it is Christmas

the little boy
happily playing
with his shiny new toys
is oblivious to the
dark cloud that envelopes
his parents

I am sad as I sense
that this might be the
last Christmas
when both parents
watch him play

I don’t push people away.
I don’t forget people from yesterday.
I just wish I had more to say.
Not so interesting
I’m very mundane.
So don’t get angry and tell me
I pushed you away.
I’m just a human being.
Caught in the times.
It’s always too late.
And history won’t have me written in a page.
I’m not to blame.
I’m only human.
A victim of the insane.
I been trying to reach out for sometime and I don’t know how to anymore.
that his toilet won't flush because it's clogged with hundred-
dollar bills that he uses as toilet paper. He has so much
money that he throws it out the window after using
it as toilet paper because his toilet is clogged.

I didn't want to study,
Nor did I want to play,
I just sat motionlessly,
For it was a long day.

I didn't want to get up,
Nor did I want to lie down.
I fell like I am breathless,
I'm drowning in the crowd.

People of all the ages,
People that don't even care,
Won't judge what's in my pages,
Why the hell am i so scared?

And I'm hugged by the dark,
Who invited me to stay.
And I snapped out of bed,
It's gonna be a long day.

I Saw a dream...
It was you and me
With another one
Some of you and some of me

I saw a dream

Struggled for it
Worked for it
Planned for it
Hurt for it..

I saw a dream.

Syringes filled with liquid
Sometimes filled with blood
Some part of me excited
Some part of me stunned.

I saw a dream.

The call of siren
The call of hope
The wait of nine months
But wait for it some more

I saw a dream..
I saw some dream
I saw you so far away
And bloodshed left with me.

I saw a dream.

When I die, don’t look for me in the stars,
Look for me in my words.
Look for me in the books that line the shelves,
The letter “R” and the letter “E—"
And in every word you see them,
Please think of me.

Look for me where I’ve walked
And where I’ve never been.
Look for me in sadness, and I’ll be there...
But look for me in joy, too, won’t you?
Since they’re both so beautiful,
And both so true.

When I die, come look for me here;
Words won’t just disappear.

Would you still love me if the night spoke my sin,

if the ash of my mistake clung to our bodies,

if the wind carried whispers of my guilt

and our skin bore the scent of shattered stars—

would your hands still gather me from the void?

Don’t undress me
With your eyes.
I wish I could show you-
Raised, jagged, ugly marks
But I can’t.

So we dance
With clothes on,
Until you get bored.

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She made me hold her closer
She made me laugh
I cried
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced all night

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight she held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

She took my hand and held me
What was I meant
To do
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I danced with you

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight You held me tight
Tonight I danced with the Devil
A total lovers sight

You had me for your supper
Be-spelled is all
I am
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight I'll be your life

Tonight I danced with the Devil
Tonight you took my soul  
Tonight I danced with the Devil
Blinded I'm the fool
