angel eyes,
glance my way
survey how my arms
twist in delight
at the mention of
your name
take in each detail
of my freckles and hair
my haggard heart
has kept its beats warm
for you, kept itself going
for the promise of one
more kiss

angel eyes,
you have the devil
inside you

The blackened world of a mad man's hate.
I don't see God, my eyes are sad.
Do I want to save this world in my sleep?
I watch in awe as the owl takes it away.
We will wake up together as loving beings.

Do you ever wonder
if the painter
tires of his colors?

you don't realize how badly someone treated you until you have to explain it to someone else

When the screaming is too loud
And the blood is too thick
When the pain is too much
And the words don't stop

When the words don't stop
When the words don't stop
When the words don't stop

When I can no longer handle all my imperfections,
Then the knife comes out.
