Oh, she’s a killer
A knife-shaped *****
She’ll rip through your guts
In the rain-stained
Metro station
Down-town east-end
Blood spills on the bathroom floor
And she just smiles
Beautiful
And familiar
Walking along
Coffee in hand
Going to work
When she hits you fast
Black arrow to the eye-brow without warning
Stamped in the carpet
Cigarette-**** burned and bruised
And just when you thought you could be ok
**** you, Nostalgia!
You know just how to play me
Just where to slice me
All the right words
At all the wrong times
I’m a sucker for your curved blade
I wear your scars and curse your name
Nostalgia
**** me quietly
I am always, only, ever yours.

The futile remains of what I used to be
Is now dead and gone away
Like she wanted me
So much blame was passed
I think that's why it didn't last
They're right
You never know what you have until they're gone
Like the wind
I hear her slam the screen door on her way out
Her tracks on the hardwood floor
As a reminder
There will never be anymore
-Cnk

Something about those words
The ones I heard
You told me lies
And sold me alibi's
I can see it in your hardened brown eyes
We're all gone
Like yesterday
I know it's hard to say
You wish I would stay
But we both know I have a long way
To recover from the whiskey soaked dream you caused today
I have to walk away
Maybe some day
You'll see my face
Knock on your door
Pour me a glass
And we'll laugh about our past
But for today I'll see you another day
Goodbye has never been so hard to say
-Cnk

Dark and stormy weather
Nothing's better
Than the feeling of the mist in the air
Not a thought of despair
Looms in the air

Dark clouds bring the feeling of sadness
Is it madness
That it feels so right
Dim lights set the mood
For what we're about to do

Wisk away in the rain
Helping keep you sane
Can't you see
This is how it's supposed to be
A kind of free

You and I forever
Throughout this endevour
Not a soul can severe
These bonds we've made
Under the gray blue clouds
As we fall under the shroud
-Cnk

My earth rumbles
My ground shakes
All because of this one mistake
All this burning passion
And my heart still aches
From the loss of my happy place

Every now and then
I check my phone
Just to feel more alone
I'm far from humanity
But **** close to insanity
In my isolated conscious

I'm sorry
I know it's too late
And you probably think it's fate
You were my everything
But take a look around me
You're no where
And now I'm no one
-Cnk

You get angry
You take it out on me
As far as I can see
I’m just a voodoo doll
Trapped inside your cursed walls

This pain
Inside my brain
Burns like an eternal flame
Doused in shame
I thought you wanted me
Not just another name
For your little black book

You say you don’t need me
But I can see
That I set you free
Why would I let you be
Anything but next to me

-Cnk

Why am I so conceded
I see everyone as if they’ve cheated
It’s not enough to just prove it to me
I’m a *******
One who’s mastered
How to sleep when the bats stir
I’m not sure
What to do

I don’t know what I want
Who I want
Or how I want it
All I hope is that the devil neglects me
So that angels detect me
In time to protect me

Looking down
On those without a crown
I stand in silence
Judging
Smudging their good name
Comparing them to fame
Only a crane can pull me out
Of the ditch I’ve been lost to

-Cnk
