At the crossroads
I made a deal with her
That If she saved me
I would give my life to her daily
She would become my prescription pills
As the deal was sealed
Taming my pain
As others were slain
In the sacrifice of her name
Poetic justice she exclaimed
She was beauty
A living symphony  
And I plague with devotion
To show I'm faithful and capable
I don't stop until my fingers bleed
She doesn't need anyone else but me
Writing scriptures
Until she had her fill
A slave to the pages
To satisfy her nonexistent cravings
I'd scribe to her till my dying days
Without her I'd go insane
She's all I have left
Poetry

Does thoughts of me rise like the morning sun
Does it set your heart on fire
Bright ember red as thoughts of me fill your head
Do you fall in a deep love all over again like someone cast a spell
Does your mind swell like a well Impaled
From the heavens letting go what they withheld
Or does hate perched on your frontal lobe come from behind its veil  
Does thoughts of me crush your soul
Do you become bitter and cold like steal pole in the winter snow
Have you put up safety nets
And when I'm brought up
Do you cast them back out to see
What do you feel when you think of me

Frog legs and boiled eggs
Hair from an ogre
A bone from a rats shoulder
Rabbits feet and a 1000 year old dragons teeth
I can smell the odor of what's brewing on the stove
Oozing from the crock ***
A potent potion
Made to bewitched with one sip
A touch of it on your lips
And you slip under its spell
Thoughts of your own expelled
As you fall deeper
From the concoction
Your world turned upside down
As your bound from this liquid drug
That gave you the case of the love bug  
Once you consumed the cursed beverage
You found love but not In the right way
And from the drink I took a sip
That you slipped infront of me

The memory is realer then you and me
And I know we hate to think about it
But I still remember
How we loved each other so freely
I still remember how carelessly with let ourselves go
You were mine and I was yours
If you were wounded and hurt
If it made you heal faster I'd lick your sores
I still remember how you would give anything to be with me
I can't forget
These memories are realer then you and me
And if thinking about it causes you pain
Just know I'm on that same train
I still remember the first time I said I loved you
I still remember that time i thought I'd lost you
Back then when things were simple and we were friends
But things change
I still remember on the phone I ask you to marry me
To my grave I'd take my love
To my grave I'll except your hate  
But if it's not to late
I hope you remember
I still love you

You can throw in the towel
Wave the white flag in your hand
Surrendering is your plan
Giving up cause you can
Buried the thought of us in the sand
When you finally walk away
I'll still be here standing
Fighting for you
Or is it out of pride that I can't have you
But I'm not through
Whenever you run out of breath I'll be the oxygen
The power when your lights go out
Even if you hate me
My love won't escape me
When your long gone
Still it will burn bright
Illuminating the night
I promised I'd fight
So I'm not through

It's hard to believe that she cares for me
The static in my head crackles loud
Her notions that she can be trusted gets muffled
I'm just a closed bottle
With this static noise inside louder then a throttle
Blasting like a jet engine
Whiles she's trying to get in
Everything she does is just diverted by the wind
That's howling
Twirling like a world wind
Blowing her away
Keeping the way she feels at bay
There's to much interference inside me
With all this static there's no way she can reach me

What lies in the dark
Is it remarkable like hidden treasure
Or will the discovered by devastating
Like famine spread upon a land
This mystery is like poetry played out with a mimes hand
What makes the dark so creepy
Is it scary how many secrets it can hold
Or how quickly it can consume
Take you whole
It's alive
And has a beating heart
There's only madness and suffering being pumped through its veins
But it's comforting
When the lights go out
No one can see what your hiding
