Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Staring as he dies
The world goes still
Only you dare to give your last goodbyes
He bleeds into the horizon, falls behind the hill

Birds are screaming for the moon
To grant us a reprieve
From this time of dying
So some can lay down their arms, and end their grieving

His children wait
One day, two days, for eternity
Some below stay straight
But you tilt with the breeze for all to see
Your love is clear, this sight is fate
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
A deadly heart
That opens to the sky
Beckoning with art
Vile beneath what our eyes
Have chosen to see

A deadly heart
That clamps with the moon
And rips us apart

A deadly heart
That cries with the rain
For a day
Without pain

My heart was taken by death
And made evil
To steal up your breath
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Wines of melancholy
Thorns of ignorance burrow deep
Within the pounding heart
That bird should shriek at wind
To lift and carry higher under-wing

Smelling sleeping flowers
And wandering in a haze
Closes dreams to reality
That gold can grant a life
To steal it back in greed

Turning life on death
Wishing graves to rot
Or mothers to caress
That moment brother murders brother
To end his life as well
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Red
A haze
Hanging on your words
A daze
Lost yourself in anger

Glass heart
A satisfying clatter
Glass house, all falling apart

Lick the blood
Off your lips
The crimson color drips
The shameless color floods
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
The black-hole in my universe
***** me back each time I leave
My soul was born to that
Pavement

From day into night
Free as the starlight
The ache and the rhythm feel so right

The black-hole in my universe
***** me back each time I leave
My feet have pounded circles on the
Pavement
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
***** out the candle
Jump off the edge
The only thing she couldn't handle
The only promise she crossed her fingers

Mother would like to think a spirit lingers
Nothing else could keep her here
The bee with a deadly sting
The hooded man instilling fear

Father would like to never die
He says he won't so he doesn't cry
He says he'll float around the sky
He says a lie

I would like to not know death
I can't stop to imagine a moment without thought
I would like to hold onto every breath
But I won't win this war I fought

The walls will cave
The fire will consume
We'll lose the brave
And stay in our tomb
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
I careless mistake
A smile that's sweet, tender,
And utterly fake

Drawn into loops
That spiral down
The flower can't help but droop

It was the rain
That showered before the sun's eye
Offering a rainbow to end my pain
If I let go of the lie
