Earth with arms open to hold me,
Warmly in her blanket of hope.
I fall into her arms like they sold me,
From the sky I fell with rope.

Feet that seek gravity ,
Tightness in my throat.
Born into insanity,
Well out of my scope.

A falling star?
A shooting star?
A hanged star is before you.
Should be shining but I'm blue.

While I lay here breathing
Watching you sleep
Stroking your arm
Tired from the week.

Smiling as I look at you
While you're lightly snoring
Even as you sleep
To me you are not boring

I'd hate to wake you up
Although I'd love to kiss you
Dreaming of whatever
I lay beside you, with you.

I'm pretty sure right now
In this very second
I've slipped and fallen right to you
My heart for yours has beckoned.

I wonder what you dream of
Wish I could meet you there
Instead I'll wait for tomorrow
Feelings I'm not ready to share.

One day I will surely tell you
All the things I feel
Four letters will encompass
And capture, everything that's real.
Don't jinx it. When the time comes, it shall be. If it is right, it will be.

In the darkness she sat.
Still.

In the darkness she waited.
Still.

The air too afraid to move.
Still.

A sickness it would soothe.
Still.

The darkness was familiar,
Something she could feel.
It wanted to conceal her,
Pretend that it was real.

Tempted as she was,
Always was she tempted.
The darkness gave applause,
As all her hope suspended.

Meaning behind madness,
Nothing making sense.
Wishing meaning in this sadness,
Darkness smiling in defence.

A parcel tongue now whispering,
In her broken ears.
Her eyes watch candles flickering,
Dancing memories from the years.

The breath that left her lungs,
Travelled to the flames.
The memory of two tongues,
Wrapping in throughout her veins.

Flesh that burns for him,
Pure bright white light
Taking over a dim,
Candle in the night.
There comes a day when every flower dies.. and every candle at some point must be blown out.

When I look around at what is left without you,
I am blue.
When I think about all the words that weren't said,
I am red.
I stare into oblivion and I feel pain,
Like rain.
It washes over every part of my body,
It's ******.
I think about you on a boat with a fish,
And I wish.
Such a final choice you made,
To fade.
Always in my heart.
Always in my sight.
I have to accept you gave up the fight.
My darling bro. You made a choice we all at times ponder. I have to respect your bravery.

I sit and watch the water and the wind communicate,
I watch the birds fly over as they watch over our fate,
I wonder where the water goes, and where it all started,
The breeze carries to my nose, smells the ocean has departed.
Up here I hear the noises, nobody else can hear,
Down there they see our toes until they suddenly disappear.
It's a wonder where we go, where we all wander off to,
Like the thunder and the snow, I often wonder where they ever got to.

Such a simple thing to say that it all doesn't matter,
But don't you ever listen to the nature and its chatter?
Some times it whispers softly to your ears, or to your skin,
But when you start to listen more you can't deny what's found within.

A palm tree by the beach can rustle so aggressive,
You find one in a street so silent, so **** impressive!
Would you give it some attention if it couldn't catch your eye?
A wave that started out as just a rain drop from the sky.

Various pieces of bark have fallen from a tree,
Something in my heart, I can't see, is touching me,
The indifference between a laugh and a cry,
The distance between a love and a lie.
Nature's crack and rumble of thunder
Sparks in me, another wonder.

Have you ever had something taken away from you?
Stolen from under your nose,
And you wondered what to do,
We all know how the story goes..

Was it was irreplaceable?
An experience to say the least,
Something so disgraceful,
As though your body was a feast.

Do you know what it feels like?
To carry such a secret?
Ashamed you didn't fight,
Ashamed you didn't keep it.

Have you ever wondered if you're wrong,
Set out to try and find it,
The place where you belong,
A place that you can hide in

Does your body resonate,
With a numbness and a pain?
A place reserved for hate,
And crying in the rain.

Or how about the moment
When you ripped away the carpet
Never mind atonement
Because everyone said "fark it"

When the next one had a go
And you didn't do a thing
Laid there waiting for the blow
You just copped it on the chin.

It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
Lick your wounds
Lay off the salt.

Let go of shame
Forgive yourself
It's not a game
It's about your health.

You've had to learn
To respect your body
Scars that burn
Don't make you a hotty

Exploitation is not a regret
No one told you how to be
Finding your way, don't forget
Don't let that **** cloud what you see

With such a love for all existence
None of them snuffed out your spark
Your light is shining with persistence
You made best friends with the dark.

What was it that made me think?
Who turned me in that direction?
Stand around and watch me sink,
Different versions of affection.

Did they ever see me blink?
Living a life of pure deception,
Hope not to drown, and so I drink,
As long as I look like perfection.

Something about me fits your kink,
No self-control, just a slave to your *******,
How did this begin? Was it the wink?
You're nothing but a **** infection.

Don't mind my mind, it's on the brink,
Deny my every last objection,
The shame I have hides in pink,
Your shame is triggered by rejection.

Live your life within your lies,
Go on and raise a f*g kid,
But when you look into my eyes,
We both know what you did.

To be mad at you is a waste of energy,
Forgiveness is just about the same,
Not mad at you, or anything,
And now I can't even remember ya name!
With love and light my remedy,
I hope you lose at your own game,
Because though you are no enemy,
You'll never understand the pain.

You'll never know the after math,
The years and tears that come,
You'll never know my wrath,
Because for you, it's all said and done.

I hope your parents question you,
I hope they look at you with disgust,
Whatever story that you spew..
But hey, one day we'll all be dust.
