A little sooner than I expected.
Felt the same way millions of times before.
Pushed down onto the sidewalk
Or treated like a mat.
It gets worser every time.
This time, it's you.

Was under a false pretense.
Hoped that you were it.
Time and time again I've been under a hoax,
Like a trance
But with a huge ripple effect.
Shock waves of pulsating movements
That live on for an eternity.
Being scarred deeply;
Bleeding through the lacerated wound.
Watching the bomb go tick-tock-tick-tock;
The impact is hard and deep,
But I've always got something to say.

Hear me out,
Hear me loud.
You've broken me
And I can't be fixed.
Constant fear fades away,
Letting mundane life take over.
Sad to say you've had your chance,
So now I'll see you on the other side.

I know,
Death; Despair; Doom; Depression.
It's all my forte.
Slash, burn, stab, and ****.
Never was a little bit happy.
Showed no sign of giving in
To the greater forces in life.
I'll always be who I am.
And again, I'll return to my roots
One day.
I can never say I'm not.
This is 'cos I'll always be.

Heavy metal brushes the wind
Boot tracks in disarray
Cloudiness over the stifling night
No creature in sight

Rustle among the leaves
Darting eyes everywhere
Cocking of the gun
Birth of a son

Phantoms among the trees
Demons in the leaves
Echoes in the air
Glow in the bare

Expressionless to the sight
Military at fright
Found and unexpected
Guns retracted

There lays serenity
A piece of bare art
In hand holds the life of two
The sacrifice for the crew

Courage powers the son
With underlying emotions
Reach out
Salvation is about

Warmth to the skin
Death of a sin
All passengers in
Let the story begin

It last for an eternity,
This feeling that fuels me.
I've shed many tears,
But I just have to face it.
You make me feel this way for a reason,
Like water and fire rage as two extremes,
But together,
Earth is formed.
That feeling that makes me throw myself forward
And dive into the clouds;
Free-falling into the unknown.
It seems like heaven on earth
Or maybe you're just heaven sent,
No matter how down-to-earth you may seem.
You;re everything I could ever ask for,
But the only thing is,
You're not mine.
There's a place in my heart for you;
That place is paradise.
I wish I could say we were meant to be,
But fate is on a course unknown.
No matter what happens,
I'll love you forever.
And this love is the strongest I've ever seen.
It's overwhelming beyond control;
A manifest of emotions.
A whirlwind of doubt.
A brick wall of closure.
It's everything yet nothing at all;
Like a shapeshifter at work.
Everything will last forever
Even if you never know.
This love is everlasting.

Vultures up above,
Circling around the sun;
Down below they circle too,
In leather hue.

Their boots crackle like fire.
Dry heat swarms over.
Safety's off at the revolver.
Silence doesn't say it's over.

Narrowed eyes,
Tightened lips;
A second's glance
Starts the magnificent dance.

Ignite the fire.
Press down on the trigger.
The bullets ricochet everywhere;
It's like a colourful dare.

This is the showdown
And nothing is gonna stop it.
It goes on forever;
It goes on wherever.

Stop shot in the middle of the dust,
It's their final call.
Whip out your guns, boys.
Let me see your toys.

Will it ever end?
Oh yes, it will.
For the final moment,
They trigger their alarms
And all is done.

Eaten a poison apple
That grew from a great big tree
Its vines tangled around my body
Its roots chained me down

Every time I broke free
It swallowed me back up again
With greater force than the last
A never-ending cycle of prison

Bound to its trunk
Day and night
Feeling the poison run through my veins
There's nothing I can do about it

One day I'll be free
Join all the winsome smiles out there
But for now
I remain tied down

Shooting star
Burning comet
Wherever you are
I'll be there for you
With the speed of light
In the nick of time
I'll run the universe
I'll fly the worlds
I'll traverse the suns
And I'll walk the stars
All just for you
Suffering abrasions and debris
Searing heat and freezing ice
The universe is ours
This eden of light
So just call me tonight
And I'll be there

Today, I feel like I'm floating.
Floating in murky water,
Treading through the deep and shallow,
Searching for clear land.

Today, I feel like I'm flying.
Flying in hazardous weather,
Winding around lightning bolts,
Searching for a brighter sky.

Today, I feel like I'm running.
Running on rocky surface,
Avoiding all cracks in the ground,
Searching for a smooth patch of green.

Today, I find myself wondering.
Wondering who these love songs are for.
Wondering who these tears are for.
Wondering who holds my heart the strongest.
Wondering who will be there for me tomorrow.

Wake up in the morning
Climb out of bed
Your voice is the first thing I hear
From the tiny radio box
My heart's thumping to the beat
It gets my blood rushing
Just the crazy things you do to me

Down by the little park
Left behind the hustle and bustle of the city
Impromptu musicians pick up a random beat
I start to dance my way
Across the bridge I go
Over the shallow pool
Full of ducklings swimming along
Pick up a few flowers
Caress them as though they were you
A beautiful flower in my hands
Just the crazy thing about you

Meet up with friends
We're going out on the town tonight
Hit the disco
Headlights flashing everywhere
Dance to your beat
Like you're right here by my side
Just the crazy way you make me sway

Twenty-four seven
You're on my mind
Hard to get rid of
But why would I
Hard to believe you're true
But hey, that's you
Crazy as can be

C is for the cacophony of chatter.
L is for the long hours of dread.
A is for the accusations of the heart.
S is for the serpentine lines of words.
S is for the song of goodbye.

I once saw this puppet in the window
Pointed to it as it hung limp by its strings
It wore a dainty dress with daffodils
Braided hair and blue sparkling eyes
As the show started it pranced around
Following all of the puppeteer's movements
Much applause came when the show ended
And as the curtains closed
I noticed the puppet's painted smile
Full red lips showing a row of white teeth
Only I knew there was much more to the smile
It was fake.

Set me free
And let me go.
See my wings
Soar up high
Into the sky.
Fly,
Fly,
Fly.

Love is that warm feeling.
It does all your healing.
Love is that embrace.
Oh, it is grace.
Love is when you go crazy.
It is when your hair goes fizzy.
Love is a melody.
Filled with all the emotion of a graceful lady.
Love is when I have run out of words to describe it.
Love is when you make a good person out of it.
Love is everywhere.
Love is ubiquitous.
Love is love.
