We live in systematic chaos that is
peeling us away from what we need to say,
what we need to do.
It is stealing our tongues from soft-spoken mouths
and squeezing our lungs until we are hushed
amid the people too rushed
to push against it.
It is a chaos that is subtle,
a chaos that is tearing at our
huddled forms, our minds too muddled
to even consider fighting back.
But we hack and we hoist against
every other trouble in the day,
which only serves to double the pain
crashing in at night.
And with all our might we praise
a form way up in the sky, so silent
and forgetful we begin to question why.
Why do we scurry to honor this
man in the air who seems to
be in no hurry to help, to hear?
When we **** and we steal whatever
we want, this systematic chaos
just continues to taunt us down here.

With oceans in my lungs
I can barley breathe a word.
The surface of my thoughts,
just seem so far away.

Twitching lullaby
Lay under the trees
Have your eyes opened
Bring me to my knees
Amongst moon and stars
See what I've seen
Keep tears in jars
Glitter and gleam
Missing in waves
Laughing in stream
Digging my grave
That's love at eighteen

Forgive,
forget,
heartbreak's only antidote.
Unto chains of despair  
I became one
with solid ground.
Only to realize,
if the world was an oyster
than I must be a pearl.

Liberation struck me like a train,
abrupt, showing no mercy,
leaving the tracks a little messy.

Indulging someone else is going to feel
like conducting
after a life altering derailment.
Uncomfortable,
unsafe.

Nevertheless,
I'll bottle up my remedy,
with the intention of your freedom,
but with the hope
that you'll always remember
your Annabelle Lee.

Entire world heats up  .  .  .
No shows on saving humans,
  .  .  .  Reality TV.

There is a place in my head
That I go to hide
After my heart has bled
A place where I've cried

The place where I am known
Where I feel far away from pain
Somewhere I have grown
A place where I have lain

Motionless, for hours even
Hugging myself and dreaming on
Where I'm believed in
A place I can stay 'till dawn

Even longer if I need
There is no time there
I always feel freed
A place that a simple prayer

Seems to matter to someone
Instead of landing on closed ears
Getting away from the daily humdrum
A place to dry my tears

I want to be alone
Yet as I lay in this place?
Something needs to be known
As the tears run down my face

I need someone to be there
To love me, to hold me close
To be a breath of fresh air
In my lonely, lonely place...

We live in our corners
in our moments of existance
in our persistence of everyday word

But what would I give
for at this moment
to be dancing all alone with you

To hold you to my chest
as we sway listening
to the charms of the music

Under shooting stars
we make dearest our wishes
Oh ! how silly we are

And for a moment
to bend down to kiss
warm wet lips you have

How can your cheek
be so soft to my touch
I must claim this find as my own

Come dance in my arms
and kiss with your charms
as we simply float away
