Free Bird

Hollow

I gave him my heart,
I thought we could share,
But now he's got two hearts,
While my chest is left bare.

They are all clawing at her now
Everyone wants a piece
She's at the peak of her powers
A few years left in her at least

Keep your taser in your nightstand
the new one with laser sights
things are bound to get heavy
the way you spend your nights

I'd say keep me on speed dial
but i know you never will
walking on the high wire without a net
provides your needed thrill

I lost you to those animals
I fear this may be the case
My love only was never enough
Your preference a wider fan base

So proceed down your path
a prisoner of the rooms
at least your fate is predictable
you will be consumed

ball and chain

I was so happy for you
When you finally walked out the door
It was clear to me I was dragging you down
Now look at you soar

As you float in the stratosphere
And look down upon the collective
Please consider the start of your journey
A reference for perspective

I Remember you

It was so much better
When you were still small time

Now that everyone wants a piece of you
You don't have time for me

And that's fine I am happy you got what you always wanted
totally understand why you wouldn't want to hang with such a bore

I know when they truly see what you are
It will make them love you more

It won't take long until they start point out your flaws
And as if on cue out come the claws

your final strike will be deadly precise
A smiling spewing jugular slice

dying on the vine

up all night
loud music playing
Nervous laughter with friends
Not real
Life in a box
Robbed of her childhood
The baby cries
house arrest
Couldn't break the cycle

I've seen enough
Their stories are told on their faces
You can only take so much before the weak break
Or you just accept your fate

surface rust

It had been awhile
I wanted to catch up
despite her current relationship
she agreed to meet for lunch

I asked what went wrong with us
I was working on my stuff to the best of my ability
She said that was the problem
Your vulnerability

convulse

The night you fell asleep in my arms
by 4 am you were long gone
burning up and shuddering in the night
a violent battle raging on

I held on tight listening to every mumbled curse
projecting images of your past
I need to meet those demons you locked horns with last night
after the wormhole collapsed
