Open your heart
Open your eyes
What to believe
When the truth lies

How much pain
Can you endure?
Placing your bets
Yet so unsure

Buckle on up
Life's crashing down
The presence unknown
New kid in town

Outward destruction
Find inner peace
Renting out Hell
An eternity lease

Deathgrip on life
White knuckle squeeze
Demons arriving
The last angel flees

The best part of life
Is sleeping through it
Eyes tightly shut
White walls dim lit

Eaten alive
Swallowed by covers
Cuddled in pleasure
Like new young lovers

Just hold me close
For 10 minutes more
I'll be back tonight
Looking to score

Keep my spot warm
Forwhen I arrive
Lifeless I'll lay
Feeling alive

If my head isn't right
How can I be wrong?
Shut in a box
Where I don't belong

I can't stand the tapping
The meaningless screeching
Surrounded by sanity
The walls you are breaching

Strike up the meltdown
Straight from the source
One pull of the trigger
Blows away my remorse

So far from deaf
I can't stand the noise
One little cough
Infects all my joys

One after another
You hit every peeve
The repetetive nature
Me fighting to leave

Each piercing noise
Day after day
Drowning in silence
With so much to say

Another Friday night
Let's burn this city to ash
I may be in debt
But have a pocket of cash

Blue button down
Jeans pressed so tight
Don't plan on wearing them
Very much tonight

Let's turn up again
Like weekends before
But that's not my life
I'd love nothing more

Another week over
With no plans made
Alone in my room
Is where I have stayed

For the last year
Coming up on another
The only woman I text
Is saved under "Mother"

"Goodnight love u"
Is all that is typed
Which I follow with "love u"
Night after night

So glad I got
My hair cut to impress
To lay in my room
And rhyme words that depress

That I can post online
For a comment or two
I hardly enjoy it
Just something to do

Of course you are out
Embracing your youth
While I'm making up verses
With underline truth

I've done so well
For a guy my age
Independent at 18
That set the stage

For my future
Long and bright
And I guess being asleep
By 9:00 every night

Eighteen years
Never been kissed
And I've struck out again
Swing and a miss

Can count every date
On half of a hand
I want more than lust
I just don't understand

My poems of love
I'll never relate
Can't find a friend
Much less a date

So glad I worked
For a place of my owm
A constant reminder
I'm still alone
Partial Artist Mar 2020
If there's wine in the bottle
Then bring me a glass
Halfhearted sips
Whole hearted distress

I'm cracking up
God I wish I could laugh
Whether in blood or water
Draw me a bath

Hope has been found
Why am I so lost?
He swore he'd stay
With his fingers crossed

Screaming for silence
I've lost my voice
I'd shut off the world
If given a chance

In my bed
Sleep deprived
Searching for clarity
My demons revived
Partial Artist Mar 2020
Slipping away
Rotting decay
Why can't I just forget?

Crippling feat
Ending near
Please God just let

Up with the pressure
I'll pray for pleasure
If that's all it takes
To make me real again

AGAIN
AGAIN

Still with no end
I found all the torment
Lost in a friend

BEGIN
BEGIN

Stillborn in sin
Cradle me tight
If I'm born again
Partial Artist Mar 2020
Why are you so alive
When I'm dead in the eyes
Knee deep in a grave
My casket of lies
