Slithering between his sheets
will only lead to venom
coursing through damaged veins
leading into a run-down system
into a long abandoned heart
Of which
he took the last piece

Snakes spread from her veins
Spewing poison along the ground
It glows at night
This attracts people who ignore the toxin
Only looking for an excuse to call it beauty

She is evil
Only for her ignorance
So caught up in being heard
Willing to **** for even a fleeting moment
to maybe shove a word in

What does she say?
War she whispers
People taking to the poison gasp
But listen
This is where the danger begins
Brain washing occurs to comfort the watchers
They go along with her

No one watches the outside  
or the other people
So consumed in the ego and tainted beliefs
They claim justice yet set fires
and inevitably **** the innocent
She laughs and her snakes return
She needs them no longer
Her toxin-pumped army will do her work

It's getting harder and harder
To wake up without you

In those early seconds of morning
The burning rage ignites my soul
And burns me out to a spiteful pit long
Before the sun reaches the peak of the sky

The resentment you buried
Deep in my heart
Boils in the daylight hours
And scolds me long into the night

Melatonin chokes out my consciousness with mercy
Suffocating my misery
If only for a short moment
Until I'm plunged into the depths of my nightmares

My body thrashing about this bed til morning
But each and every sunrise  
Makes it harder and harder
To realize you left me here alone
Bearing no responsibility or resentment of your own

I hate you
Because you're the reason my mind races at night
But have I
ever made yours skip a beat?

Princess,
Never let them fall
Tears are saved for boys
Who will wipe then away.
Princess,
These are not those boys
He is not the prince you read about
Or the hero you dreamed of
Count the stars again
Princess,
Hold your head up
This is the bed you made
Time to ***** your finger
And keep still
This chapter will send soon

The whiskey is not as sweet
When you're not around

I'm not an alcoholic
I just find comfort
In all the wrong bottles

Just like I learn to love those
Who feign comfort for falseness
In all the same places

The only problem
I have with my drinking
Is the problem you have
With my drinking habits

We drink
To forget
The Sins we let ourselves
Commit

When it comes down to it
I always thought you would be the one to cry over
But after all this time and no tears
I guess I had nothing to fear

Your problem is
You can only see beauty when you're drunk
And I
Was beautiful always

You fight for everything so hard
Except me

Let me feel that freedom
That you feel
When you choose her
Over me

Your wife must be lonely
With all the time you spend
Away from her
Wishing you had me

Tú y yo fueron lo mismo
Pero
La boca de tus habló mentiras
Y tus corazón es no blanco
Es ***** y mucho frío
Tus ojos esta muerto
Igual que tú para mí

My soul is on fire
Burning for all the sins
My body committed

Good-bye to those
who chose to walk away
You did all you could
to save yourself in the end
Your happiness is all I could have asked for

Suddenly
My face wasn't the one you saw
When Life became too much to carry
...doesn't moving on feel good?

I lose myself around you
And truly my love
I just cant afford
To cry anymore

This is a game.
I wouldn't lie to you,
it really is.
But don't think
for one ******* second
that I didn't come here to win.

The Warrior stands on the field after battle
Bodies lay before Her
The interior of her armor drenched in guilt
The exterior gleaming in red
Hands still clenching the sword and shield
She was paralyzed
Images of Her acts still happening

It is time to go
Her feet tell her body that Her job is done
Once She reaches home She knows
The applause of the people will wash over her armor
Taking the **** of the guilt away

But the Blood on Her hands
The blemish and scar of the heart
Showers of water will drown out the screams
Showers of memories will allow Death to follow Her

The moment Her eyes re-open to the sun
Her hands do burn
And she screams
A scream made of all the ones She took
They drown her
The still memories of the carnage
Each time Her mind chooses to wander
It walks back onto the Field

She can bury the dead
But She can't bury the Sins

Rose was left red
Violence isnt new
Drink that potion, kid
And they'll take you too

Some monsters have hearts
And we become the monsters
When we dont look for them

Remember
Something shared
Is almost always
Something lost
Something
You'll never get back
So don't give away
Don't share
Keep all
Stay whole

I'm only perfect
When the lights are off
And so are my clothes

Evil is
as evil always will be,
every time,
without fail or compassion.

And in that day I had fallen I love
It was the beginning of the end
But that much I didn't know
I remained nïeve and unaware
The feelings were all new to me
I had let mysel be consumed
Totally submerged in passion

It was in the mirror that I saw
All of my greatest fears lurked behind
I was blinded by my heart
Lust was seaping from his smile
I fell in love that day
But he did not

That night I lay beside him
With the sheers beside me
I cut it all
His hair
His pride
And little be known
His heart

For the fears I had seen
We're just that- fears
Insecurity was the weapon of the heart
But yet he stayed
Told me that all was right

In that instant I fell in love
With a man who had nothing
Yet held me as everything
He fell in love with a broken girl
Who made him whole

Learn to fall in love with who you are
Instead of who you think you're meant to be

I want to push him down
into a pile of leaves
Laughing the way children do
I'd fall backwards and he'd catch me
Looking into his beautiful green eyes
resembling the still crisp evergreens
Oh, the trees would be jealous
But also proud-
for their leaves were not wasted
We would lay and watch
the world move on around us
Flowers wilting
Clouds fleeing
Snow eventually following
When its time to fall
into his arms once more
not wrapped in leaves
But in blankets of his love

I have to show up
As who I am

I can't show up
As someone else

And expect to be loved
For me

Are you scared of the dark?
Of what lurks behind the closed door?
Because I can show you
And I can take you there
I just can't promise you
Your return

You sing like a bird
Out of key
And without purpose

My words could never be
As beautiful as her soul
Or complete as her person

Silver clouds
raining down
flood the world
and let it drown

Taint the soil
let it boil
one last call
end it all

sunlight shatters
did it matter?
in this finale
where will you be

in the arms of love
or dying of
the silver liquid

We often fail to realize
That we are always at a cross roads
Gazing at the unrelenting precipice
Of decision and consequence
Each moment one away
From falling farther or rising above

Tides that are bigger than you will always turn
That doesn't mean you have to go with the current

She's probably as pure as a daisy
I can't wait to show her my thorns

I want to give all my love away
And have it circled back
So then why shouldn't it
Be you?

You are so much stronger than you believe
Look again at those mountains ahead
They're nothing more
Than the feathers to set you free

Loosing weight
but not the right way
Hey,
sometimes that's how it needs to be done
Of course its not fun
and I'm coming undone
under the stress of starvation
and working the day shift
I cant stop because I need money
from paycheck to paycheck
I pay my bills and
you know it kills
when I'm forced to watch
the crisp green fall into the pockets
of those who are just gonna stock it
I'm trying not to waste
but so much of me is gone
my pants have long since abandoned my waist

And I'm just starting to think
****
maybe within just this black ink
Is all I dwindle down to

So in this one last plea
hear my decree
don't let me die like this
Just remember me

Nights are lonely with you gone
Not any more lonely I suppose
Than while you were mine
But the empty bed was easier then
At some point I knew to expect you
To eventually curl warmly into me

But it's difficult now
And lonely still  
And cold
Facing the reality
That your absence
Is the only thing I'm promised forever

Cigarettes and ashtrays
Red hair and Mohawks
Tattooed is the temple

Rock n' Roll
Busy home and quiet thoughts
Coloured are the walls

Big cities and small streets
Dark nights and bright lights
Empty is the sky

Sketching and painting
Rhyming and writing
Amazing is the Man

Would you kiss
all my petals
In the summer sun
without fear of the bees?

Where do my words go
When there's no one around
To catch them

I liked the days better when
You were begging to hold my hand
As we froze beneath the winter sun
Rather than it being pushed away
While me welt from the weight of the summer star

Onlookers!
Drift here.
Behold your eyes
For what you are about to see
If nothing short of fantasy.

You see a dazzling girl
Twirling around with her heart in a whirl
Lost in the stars
Little known, her heart lies behind bars
Now I know what you think-
And don't make a stink
But this illusion you see
Is a blurred reality

Ladies and Gents
Lend me your ears
Gather round close
For this next set of mirrors
With tricks more often than treats

Look at him smile
He drove all those miles,
Yet with nothing to say
His mind moving fast
Will his beating heart last?

He loves her so
But can't let her know
Oh no no
That wouldn't do
She hasn't a clue
Of just how lost he is
In the brokenness of her

Being ripped open
Again and again
Over and over
Can sometimes
Be the only way to heal

I'd delete your number
If only my fingers knew how
Just to forget your name
Only if my heart would let you go

The light of you haunts me
I just pray to be free

Some people sit there
and just make excuses.
But not me.
No, not anymore.
I'm not making any more excuses.
I'm making progress
and I refuse to stop growing.

The best revenge is kindness
Delivered with sincerity
And grace
