She was beautiful
And dangerous too

We danced under the rain
I fell in love with her fragrance

Her thorns were too sharp
Nobody could touch her body

When the sun shined on her
She began to smile at me

She was my beautiful flower
And I never let her dry out for a day

Look into mine eyes
tell me what thou see

I see a prison, a soul
with hopes of escaping

I see padded walls
with a crazed man aching

I see deep sorrow
a human breaking

I see a gray sky
always raining

I see a husk of skin
eternally forsaking

I see a chasm
forever isolating

I see a mind
always creating
and hating
thy creation

I gazed upon thine eyes
and I saw hell in thy pupils

Kissing someone new
Feels odd
Like getting used to
Living in a foreign country

I do not know the traditions
Or speak the language
And its hard
When you homesick

I guess there are countries
I'd like to travel
Strange lands of unknown jungles
All of them are mine

I still feel like
I have a lot to learn
How to wish for things
I can handle my own

Still im here
Haven't traveled anywhere yet
Keeping at bay with fear and decay
I just know one thing
I mostly rhime when I pray.

I always do
The same mistake.
I always do the mistake
Of getting close to you

This never benefits
But only calm storms
Momenterally
Only to find out
I've created another

I always do the same mistake
Of getting close to you
This fire is comforting
But the burn will cost me
My life

I would leave
This dreadfull place
If it wasn't so cold
Up in this hill

But worst of all
Worst of anything
Im losing
Myself

To get
Absolutely
Intirely
Nothing.

     "This isn't who you are."

    "You're not the girl I used to know."

   "I don't know who you've become."

He repeats these lines
So much these days
It annoys me more than
A broken record ever could
Ever should
Ever would
Cause I told him
I warned him thoroughly

     "I'm not nice."

    "You won't like the real me."

   "I'm not worth fighting for."

But he didn't listen
He filled my head with empty
Promises that he meant
He filled my heart with hollow
Vows that he could never fulfill

     "How can a person be so cold?"

    "How can a lady be so cruel?"

   "How can you change so fast?"

He looks hurt and
I hurt a little
But I shut down
Cause that's what I always do

     "I'm nefarious, lover."

    "Had my heart broken a few times."

   "Now it's made of stone."

The poet lives two lives.
One on the outside,
And one in their mind.

When you look in their eyes
You could see an abyss.

If you looked long enough
You could sink into it.

But most people don’t see it.

Take the time to read the words, though,
And you would know for sure.

The poet lives in two different worlds.
