Silence is broken
ButtersBarOne Nov 2011
If a silence is broken
Maybe then you’ll hear my screams
Echoing blankly from your canvas
Bouncing back, right back at me

If you choose to let me colour you
If you choose to let me in
I’ll break down these hard edges
And warm your soft, cold skin

And now I’m painting wildly
Dark pictures in my head
They stop, stop me from dreaming
And I am awake with you in my head

Would all of your surroundings, collapse and crush your world?
Do you really think that lowly of yourself and what you’re worth?
To me you seem so wary, as scared as I have been
For love has hurt you blindly, and you don’t want to let them in
Love, I have been that wary, but regret none of my sins
To take life as it comes to you, to let it all get under your skin
Now I am thinking blindly, and all this darkness in my head
Won’t stop me from believing, that you want me instead

For I will be the darkness, a shadow in your mind,
An ever burning question, a small spark that burns so bright
I’ll keep these fires burning, I’ll wait for you and your mind
To make your final choice love, I’ll wait all through these nights

I’ll keep the memories burning, I’ll savour what we had then
I’ll wait in dark elation, I know you want this skin
And we burn, like all the others
But ours is a different light
We make an illustrious union
Our bodies in the night

I have kept this burning, and you play these games so well
I long for your bright eyes baby, to break this cursed spell
That day will come with time now, and I can wait until then
Just know that while you’re thinking, I am a broken man
That hopes you’ll make him whole soon, as two parts unite as one
And in our final union, we shall ignite and outshine the sun.

And in this glove....
ButtersBarOne Nov 2011
Sprung, from beauteous filth,

The lies and gradation of the un wed saints

Hung, from gracious guilt,

The death and oration of the un sung and faint

Led, from grounded earth,

The soulless narration of the unloved taint


Believing is all when your all is a lie,
The smell of defeat in the blink of her eye,
The way you never fail to surprise the easily shockable,

Revealing that all was a lie of your life,
The decay of a scent from the skirt of the pile,
The path you never chose to really surmise the unreadable, uncollectable


Paid, to believe this girth,

The salt and salvation of unborn wealth,

Laid, the solution of all their faith,

The untouchable wrath and indignation of lifeless whelps,

Said, to ears that deceive all truth,

The unsinkable feeling you and your friends try not to avoid


Swaying in time to a common hope thief,
The guileless age and her sense of relief,
I thought i just told you to leave love at the door,

Poison and ruptured the stale old lies,
A night of betrayal and blood on these tiles,
Faithless, inauguration a purpose that you belie,

Lover, sweet mother, joker, and harpies with scales combine,
Hater, sweet undertaker, all is within, a touch to cold skin and a world you can't deny,
Believers, my underachievers, fornicate how to the march of the rain, a lifelong ambition that's driven in pain, a rusty disease that you spread with a knife, a guiltless decision made by his wife, a turning old format that withers and screams, a breathless recognition, we all fail to grin, just wait on the inkline to say what you want, I’m turning these covers and buying the bought, ******* the sweetness to boldly deny, that all these suspicions were aroused in the night, a turning, a quickening, a life on the rails, this one ****** mess i can't wash from my nails, so thorough, so clean, yet so impure it's not true, i tried to remake what i thought couldn't be you, but all indication now points to my spine, the tossing and yearning beneath valentine, i am the weather that spoils your day, please hold my ears as she screams my name.

Again?
ButtersBarOne Nov 2011
So, circles into spirals and cycles again,

Messages into words and letters ingrained,

Hands into pockets and eyes have been trained,

Features from looking so hard that you strained,

Over stretched meanings aborted through change,

A little light of warning and waryness braved!


So circles into spirals and handheld refrain,

Drumming on windows and blood on the pane,

Letters recycled and bravery stained,

Fearless of the freedom that messages contain,

Over used syllables revealing their brain,

Over and over and over and over again!


Again? Again, Again! Again!

A Flickering Light
ButtersBarOne Nov 2011
There is no restraint here when I’m locked in your eyes
There is no below here, only heavenly skies

If I give all I am here, will you ******* away?
If I give what you need here, and show you the way

Let me taste all you are there, let me touch all desires
Let me be all you need here, and we’ll be there for hours

If I give all I am girl, please don’t turn away
Look me in the eyes, right here, and scream my name

If we thrash out our dark hearts, and see morning through dark nights
We can run here eternal, just believe in our little lights

I have tasted you once lover, and it was never the same
You opened these dark eyes covered, and put others to shame

Because I know who you are lover, a flickering light
Let me burn you much brighter, and show you all, tonight.

— The End —
