough and I had to let Lightning go

It rained from her eyes
Clouds of mascara added grey to the storm
She struck three times leaving thunder behind before the last of the clap that came from the door
She’ll be in another town in just a matter of time
I hope she finds a man who can Insulate her blow
Apparently lightning never strikes the same place three times but you never know

Sitting pretty in a corner
Right next to a heater to get warmer
Waiting for the Sweet Absorber of Myself
I am my own Torturer
Counting each grain of Sand that passes through the inside of the HourGlass Land I’m living in and I’m chewing my tongue just waiting for a line
I check it off on my list as just killing time to get through this Mundane Life
I couldn’t have been more ready than when he walked into the room
He shut down, prepped the table, then pursued to crush his Crystal Cube
He made a line in the fine white powder on the tray right in front of my view
Smiled at me and said “take it, ****!”
My eyes started to tear, my nose got very tingly and then, and then..
ACHOO
Off of the tray and half of the table the ******* blew
In a snow-like cloud it drifted around as everybody gasped and out back into the air with the carbon monoxide they exhaled
They were surprisingly relaxed
I look up, still in tears, but this time they’re of sorrow
Because my blast got everyone high but me and I’ll have no money until tomorrow
I wouldn’t dare ask anyone to borrow for more due to the impression of the amount on the floor
Outstandingly, my Mate was cool
He said “I’ve got bags of this ****!”
But still sent me to the door
Kicking my own *** because I don’t think I’ll be getting more
