Let's get drunk on cough medicine under the shattered stars
of our scattered hopes and dreams in the midnight sky,
get high on sugar like little children; out of control
and  straight  into  absolute  madness,
pop some sleeping pills and sleep
like there's no tomorrow
because when tomorrow comes it'll be all gone to waste and we'll be left with nothing but regrets and a whole lot of pain
It sounds a little childish but that's the point of it.
A kid who's almost a teenager would probably do that.

Can someone please explain,
why do we mix pleasure with pain?
why do we love having Jack with *******?
why do we always crave taking it in the vein?

Oh please, do explain
why is this world so vain?
why run around in this so-called lane?
why can't we wash up all our sins and guilts in rain?

Now do tell me,
what it takes to be insane
please don't tell me,
that it takes two bottles of champagne
Title was chosen by Brycical.
If only you could see what you mean to me
Because this innocence you took away will forever haunt you.

A holiday kiss, from an old fashioned girl.

inspired by an Old Custom...
For each kiss beneath the mistletoe,
you should discard one of the berries.

Sweet, eh x

In a tiny church with an overlarge steeple
I opened the doors to see all the people
A little girl stood there and sang about god
and all the sheep stared, shocked and awed
As the tears rolled down her rosy red cheek,
each one symbolizing another week
A week of havoc, pain and circular gain,
we live in a world that knows no blame
I stared at her focusing on innocent eyes,
her naivety made them so big and so wise
She looked at the crowd, they were hungry for more,
she thought of her sister, shunned for being a *****
If we are his children and all loved the same
how come people live life with no name?
How come I have the world in my palms
when girls with my birthday are running from bombs?
Her answers will go unanswered forever,
she will be called a fool for being so clever
Dear god you are supposed to show us the answers,
but our youth sees only society's best cancers
How can a little girl have faith in your craze,
when she sees people hungry, day into days
So you see dear lord I don't really believe,
all these people need to rise up from their knees
Stop praying for someone to change your fate,
and do it yourself, open your own gate
Love thy neighbour and to ones own self be true
but don't do it for him, do it for you.
You want her body not her heart
You want her passion not her love
You want to own her and control her
You want her but you don't want to be hers

Boy,
you got her so conflicted
lost within your games she's addicted
to this pleasure she never predicted  
and a pain so deep only you afflicted

Boy,
tell me why so selfish?
making her feel oh, so reckless
taking all she got then leaving her feeling helpless
with agony and endless nights of terror my god she's restless
you gave her nothing but regrets how could you be so senseless?

Boy,
I can see that you can't control what you want
I can see that you're blinded by what you want
I can see that you always have to get what you want
I
can
see
that
you
won't
give
a
****
about
what
you
don't
want
but
please,
I
beg
of
you
don't
destroy
what
you
have
to
get
what
you
want
but
don't
need
&
don't
destroy
what's
left
of
her
scattered
to
pieces
so
called
heart
