My Dear,
in all of your years
you have let the pain make you hard.
but it was deep within
the cracks of your skin,
that I found Your love

If by chance you and I
were the only lovers left alive,
all my fears would subside
deep in your arms I would reside
in Heaven until the end of time

Nothin hurts like the words
As they slink and slither and crawl
Through your mind
All the time
A ruthless brawl
Of right and wrong
A tuneless song
Nothin hurts like the words

Live and learn
crash and burn

Ashes

Rise again
Phoenix in the wind

Magic

And when there is nothing left but the ashes, the sun will shine upon a flower in the dark, and love, ever so giving, will prosper once more.

I built a
house with every
memory
and burnt it
to
the
ground

To sleep I shut my eyes,
try to shake off the nightmare from lastnight

reminisce about what used to be,
try not to let truth's fangs sink too deep

let my mind dance away on two left feet, realize sleep will bring on dreams of all the finer things

force my thoughts into a box, close the lid and seal them up

now it's quiet, safe and sound
long at l a s t I am
Dream Bound

now You're attatched
to every
song I
love and
still I
let Them
play

They say we are
alll stardust mixed

with particles
of the
Moon

And so I
wonder if
there is
music in
Space

The way I feel
it in
My Bones

Why do we
clutch so
tightly,
the things
that hurt us
most and
watch as it
burns right
through
Our skin?

thunder struck
my fragile bones
and left me
with a
memory quite like
when you
left

lie to me,
say it isn't true
your heart loving her,
mine crying out for you

under a lurking full moon,
the signs tease at my mind,
minutes pass by slowly,
all that's left is precious time

All the minutes passed,
Broken at the end
A heart melted fierce
A soul devil sent

Ceaseless rope
of heart-strings
and hope
coiled around my neck.

A knot held strong
with the words
of a song
and what lurked in-between the words.

Wrapped around tight
fitting
just right
one last breath to spare.

There is no use
fighting with
a love noose,
body limp and empty of air.

The itsy bitsy spider crawled from your darkest dream, caught a fly in his trap, life isn't what it seems.

Up came the sun and washed out all the fear, off flew the fly, kept safe in the web, unlike the gracious spider, who ended up dead.

How do flowers bloom from dirt, beautiful? How does the sun rise every morning just as brilliant as the day before? I cannot remember exactly when I lost myself completely, or if I ever even had a self to lose. Hate crashes over me and I am drowning, choking on words left unsaid,  breathless after a silent scream. And after the waves cease and the waters calm there is nothing left but an empty shell, washed up on the shore and left for the next wave to consume. All pieces together but still broken. Shame wraps around me perfectly, a black cloak. Surrounded. It's fabric is strong, relentless, my body is no match. Suffocating. Soon its grip has severed the conection to my mind and I am its prisoner. Surrendered. Minutes turn into hours turn into days and soon we have become one, shame and me. We move together, a perfect pair, dancing through darkness on two left feet.
