Must have a goal
Go get that thing
What if I want
To stop and sing

Retreat inside
Wait out the storm

Else feel the wrath
Of nature scorned

Instead a kid
I wish to be
To feel alive
And so carefree


Each drip, each drop
Upon my head
Wish I could splash
In rain instead


I'd watch the sky
Explode with light
A warming joy
Not filled with fright

When did I lose
Sight of it all
Predictable
Pattern I fall


Start living in
Every moment
Past and future
Wasted and spent

Granted a new
Chance I'm given
Can not redo
But start living

Each day awake
Fresh start; Can be

World's my oyster
Alive and free

You're a beast
Dark, your heart
Sinster, your ways
Yet you don't hurt me

A wolf you say
Big and bad
Missing your Red Riding Hood
But you guard me

Pumped with poison
Stacked with sleeplessness
On the hunt for prey
Though, kindly you guide me

You lick my wounds
And share your warmth
You even seem to enjoy me

I'm no Little Red
More like a Wendy
And soon she will return

But your fur, your eyes
Your toothy grin
Seem a lot like Neverland

Never thought
I'd find myself in
A Fairy Tale
Crisis
I like the idea of this
It needs more work
I may rid of it all together...

Will you remember her eyes?
Green and heavy
Painted with innocence, her disguise

Will you remember her smile?
The one in love
With you and all your trials

Will you remember her heart?
The one obsessed
Trying not to grow apart

Will you remember her tears?
Marked with pain
As she realized her fears

Will you remember her?

eileen
Truth is
I feel so heavy
Lost
Depressed
The feeling
Won't leave
Inside my head
I'm going in circles

Truth is
I'm depressed
And
I don't know what to do anymore

Sin
I cannot win
In this life of sin
Married to you
But in love with him

Your words, sharp and hard
His soft, poetic and full of charm
You break me down
Your criticism, angrily marred

His, full of kindness and wisdom
Plenty and lacking cynicism
You're sure to cut me low
You're lost in your own narcissism

I begged for it to be untrue
As your cruel dimeanor grew
Sorrowful, my heart is heavy
For I no longer want you

I don't know how to leave
This life, I will grieve
But restless, my heart is amiss
Oh how I wish he loved me

Drunk with his lingering kiss
Makes your hurt, hurt me less
Though I know it will never grow
His kindness I will surely miss

And much to my chagrin
He is not mine
So in this life of sin
I cannot win

You glittered,
    Shiny, sharp rays of color,
that I needed to know.
