There was once a woman whose name was Doll
Who lived hidden in mountains because her stature was extremely small.
No one had heard her tiny voice
So she cried & cried with no other choice.
One lonely night she stole away with all her treasures
but in the morning the town found her dead
& shot her through the head just for good measures.

Remember that swan trapped in the ice?
How we helped set her free?
Some day, I hope someone
does that
for me

Sitting in a darkened room
Coloring shades of grey
Hiding eyes and covering walls
Bleeding lips and stains of lies

Silver rings glittering
Link by link
Chained to the misery
Holding on to the darkness

The spirit is shattered
Broken wings spilled around her
Dust covered memories
A bitter past and dying trees

The wounds have closed
The scars remain
Etches of echoes
A constant reminder

You could be free.

i packed up the city
into three boxes
and headed for
the suburbs
i'm trading street lamps
for christmas lights
and coffee for green tea,
lust for love and so on

i
think
i
must've
dropped
my
ambition
on its
head,
soon
after
its
birth
cause
it
tells
me
all
about
how
it's
gonna
grow
up
to
be
big
and
str...
but
it
falls
asleep
in
mid
sentence

Sometimes I wish
for a different place
where my memories
have been drained
you can tell my friends
and family it's better
where I am
wiped clean,
an empty
slate
.

I wasn't taking advantage of her vulnerability.
It certainly was not a pity ****.
She was crying, and clinging.
It was the only way I knew of
To make her feel good.
To give her a release.
Does that make me a good man?
What makes a man?
I don't know.

It is never an issue,
Until it is uttered out loud.
Now we both know
That she will open her legs before she opens her heart.
I'll told her that is stupid,
And that she is not stupid,
But still beautiful.
Does that make me a good man?
What makes a man?
I don't know.

I'd make her mine if I could.
As far as she's concerned,
She belongs to the weeds on her front lawn.
When she was five and three fourths she picked a dandelion,
And her father told her no matter how pretty it looks,
It will always be bad,
It will always be toxic inside
She never got over that.
So now she looks very pretty,
But she fills herself with ***** and ******* and all things
Toxic.

well I guess
that's the thing
about darkness,
it's not just part
of our surroundings
at midnight
on a tuesday
in the summer
or at 6 a.m
on a wednesday
in the winter.
it's more than that,
we can feel it
and sometimes it crawls
into bed with us
while we're staring
at the white walls
that cling to
old photographs
hung with tacs
of people who never
bother to call anymore
but then sometimes
it comes spiraling
toward us,
to knock the air
out of our lungs
and the wine glass
out of our hands
at 11:08 on a saturday
that's when it's hard,
when there are twenty
people smiling in a busy
room filled to the brim
with music and stories
and suddenly
all we can think to do is
stare down at our feet
and hope it'll leave us be
