Daddy the kids at school are mean to me
They say bad things to me
They push and shove me
Can you fix it for me?

Daddy the boy I loved hurt me
He said bad things to me
He pushed and shoved me
Can you fix it for me?

Daddy mommy's bleeding
She's lying on the floor weeping
You pushed and shoved her, daddy
You hurt her while I was sleeping

I can fix it, daddy
I can make mommy feel better
Don't hurt me yet daddy
First let me fix her

Daddy why's mommy so cold
Why is mommy so white
Get her a blanket daddy
Let her rest for the night

Daddy mommy won't wake up
Daddy
Daddy
Daddy!
Daddy where'd you go mommy needs you
Daddy, please, I don't know what to do

Daddy your bed is empty
You left mommy alone
Daddy come back
And fix my broken home

Lack of parental guidance
It's getting harder to stand the silence
So I'll just sit until its over
And await the noise supernova

Rocking in the corner
Screaming, "I'm sober!"
With a needle in my vein
And track marks all over

Owe my life to someone
Someone who gave theirs
I would give my life for someone
To join them on the divine stairs

Rocking in the corner
Screaming, "I'm sober!"
With a needle in my vein
And track marks all over

Coup de foudre
Lost in a locked stare
Gave everything and all my love
So that he would know I cared

Rocking in the corner
Screaming, "I'm sober!"
With a needle in my vein
And track marks all over

Everything I loved
Lost to consequence
Still I'm corrupted
By his influence

Rocking in the corner
Screaming, "I'm sober!"
With a needle in my vein
And track marks all over

Remember how
We would skip in the street
Remember now
I never kept up with your feet
And how hard I would try
To stay by your side
But you so easily flew
Far away from all you knew

I remember skipping
How peaceful it could be
I also remember the skipping
That occurred when it wasn't so happy
When the rough patch
Would scratch at the latch
Of what we kept buried
While we skipped and hurried

I know we skipped too fast
I know we skipped too fast
I know you just tried
To make it last
But I know we skipped too fast
Because I can hardly remember
What changed about us
When you changed your mind
Last September

And so I guess what eats me most
Is that you've become a ghost
And this goes to show
That you never did know
How much it would destroy me
To watch you skip away slowly

When you choose to end it all
I hope you remember me
I hope that I gave you something good enough
Something at least

When you choose to end it all
I hope it’s not because you are alone
I hope you can know that you still have so much here
You don’t have to do this on your own

When you choose to end it all
I hope you don’t
I hope you sleep

And when you’re given the choice
To sit out or dance
I hope you dance
Dearest Jounaid,
I do hope you like this, if you read it. It was inspired by you in a sense. Not the content itself, but more the message.

All the affection,
Tishka

Christine
sometimes,
late at night,
i worry

i worry
about little
(or, perhaps, big)
things
like if he suddenly
wakes up
one day
and realizes  
that i'm not good enough for him

that he could do so much better than just me
and that this
us
shouldn't be happening.

most of all,
i worry
that he will fall
in love with
someone new.

(someone,
who is not
me.)

You're the reason I am
The reason the clouds no longer cover the sun inside me
The reason the frost doesn't bite
The reason every nerve in my body is alive with sensation

Please
Don't leave

You're the reason for the change of season in my soul
The reason winter feels as much like summer as summer does
The reason the trees in the grove of my mind still stand even after their leaves have fallen
The reason the solstice in my eyes eclipses my troubled thoughts

So please
Don't leave

You're the reason we are
The reason you can chip away my walls like the bark of a Grand Oak
The reason for the no longer desolate look in the windows to my soul
The reason for my every painful exchange of breath

So I'm sorry
So sorry
That I have to leave

Enter in a tomb of gore
Suddenly blinded by a kaleidoscope of colour
Confusion sets in like a cyanide pill; quickly and dangerously
You howl, baby, like a wolf who lost its pack

Endure the painful struggle
The oscillating rhythm of good and bad
Disappointment and fear around every corner
Like a pick pocketer waiting for the opportune moment to rob you of all happiness
You complain, child, profusely like a youth deprived of entertainment

Exit in a wooden prism
The swaying motion nauseating your corpse as they carry you
Down, down, down
Darkness all around
