A glass girl
With a clock in her hand
A bomb ticking in her stomach
And they called her bland

One day she will go off
With a bang and a crash
And barrel through lives
And watch us all thrash

I have fallen for rhyme
Every word
Every verse
I gladly give away my mind
And welcom in its curse

Ball and chains
Twisting like snakes
The water is deep
He knew the stakes
Plummeting farther
He starts to drown
Into watery hell
He is impelled down

Salt in eyes
Life swims near
The water, dark and earnest
Airless intentions clear
The sea swallows him
Weights and all
Cold fingers drag
Death fall

So many people are dead
Because we had to settle the score
There truely is no hope
In this long and silent war

Marred and marked from battle
He hides in the night
Searching and seeking
The shadow beyond the light

Fierce is this warrior
Pained by his past
Dark is his soul
But this he must mask

Giggling child
His hearts delight
She loves him and his darkness
With all her might

His tiny angel
His golden haired little girl
With her innocent smile
Oblivious to the world


He wishes to come from the shadows
And see her wide eyed face  
For he is the demon that guards her
Loving and unable to trace

Falling into me
You are a butterfly in reverse
Letting go of your wings
And accepting my curse

I am going to hell
I am certainly aware
Maybe I'll send you a postcard,
When I end up there

He was the biggest shark in the ocean
He was the fastest fish in the swell
But then his eyes were opened
And he was just the greatest frog
In a very small well

We are in need for some assistance
There are some minds half way beyond repair
A handful of hearts are broken
And hope is vanishing into thin air

If someone where to open me up
They would see that every animal
Has escaped its cage

The concept of victory
Truely depends on where you stand

I will always keep fighting
I will fight with every breath
Because weaklings can't decide anything
Not even their own death

Like a ghost on the wind
She comes from the sea
And trembles the foe
So wild and free

With swashbuckling swagger
And a Jolly Roger laugh
She flies the black flag
On a whalebone staff

She has terrifying eyes
And a ring in her ear
And on her sun tanned face
A flippant leer

With a bone-cold glare
And a sneer on her lip
She has coins in hand
And a cutlass on hip

With a thunderous blast
From her cannons' might
She plants fear in the strong
And steals the fight

She takes all that's lost
And turns it to gold
For she's crafty and devious
And frightningly bold

She is dashing and daring,
A fierce buccaneer
Faces of many
Pale when she's near

From ocean to ocean
Her tales are spun
About the queen of the pirates
For in the end she won

"It's just five minutes,"
The little girl said
In just five minutes
She could be dead
In just five minutes
A war could start
In just five minutes
You could break your heart
"It's just five minutes,"
My little sister did moan
But in just five minutes
I'd be all alone

I woke up late
And dropped a contact down the drain
I walked to school dry
Until it started to rain
My lunch had expired
And a bully had her fun
I was horribly tired
Then I walked home
This time I cried
But on the path near my house
I wiped my tears and grinned
Because even though right now
Everything may not be okay
Tomorrow I am getting
A lovely new day

She was a wonderful girl
All the writers wrote
She was a wonderful girl
Until she slit her throat

Can you hear me cry
Can you see my dreams all die
From where your standing
On the Leaving Landing

Silver plattered chances
A way to start out new
Sweeping ballroom dances
Are all just as impossible as you

Maybe the world would hold it's breath
If my life blinked out into thin air
Or maybe it would just keep spinning
I shouldn't expect it to care

I can't remember who I was
Five impossible seconds ago

Apologies for the interuption of your scrolling
But I must inform you of old news
For some reason you have forgotten it
And I am not at all amused
I need to tell you that your beautiful
In a devastating, broken way
The peculiar kind of beautiful
That makes night explode into day

I seem to be at a loss
Of cloudless skies
Of rain soaked goodbyes
Of water on skin
Of the person within
Of hearts tickled pink
Of snow on eyelashes that blink
Of feeling blue
Oh, and a loss of dear words
I'm at a loss for those too
