Promises are lies
They're never guaranteed
Because
Promises are never... promised.
But somehow, we still choose to believe in them
Because it's the only thing we can hold onto
That gives us a small ray of hope
That promises made
Will be promises kept.

What if humans didn't have eyebrows
Would we all just hide out
Or would we spend our nights out,
because monsters should not be seen in daylight
and the moon is always in our favour.
We're werewolves and vampires,
And the blue skies lit by the sun
did not belong to us.

We are monsters after all, and daylight
meant exposing ourselves to ridicule and judgement,
as though we could never find beauty in simple;
it is perfect circled smiles with dimples
that were considered cute, and the larger angles
were obtuse while the smaller are acute.

We label it 'fashion statement'
it is make-up on faces,
constant changing tastes,
just to fit in with the popular.
The masses, the larger groups;
always stuck on "what is the latest scoop"
as though life was one big cone of ice cream.


We've been in and out before
We've been through open doors,
We've built buildings
To create ceilings.
Just to keep monsters
and the less popular,
inside.
Stuck between being buried six feet under
and the ceiling.

I knew a girl once
Pure to the pinch of a petal
But lust filled fiends found her
Unfazed to the thought of intimacy
and so distorted intimacy to twisted turns
claiming her sweet nectar as she lay unawake.

I knew a girl once
Pure to the pinch of a petal... no more.
...
Pure to the pinch of a petal;
the twisted turns did burn
and the ashes and embers cast away
into the winds as though no fault to find,
I knew a girl once
who knew of the world;
I knew a girl once
who knew of the future;
I knew a girl once
who smiled a slanted smile;
I knew a girl once
...But not anymore, do I know her.

May god find her the peace she never found.

I want to think that love is more than skin
As has always been my problem
I know you now
Like I knew you then
I loved you
The unloved
I've heard the song the doves cry
I've watch the clouds float swiftly by
And not a face I saw
No heaven above us all
I love you now
Like I loved you then
It's my hands
No longer touch you
It's my dreams
No longer reach you
Its my heart
No longer beating
To the rhythm of a drum
I hope that time cannot stop me
And that I make believe the truth
I feel it now

I feel it now
Like I felt it when
Your lips were artist's hands
And each color was a song
And you would say you loved me
The way that I love you
I feel it now
How it is to be on the outside
Cold and alone


It's my home
I must move on from
Its my bed
I cannot sleep
Its my heart
Now slowly beating
Now steady pounding my unease
An empty song into my brain
I hope that time is repeating
Because I see my future's pain
But I grow to doubt that I will ever know
Of joy in life again

I loved you

At the end of the night
He held my hands
He looked deep into my eyes
And outside his car under the moonlight

He said, "I love you."

I was shocked, surprised even
I had no words, I was speechless
He was a person I did not want to lose
But my heart began to melt, because as I looked down at my shoes

I realized I couldn't say those three words back

He already forgot me
It's time I do the same

I thought I was trying to find reasons
to keep loving you
But I guess I really was trying to find reasons
to walk away.
