Diamonds and Twigs
I will always prefer twigs over your diamonds

I've always been that girl

Playing in the mud

And laughing 'till i cry

An odd one?

M a y b e

But trust me

I'f you ever find me on the street

Say  a n y t h i n g

I don't need diamond words

When i have my twig

S m i l e,

And my youth

The circle box
Open up the circle box
Slowly and fragile
All the same

Feel the impact of what's inside
Look into its crystal glass
See yourself looking back

Through the time warped mirror
Back to the days
Where your smile never left

Slowly feel the empty
Blank
Where your ears should be

You can not hear
How can you know?
A wishful smile breaks

Oblivion slowly wraps itself around you
As your sight is blinded
And you are alone

Crossing Paths
We walk bare footed through
City streets
Trying to seem
Bold

We cross paths
On our city streets
Barefooted and
Cold

We notice now
Our silliness
And our helpless
Ways

And turn our heads
To see a man
Walking through thorns
Without pain

Cuts and cuts
Swallow him
But he feels
None

The man is but
A dream to us
Our invincibility
Has gone

The Hermit
Close the doors
To cruel fate
Shut the windows
Could it be a mistake?

Wall up in safe simplicity
What is there to lose at this rate?
Can we contain every fear?
Could we ever use someone as bait?

If the Hermit does repent
And slowly opens up his gate
He may shake and tumble through
But he has escaped

Your smile is all denial
You remind me of a time
When I was so helpless
Looking into your eyes
Seeing my reflection
I honestly can't believe
That you could ever feel like
Me
Yet you burn and bleed
Daily
Drowning in your river of denial
And I wish I knew what to do
But I know that if I help
You will pull me back in
And sometimes i need to walk away
No matter how cold hearted
The word "no"
Has always suited me
I refuse to let myself fall in love
With you
Just because I relate

Summers past
Press my bare feet on the cold wood
Slowly pacing
Fold up the last patio chair
And fold up summer

Untitled
I cry someone
Else's sadness
Wrought by the cold desire
Of playing savior
So that maybe i could save
Him

Day and oblivion
I get up every morning
Only to fall into oblivion
Steadily floating
Through another vapid day
Praying with my eyes
Wide open
For a different sight
Holding close to my
Beliefs
As the waves wash me back
To the bliss shore of sleep

Have you heard
Have you heard that
Every sweet song
Has sorrow under its wings
That every wooden soul
Can burn with a blaze
That every tear shed
Is a waterfall of emotions
Breaking down
That every tired eye
Is alight with the night
And have you heard that
Heart versus heart
Every drop of blood
Is rich with troubled times
And joyous finds

Forever shades of gray
guide my eyes to see in the dark
While pushing me towards the light
I've finally found why I'm so afraid
of love and happiness
My eyes have grown custom
To dark hopeless cries
That so when i feel the love
Its like a blinding light

The fever
Nothing burns more
Than the tears from your cold heart
Nothing stings more
Than having to tear us apart

Nothing aches as much
As the pain killers made of insults
Nothing hurts as much
As seeing the terribly true results

Nothing feels right
Since you broke our music yesterday
Nothing scares me
But knowing I'm your prey

With this fever
everything remains in ruins
With this tragedy
hope is no longer a brief belief
but a wish that brings grief

Ocean eyes
Through your ocean eyes
You see laughter and calm beach
The swaying waves
And seagulls swooping
Through joyous turns
The hot sand
That welcomes your bare feet
As the smell of salt
Taints the air
Oh how i wish to see through
Your ocean eyes

The introvert
Tiny thoughts pass my mind
As i wait in my head for a bus that isn't coming
And so with my downtime
I will believe that something good will happen
Then i drift away
Aug 2010 · 430
A night of nothing
I look up into the night sky
And see nothing but dreams
And broken promises
I wish for the best
And then I look up
To see my wish with everyone else's
Unanswered hopes

No redemption
Holding back every bitter tear
As i look in the mirror
Only to see no one
Have i lost my way
Or am i truly gone
Week by week
I disintegrate
Into the cold blood
Of a familiar stranger

Im (not) sorry
You tried to change me and i just walked away
I'm not sorry
I said goodbye and just left
And I'm not sorry
I didn't forgive you
And I'm not sorry
I told you how i felt about you
And I'm not sorry
I gave up everything to forget you
And I'm not sorry
I did what i wanted
And I'm not sorry
I don't love you
And I'm not sorry

I took advantage of you
And I'm sorry
I didn't listen to you
And I'm sorry
I never opened up
And I'm sorry
I never answered your questions
And I'm sorry
I lied to you
And I'm sorry
I changed you
And I'm sorry
I let us burn out
And I'm sorry

But what I'm truly sorry for
Is i broke your heart
While trying to find mine

The last moment
Razor eyes stare through the glass
As fading light lies in bed
With rushing hope scrambling around
And robotic death sentences slowing there beeps
As shadows whisper welcoming words
To unknown callers
Silent screams of repent to undo a hopeless cause
And brilliant white sheets soon to be folded
With chilling beds and underground havens
Will tears touch the freshly placed dirt
Where your body lies,never to see the sun again
We remember the last moments
Of the sad truth

Breezing by
I don't make a impact
I simply breeze around others lives
Forever just to be a girl they once knew
I'm nothing in this world filled with
Hate and love
Just a kid with unheard opinions
And broken screams

Drowning past
Tenor my thoughts
Relieve my stress
Balance my heartache
Rivers water
Flow through me
Take me apart from you

freeing yourself
Ash falls from the clear blue sky
The heat of flames crackle nearby

As the key to be free turns
And the excitement of freedom burns

As your shackles and chains fall off your cold wrists
And you prepare to use your fists

But no one is there to fight you but a mirror
and now you see everything clearer

the only person holding you down was yourself
and now you know the feeling of freeing yourself

ravens reminder
Red petals drop off the tree
Blood glistens off the sword
A woman's grief gives relief
To those that go to war

Waterfalls flow off the cheeks of rocks
Spraying drops of oceans salt
As the ravens fly around me in flocks
Reminding me that I'm the one at fault

Lost in Tragedy
Now this aching feeling
It's tearing me apart
And this devilish endeavor
It's pulling us apart
Now we're lost in tragedy
Lost in the fired sky
The planes flew away but
Put us back to the start

— The End —
