lips that pour lies like wine
yet bittersweet, truly divine
hearts that cage love like birds
in nothingness where they lurk
fingers reaching cold as ice
playing life by rolling dice
and promises uttered like a truth
of tiny fairies collecting a tooth

- - -

estranged without a distance
nostalgic for the nonexistent
nightmares in the morning
and a sky beneath the sea
break out of this freedom
and return to imprisonment
where a book with missing pages
waits in a room with no walls

- - -

she's fallen for a liar
she's walking on thin wire
yet she tries to reach up higher
her steel courage you admire
you've seen her braving fire
from december to december
so why don't you spare a thought for her
and give in to desire?

- - -

dreams with blistered fingertips
and a marathon without an end
the sweetness of crushed grapes on lips
or knights with no one to defend
i see an eye with euphoria ripped
from an empty soul unworthy to mend
from the moment the hourglass flips
my sanity drowns in the trickling sand

- - -

slip the needle into my vein
i'd close my eyes and let you reign
the cool of metal etched between
a pain more delicious than sin
inject the cyanide dose by dose
remember the highs and lows
and with a smile i'd beckon you near
i'd use my last breath to call you "dear"

- - -

perhaps due to the insignificance
of my fluctuating existence
it seemed harder to return your love;
to shower you with what you deserve
and though for us the stars won't align
my destiny is yours as yours is mine
till our moons crumble inexorably to dust
our splintered hearts wander the Milky way
blindly, aimlessly proving fate just
right up to the point of impending decay

- - -

we fill ourselves with each other
and as we drown utter curses between us
we push each other away further
and lament of distance and of trust
we slash our wrists in muted pleasure
and despair of blades that rust
still we cling so desperately to forever
to a love that will never last

- - -

it didn’t use to be like this
with nights rolling into morning
with sadness waiting in the dark
with thoughts that don’t stop
and only the moon for company

no

a happy girl used to fall asleep at 10 o’clock
every night
because that’s what daddy wanted
and she wasn’t going to disobey
afterall she was daddy’s little girl

but

daddy’s gone now
and that was all before you
you with your charm
and kindness
and the ability to make sad days better

so

now i sit in the dark
unable to fall asleep before 3 a.m
because you are on my mind
because you are my
