Our eyes met that gloomy day,
And I immediately knew
It had been another time another place
I had always loved you

Lives we lived together
Spanning since the dawn of time
Energy of us tethered
Two souls intertwined.

Soulmates don't always work out as planned
Life gets in the way.
Things just aren't so grand
And our path isn't paved.

Is it wrong to crave a soul?
Is it wrong to lust for the past?
And to long for someone you've always known?
Wishing love forever lasts.

A dearest kiss I long to conjure
A love I wish I didn't ponder
What do you do when love turns to shame?
When the lies turn into a stolen fate.
With your heart hidden and shunned
I learned your manipulation was the part of the club
I wish I didn't miss the taste of your lies,
but a love like yours withers and dies.
I just wanted love, I was blinded by you
With rose colored glasses, not thinking things through.
To think this is our parting makes me sad.
I thought we had other plans.
Illness had taken you long before me,
Now I just sit here with a hole inside of me.
All I wanted was a love that stayed,
But I danced too close to the masquerade.
Without rose-colored glasses and no regrets,
I kissed your ghost and paid my debts.

I took the fall for a love so fierce,
Each word you spoke, a needle pierced.
A fever dream I drink just to stay afloat.
Midnight thoughts rising through the smoke.
You haunt like jazz on an empty street,
Vivid shadows where danger meets.
But pain felt holy with your hands wrapped around my throat.
Baby there's a poison in my system and you're the antidote

Your love was a cage,
and you were wrapped in bows and deceit,
Amazing how soft were your lies
with lips tasting sweet.
You moved like a panther in lavender dusk,
Sinister shadows draped in love and lust.

I was the fawn in your high-thread-count lair,
You covered me with perfume and silver-tongued care.
I now call it the hunt, but you called it romance.
I had all of the dreams, but the ruins were planned.

The silk of your voice was a lullaby shared,
But danger dripped slowly from your holding stare.
You purred out excuses in delicate prose,
And now you taunt the heartbreak in my vintage clothes.

The claws never showed, just the gold in your grin,
But I bleed in silence while you relieve me of skin.
You prowled through my soul with a hungering grace,
Sinister beauty shrouding an angel’s disgrace..

So I ran through the fog,
Through the moon’s silver moan,
Found truth in the wild where I now dance alone.
An astounding escape from your palace of pain
I'm left in the wreckage, forgetting your name.

Can you see what's in a crystal ball?
Are you seeing the problems in time?
It seems as though the time has come to call,
Or is it all a reflection of your mind?

The stars don’t whisper, they only repeat,
Beware the fears you plant in the soil of fate.
You blame the moon when you feel defeat,
But darling, you decide the weight.

Your shadows dance in tarot spreads,
A queen reversed, a dream delayed.
But maybe the voice that you hear in your head
Is just the truth of which you are most afraid?

The magic was never in the charm,
Or spells you spoke beneath the trees.
It’s in your voice, your beating heart;
The power is always yours to seize.

So don’t ask the crystal what’s ahead,
The future listens to your choice.
Break the curse of doubt instead,
And speak your want with a fearless voice.

The noise fades out, the world goes dim,
Like every edge has lost its rim.
Your arms around me, hushing the fight,
And turn the chaos into light.

The clocks all stop, the stars don’t move,
As if the moon has lost its groove.
The air hangs heavy, thick with grace,
While I dissolve in your embrace.

No yesterday, no "what comes next,"
Just hearts in tune, no need for text.
The past can drown, the future stalls;
In this moment, I have no need for time at all.

You smell like love that’s always near,
Like whispered vows I ache to hear.
And in your hug, I disappear...
For me its the only place that feels sincere.

Our eyes met that gloomy day,
And I immediately knew
It had been another time another place
I had always loved you

Lives we lived together
Spanning since the dawn of time
Energy of us tethered
Two souls intertwined.

Soulmates don't always work out as planned

Is it wrong to crave a soul?
Is it wrong to lust for the past?
And to long for someone you've always known?
Wishing love forever lasts.

I feel like I'm drowning and everyone is just there to watch,
in my head its just the countdown of a ticking clock.
There’s a rhythm that pulses in the heart of the blues,
Where losing’s expected, and failure’s the muse.
No voices respond when I’m crying for aid,
Just me in the deep, aching for land with each hit of a wave.
There's no way to hear a cry for help,
I'm treading water trying to find a way to save myself.
The current consumes me, it’s pulling me down,
I try to speak truth but I choke on the sound.
Where do I start when the pain’s been for years,
When hopes turn to silence and love turns to sneers.
Success became my shortfall, failure being what I've known,
another brick in the wall, its just me and my demons all alone.

Without rose-colored glasses and no regrets,

I was born in the wrong era, they say, but my daydreams are filled with a decade I crave.
Rocket fins and martini moons,
Vinyl songs filling pastel rooms.

I ache for a future never had,
Where the sold utopian from magazine ads
Bubble helmets and atomic rings,
Hope stitched in all suburban things.

Anemoia takes me there, like lovers meeting in midair.
Where housewives dressed up wearing lipstick smiles, oh what I'd give to stay there awhile.

I long for a time I never knew,
To have a retro love with a space age view.
So dress me up in future past,
Where promises were made to last.

And even if they crack with time
Let me pretend for a moment it was mine.
Take me back Where heart beat to a sci-fi tune
And tomorrow glows under a paper moon.

I feel like I'm drowning and everyone's just there to watch, no one knows what's going on and in my head its just the countdown of a ticking clock.
There’s a rhythm that pulses in the heart of the blues,
Where losing’s expected, and failure’s the muse.

Where do I start when the pain’s been for years,

Success became my shortfall, failure being what I've known, another brick in the wall, its just me and my demons all alone.

I wore a veil under the shroud of night,
Laced in stars and candlelight.
Perfume thick with sins I crave,
Picking flowers for my grave.

Lust bloomed first in crimson wine,
Dripping down lips that once were mine.
Gluttony, a sugared rose,
Fed me dreams of overdose.

Greed grew gold on every stem,
But nothing's ever enough for them.
Sloth laid lilacs on my chest:
Soft and slow, so I took my rest.

Wrath was thorns beneath my lace,
Love turned bitter, sweetness erased.
Envy wrapped in ivy vines,
Choked the breath from me, blurring the lines.

And Pride, that peacock-colored bloom,
Adorned me for my walk to doom.
With every petal, every sigh,
I walked the aisle and said my goodbyes.

A bouquet bound with satin thread,
For vows I whispered to the dead.
And as the bells softly weep for my demise
I smiled and remind, "Death will be my bride."

You think it’s magic,
like I was born with glitter in my veins,
You chase the shine,
but darling, envy leaves a darker stain.

Your life's a script with no direction,
a plotless play, a sad distraction.
You sneer at me from shadowed seats,
but I’m the show; the main attraction.

The lights adore me,
my heels are power on this stage,
While you sit there bitter,
burning with a secondhand rage.

You crave the crown,
but couldn’t stand the weight,
So here you pout,
a hater dressed in stolen fate.

Applause rains down like sweet seduction,
while you dissolve in self-destruction.
Watching from the balcony tonight
you’ll never reach this kind of high.

You live in the distance where day loses name,
Where the ocean forgets who it’s trying to blame.
I loved you like longing, like dusk loves the sea,
Like the girl in the doorway you swore you would be.

You were velvet and static, a half-finished song,
Beautiful, broken, and gone far too long.
I traced you through dark times and through smoke-colored skies,
Through motel confessions and television lies.

I begged you to anchor, to stay in the light,
But your heart beat in shadows, in cold neon nights.
You kissed like the promise of something brand new,
But vanished each time that I got close to you.

And loving you felt like chasing the line
Where the heavens get drunk and forget how to shine.
You live in the place I can never quite reach;
Where the tide pulls back and the sirens preach.

So I dress in my silence, in roses and blue,
Staring out past the world, still waiting for you.
But the truth is a shore that I can't step across...
The horizon won’t hold me, and for now you're lost.

There’s a spell in the blood and salt in the air,
A curse in the kiss and a ghost in the stare.
Born of midnight, veiled in flame,
Running from silence, dancing with shame.

Hands crafting herb blends with care,
Trying to live like the magic’s not there.
But love’s not gentle when it's marked by fate,
It doesn't knock, it doesn’t wait.

One wandered far where the wild winds wail,
Drunk on danger with fire on every trail.
Bound by blood and bound by bone,
Even in distance, never alone.

They buried the past in roots and stone,
But darkness listens and makes itself known.
What you hide in the soil will rise in the mist,
A ghost in the room, a bruise on the wrist.

The storm arrived in a circle of hands,
A reckoning danced through the salt-strewn sands.
And from the ashes, a truth they smiled,
One saying you keep me safe.
One saying You keep me wild.

Now the wind sings through the garden gate,
No longer bound by fear or fate.
Love is not cursed; it’s just beguiled
By witches who's craft are both safe and wild.

My soul is like a terrarium, sealed in glass and still,
A forest bred from silence, bent to fate’s cruel will.
Each thought a tangled ivy vine, each fear a thorned bouquet,
I water them with past regrets and let them grow away.

Light leans in gently, but my glass won't crack,
A paradise turned prison where the green won't turn black.
Hope is just a brittle sprout that wilts beneath my touch,
Too delicate to flourish where the shadows grow too much.

I used to dream of open fields, of air that kissed my skin,
But now I bloom in solitude, with guilt grown thick within.
A garden of my making, lush with vines of dread and doubt;
So beautiful in madness that I can't seem to get out.

He said, “I'm no saint, but I drive real fast,”
She lit her smoke and let the moment last.
In a rusted Ford with a broken tune,
They chased the dusk, outran the moon.

She wore her rouge with vows to sin,
He kissed her hand and pulled her in.
Bank vault dreams and pistol pride,
Two shadows dancing, side by side.

The papers called them devil’s kin,
But hearts still swooned for the mess they’re in.
With every score, the red ran deep,
But love like that don’t come cheap.

The law caught wind, the trap was set,
One last kiss, one last heist was met.
They went to the dawn in a blaze of lead,
Young and wild, now cold and dead.

So pour one out for the stolen ride,
For the doomed romance they couldn’t hide.
Some love burns fast, some love runs dry;
Theirs bloomed just long enough to die.

Our eyes met that gloomy day,
And I immediately knew
It had been another time another place
I had always loved you

Lives we lived together
Spanning since the dawn of time
Energy of us tethered
Two souls intertwined.

Soulmates don't always work out as planned
Life gets in the way.
Things just aren't so grand
And our path isn't paved.

Is it wrong to crave a soul?
Is it wrong to lust for the past?
And to long for someone you've always known?
Wishing love forever lasts.

Attachment wraps like cold steel,
A binding touch that feels unreal.
Cuffed wrists, a silent plea,
Am I the prisoner or set free?

The key is lost, or never found,
Caught between love’s silent sound.
Am I the captive or the key?
In this locked dance, who holds me?

A kiss like metal, sharp and deep,
A promise made, a secret to keep.
Are we bound, or do we break?
In your hold, is it love or just fate?

Love once hummed in perfect tune,
A symphony beneath the moon,
Each heartbeat a scar we couldn't mend
like a melody we softly bled.

But silence crept through shifting skies,
Like violins with broken cries,
The notes we knew dissolved in mist,
A phantom of songs we once had kissed.

Now every chord is out of place,
Each rhythm stumbles, lost in space,
The lyrics fall like brittle leaves,
A ballad bruised by make-believe.

Where harmony once wrapped us tight,
Only aching echoes ring in the night,
our love, a song without its core,
Drifts unheard forevermore.

Beneath the moon's soft, stolen glow,
Whispers thread the air, low and slow.
A touch, a breath, a fleeting glance,
In shadows deep, we find our dance.

The stars stand guard, their light a veil,
Letting passion speak where our hearts prevail.
The world's asleep, yet we're awake,
In secrets shared, in love's embrace.

The moon, our witness, silent and wise,
Conceals the truth behind its skies.
Its silver beams trace every move,
A silent ally, sworn to prove.

Among the galaxies, we slip through time,
Two comets lost in love’s old rhyme.
In moonlight's hold, we choose to stay,
Two souls astray, yet led love's way.

When dawn arrives, we'll fade from view,
The moon will guard what we once knew;
A secret kept in whispered rhyme,
A moonlit alibi, frozen in time.

Skies turn gray, but I don't mind
it's matched my mood for quite some time.
The rain taps the window like a soft lullaby,
I close my eyes and let it lie.

I pour my tears into a glass,
a toast to the things that didn't last.
The love, the laughs, the perfect plans
Slipped like water through my hands.

Let the kingdoms fade like perfume in the rain,
weren't they just illusions anyway?
I wore the crown, I played the part,
Now all I want is a softer heart.

So I wrap my hurt in velvet threads,
Tuck it beneath my tangled head.
And maybe when I wake someday,
the pain will have flown away.

'Cause even sorrow's got a song,
and darkness doesn't stay long.
The sun still kisses the morning dew
And I'll dream my way back to you.

Love was an hourglass, steady and bright,
Each promise a grain in the softening light.
We watched as the moments began to slip,
A fleeting dream from your trembling lips.

Each grain was a hope, a word we had shared,
A promise to hold, a love we declared.
But time, like a thief, took what we knew,
All the sands fell out and so did you.

You held the base, I grasped the top,
Fingers trembling, unable to stop.
The glass began to crack and break,
And with it, our love began to ache.

The sands of our heart scattered wide,
No longer a rhythm, no longer a guide.
Each grain a reminder of what once was,
Now dust in the air, with no reason or cause.

And in the end all that’s left to see,
Are shards of what we used to be.
The hourglass shattered, the promises gone,
Just dust in the air and a love withdrawn.

You touched my hand in ocean air,
The boardwalk hummed a sultry tune.
With cherry lips and windswept hair,
We danced beneath a silver moon.

We soared down coastal roads,
Chasing the stars, kissing the sky
Love bloomed in secret, sweet and bold,
Then faded fast like summer nights in July.

The sunset burned, the tide grew cold,
You whispered dreams, then slipped away.
Now memories, like dust and gold,
Still haunt the heat of yesterday.

The mind is a haunted house draped in lace,
With perfume ghosts and a cracked mirror face.
Creaking doors lead to rooms of regret,
Where old love letters are damp with sweat.

In the attic, dreams hang like gowns,
Sequins and shadows in delicate frowns.
I slow dance with memory, dressed in a night,
A flash, one moment and then I say goodbye.

Down in the dark where the secrets sleep,
I hum lullabies that still make me weep.
So if you knock, come in gentle and slow
Not every locked door has something you want to know.

I wear my face like painted glass,
A porcelain mask they let me pass.
Smiles stitched with silent grace,
No one sees the hurt in my face.

Rouged my cheeks to hide the cracks,
Polished lies and quiet acts.
Beauty’s just a veil, it seems,
Thin as breath and lost in dreams.

Behind the shine, I want to scream,
But silence keeps the world in theme.
So I perform, composed, serene,
A haunted girl in a pretty scene.

We move like glaciers, slow and still,
A love that wears the earth away,
With ancient strength, it bends the will,
And carves the stone where shadows lay.

Through frozen winds, it makes its path,
A force that never sways,
It leaves no trace, but holds the wrath,
Of centuries that never fade.

Beneath the ice, it hides so deep,
Preserving what the world can’t see,
With frozen hearts together we softly sleep,
wrapped up in a love as endless as the sea.

You and I, we’re carved in ice,
It may be cold, but still, it’s true
A love that’s frozen, pure, precise,
Oh, our glacier love, it’s made for me and you.

There’s a tidepool behind my heart,
small and silver in the evening's breath.
Not deep, but torn in every part
holding you close, keeping your death.

A cracked ring lies in the brine,
still warm with what we never said.
A memory flickers, out of time,
like candlelight around the bed.

***** click like clocks inside my chest,
marking hours I can’t reclaim.
Anemones bloom with soft unrest,
each one uncurling saying your name.

The tide recedes but leaves it all—
your cologne, your smirk, a Polaroid of our crowd.
A sea-star clings against the wall,
where everything we built has fallen down.

No current comes to pull it free,
this shallow grave of silent songs.
But I return religiously,
to worship where your ghost belongs.

So yeah,
the moon looks on forever marred,
but this is where I rot instead.
In the tidepool of a love too hard,
where nothing lives, but nothing's dead.

The rain whispers secrets on the glass,
Telling me stories from our love gone past.
I stare far off and let the tears roll down my face,
Wishing the storm would wash away your name.

I’m asking now, don’t you think it’s cruel?
You stole my heart like some beautiful jewel.
You ran away and you didn’t care
Now I’m alone here dressed in silk and despair.

You said you needed some place new
But you took my heart in your vintage shoes.
Now I’m listening to the rain, soft and slow
Like the score to a black and white show.

I’ve been dancing with a ghost of you
Begging the storm to let me drown in the gloom
You were the only song I ever believed
Now you’ve gone to chase a bygone dream

I’m begging the rain to drop your name on every rose
And telling the moon to hold you close
Begging you to feel the ache we used to know
Hoping a flood of love again grows.

Her kisses were loaded dice,
Each touch a wager, tossed in the air,
A chance to lose, a chance to slice,
To see if love was truly there.

She hummed her lines like lullabies,
But in her gaze the trap was laid,
A bluff concealed in velvet lies,
Where every wager bled and paid.

With every kiss, a coin was spent,
Her smile, a mask of sweet deceit,
She’d deal the cards, her heart unbent,
And leave you scrambling at her feet.

She played the odds, she took her turn,
Each moment etched in faint disguise,
But in the loss, you’d always yearn,
For more of her endless lies.

I fold my dreams into corners of cotton,
lying alone in perfume stained sheets.
The night hums low, like a record forgotten,
playing your name on repeat.

Love was a crane I tried to fashion
from motel linens and lullaby lies
but paper hearts don't beat with passion
and are torn apart without goodbyes.

You held me like a secret stanza,
lips inked with things you wouldn't say.
Each kiss a promise in italics,
each embrace in soft decay.

We were origami, darling;
beautiful, but each fold unraveled in the end.
I search for you in the creases of craving,
In pursuit of our love again.

Your tears, they fall like crystal rain
Each one a song of sweet despair
I trace the edges of your pain
And lose myself in shadows there

My baby, you're a dream undone
A broken hymn, a bleeding star
Still shining when the night is gone
Still beautiful, just as you are

Your scent, it haunts my every sigh
A ghost that clings to skin and bone
Your lips once red now whisper why
And leave me feeling more alone

I love the way you fade away
Like smoke that slips through grasping hands
A rose that wilts but dares to stay
Still blooming in the shifting lands

You're lost to time
But in my mind you linger, true
A tragic song, a dying rhyme
My darling, I'm here and still I worship you

I packed for love or so I thought,
With truths I wore and the lies you brought.
A threadbare trust in a dress of grace,
Your smile tucked into the velvet case.

Hidden deep beneath the seams,
Were ghosts that danced amongst my dreams.
Each one a whisper soft and low,
A secret you thought I'd never know.

A kiss that strayed, a veiled excuse,
A promise made and then cut loose.
You folded guilt in woven lies
And tucked it snug under alibis.

They stir each time I try to sleep,
A weight I carry, buried deep.
They follow close, like silent hosts
I'm bearing a suitcase full of ghost.

Now every step I feel the drag,
the silent weight, like a tattered flag.
No zipper shuts them in too tight,
I'm haunted still by morning light.

His blow fell soft, like love’s deceit,
A kiss disguised in cruel repeat.
The bruise bloomed slow, a violet kiss,
A ghost of touch I dared not miss.
He held me close, then pulled away,
A pendulum of night and day.
He spoke in petals, struck in thorns,
Left warmth inside the coldest scorn.
He broke me gently, piece by piece,
Each crack a vow, a promise he wouldn't keep.
But love was fire I couldn't tame,
So still I stayed and took the flame.

Love walked backward from the shore,
its footprints swallowed by the tide,
no farewell, no final roar,
just silence where it did reside.

It kissed the rocks with embrace,
then slipped beneath the grayest hue,
pulling the warmth from every place,
where once our laughter grew.

I stood, a beacon dim and worn,
as all we were slipped out to sea.
The tide withdrew what I had sworn
to hold; then left the wreck of me.

Now in the hush of every wave,
I hear the ghost of what we knew.
Love drifts the way the ocean wanes,
not all at once, but true and through.

Behind the glass, I wear my crown,
frozen twirls in plastic grace.
Blue lips smile as I spin around,
with glittery flakes upon my face.

They twist the key to make me spin,
my dance begins, then fades to slow.
A hollow waltz I float within,
beneath the pale and falling snow.

A vinyl tune begins to play,
a haunted hum that chills the bone.
Its notes drift through a world of gray,
unheard by hearts long turned to stone.

I waltz beneath a shattered moon,
each step a dream that’s slipped away.
A brittle dance to a broken tune,
with memories that never stay.

I wear my fate like silk and lace,
where loneliness and ache entwine.
A hollow smile on a porcelain face,
my ballgown trapped in frozen time.

Sadness lingers, soft and bold,
in silence where no stars explode.
A tragedy spun in winter’s cold;
a girl trapped in a ******* snow globe.

I feel so tired,
I feel so alone,
and yet in this life
it's all I've ever known.

Darkness looms within my mind
Eating up all of my insides
All good things come to an end
But what happens when they never began?

Am I stuck in limbo
Forever in this war
Do I even know myself?
Just a shell of who I was before.

Committing to everything is all that I want,
but the guilt living in my head is what haunts
I seem in the moment to be able to forget
all the good things that live within my head.

I know there will come a time when I will make that choice
but do I try to make forever last or do I fall into the void?

The needle drops like rain at night,
Soft hiss, then suffering takes its flight
Your voice a ghost in satin sound,
Still sings the lie that brought me down.

It spins around, so bittersweet,
Sounds of idolatry on every beat,
Same chorus clings like cigarette ash,
Your same old promise, the same old crash.

In candlelit noir, I play pretend,
and darling this track just won’t end
Just vinyl tears and minor chords,
Your love is a loop of empty words.

“You’ll never be alone,” you said
But baby, that skip plays loud instead.
A line that lingers, carved in pain,
Are like desires that lurk in the rain.

You were the song I always craved,
I was the silence you couldn’t save.
Now every dusk, I press rewind,
And bleed your echo from my mind.

Same song, same skip,
Playing over in essence
And that lyric still haunts me,
Like a fingerprint on all my affections.

The past was riddled with solitude,
I woke up in lace, like an old movie scene.
Now morning hums in a honeyed mood,
Last night you treated me like a queen.

The sky was heavy just before,
in shades of black and blue.
Now the storms don't come anymore,
Since all I see is you.

The night once sang in minor keys,
and every hour felt like pain.
Now even silence seems to please,
As I hear your voice in the rain.

There's color where the gray once stayed,
a bloom where I had only thorns.
The price of love was what I paid,
and in return the world was yours.

Since then I live in softer light,
A dreamscape soaked in vintage hue.
Our romance has set the world alight
What's changed? Babe, just me and you.

At my gate the shadows shimmer,
Amber leaves dance in the dusk
That west coast wind cuts like liquor,
And love still tastes like rust.

Lovers drift down boulevards,
Mixed amongst dreams and wine,
But I lean against the neon,
Still stuck in another time.

Oh, I never shook those crystal eyes,
They're ghosts in every stare
I ache for arms that held me tight,
back when forever lived there.

As I smoke beneath the streetlight
thinking we burned too young.
The moon won't say a **** thing,
But I'm still chained to us.

Hung from the moon where the city can't see
with lipstick smudged secrets you left all over me.
If silence is golden, then let it be mine.
I'll carry your touch through to the edges of time.

Thunder and lace and smoke curls in my hair,
you loved me like danger and vanished like air.
But I'd dance through the forever for you feeling so brave,
if only you'd whisper my name like I'm something to save.

If love is a drug then I'll take the dose
Let it burn through my blood, let it bring me close.
You watched as I opened, a flower in bloom,
like a song with no ending in a candlelit room.

And I'd do it again, to bring us into play
Just to taste your dangerous goodbye
like a moth to the flame.

In a world where time bends like light through a prism,
three colors met entwined in perfect rhythm.
A crimson spark, bold and untamed.
A violet mix amongst the dark,
And midnight blue the sky does make.
A love that dances through endless nights
Turns out; perfect is found within this life.

They touched in whispers and heart's desires.
A painted fate brushed in fire.
No start, no end, just dreams that mend,
A canvas vast, where hues all blend.

One lifetime red, burned bright and wild,
the muse, the fire, the reckless child.
Another twilight, violet blends red,
steady hands shared where lost hearts dread.
And when the world would turn to blue,
he'd hold them close as he'd always do.

Three colors woven together never torn,
A trifecta spun in fate's design,
No lines to break, no end of time.
For love like this does not decay,
it bends the light, it shapes the way.

Cherry stained lips in the heat of July,
dripping sweet nothings like peach colored wine.
He called me his sugar, his muse, his flame,
but summer's a dream that won't ever remain.

Lemon light kisses strewn in my hair
his hands are on my hips and pulling me there.
He tasted like heat waves and strawberry sins,
a charm so alluring he ****** me right in.

Now the orchard is quiet the nectar runs dry,
the vines are all empty, silently I cry.
If I close my eyes I can still taste the past,
sweet like a promise and too golden to last.

A vintage dress and lips of red,
under the moonlight drawing me in,
songs of fire, shadows, and sin
dance for the living and mourn for the dead.

The autumn air, it bites and chills
the night's a stage the graveyard's still
Your whisper of my name, a soft regret
A love song for me playing on your lips

A spell is cast with blood and bloom
the scent of roses fills the tomb
with flowers growing in my hands
and my fractured faults here I stand.

Your voice still lingers, a hollow sigh
you said you'd stay, but ghosts don't lie
Forever bound to October skies,
where the dead don't sleep and my love never dies.

The moon wears a veil of silver lament,
Spinning slow in a waltz with the tides.
She hums in the hush where the lovers sweat, drunk on the night with memories gone blind.

The sky is a stage and she plays all her parts, the maiden, then mother, then ghost in a haze.
Just a lover, a liar, a thief of lost hearts, watching us burn in the blue of our days.

But time is a tide and she's just the moon, pulling and fading then full once again.
A clock with no hands just cycles round noon
A carousel turning where times always thin.

She whispers in echoes of centuries past
Soft as a prayer, a glow to soak in
Lovers dance beneath not knowing she's where time began.

I wear a smile and play the part
Hide the storm inside my heart.
As long as you don't meet my gaze,
You'll never see I'm lost in a haze.
Racing forward, standing still.
Waiting games are breaking my will.
Hours blur and chaos stays
While spinning through these endless days.
Too much to do, too much to lose,
I'm drowning in the wish for new.

The battle in my mind rages loud
and on the outside I'm calm,
but really there's no one around
and so into depression I fall

the silence is eerie where I sit,
in limbo with the love and hate
one side so deserving of one to commit
the other longing for a dreadful fate

there is nothing left to be done or said
no words to help heal the heart
when you live a life at war with yourself
and call your chaos an art

The weight of the void pulls me deep,
a temptation I can’t seem to outlast.
The only solace I find is in sleep
bound by the nightmares of my past.

When everything is loud the mind goes silent
but never in the way one would like it
The race is so overwhelming it's now just a hum
The hands are steady but the mind grows numb
Eager to please unsteady to rise
Constant exhaustion from boundaries pushed aside.
Anger held down suppressed in the void
Feelings inundate, set up to destroy.

This is your life, love; ending minute by minute,
A cigarette's kiss with no fire left in it.
You bloom like a rosebud in the Hollywood haze,
Chasing forever through borrowed bouquets.

Time slips its hands round your soft throat,
Beautiful as the lies in a suicide note.
You dance in the dark with memories you once knew,
Life is fleeting and darling, so are you.

Golden and gone in the blink of an eye,
Perfume lingers with your half-written cry.
You wanted to burn, just not flicker and fade,
But the stars never weep for the mess that they made.

Of all of the hearts that you tried to outrun,
None of them stayed to see you undone.
So sip on your sorrow, it’s vintage and blue;
This is your life, and it’s leaving you too.

It starts with an itch beneath the skin,
silence breaking deep within.
No warning alarm, no dying hymns
just pressure building at the brim.

My past hangs heavy, rough and tight,
a suit of scale that dims the light.
But growth is cruel; it splits, it rips,
and leaves you naked to your tips.

I scrape along the jagged stone,
each twist a crack, each breath my own.
rendering a new me with changes inside,
the façade I wore, my pains died.

While I'm raw in this new guise,
I'm rising with sharper, clearer eyes.
For loss is gain when change begins,
like a serpent I'm freed from dying within.
