New Text Message; 3:03
New Text Message; 3:03,
read you wanted to see me,
but as you ****** me from behind,
my face was the last thing on your mind.

I know this is what I signed up for,
simply *** and nothing more,
but lately I've been feeling,
my pulse race in anticipation of our next meeting.

Realized I had it in for you bad,
when you mentioned how many other girls you had,
and I smiled, played along, and lied,
pretending you weren't the only guy of mine.

You don't even know the right thing to call me,
when you breathe "Madison" and not "Maddie",
I hate my name,
it's unfitting and plain.

Yet I discovered when your lips form those very sounds that I despise,
if just for a moment, there's nothing I'd rather go by.

To you it's just another night with another girl,
to me it's about more than the way my toes curl.
When you leave, the only thing I have to remember you by,
are your moans echoing in my ears and bruises on my thighs.

You said "this is the best view in the world, I could ******* forever",
like I was the only one who could bring you pleasure,
but I'm aware if it came down to it,
you wouldn't know if my eyes are green or sort of blue-ish.

The sad thing is I'm hanging on to every moment,
I have with you waiting to one day find my spirit broken.

Orchestrated Madness
The rain it sounds,
like a great drum pouning.
Thunder growling,
like a trumpet sounding.
The wind is howling,
the skies are clouding,
the people shouting,
awlays doubting.

The heavens pouting,
pouring rain.
Then calm.
He raises up his palm,
blood rushing through his vain.
The world stops,
and jaws drop,
the monstrous storm is slain.

The sun shines through.
The skies are blue.
Grass sparkles with thin dew,
as everything starts anew.

WWIII
More.
War.
It's all I've ever known.
Out here struggling on my own.
Each day is a fight to survive.
Each hour passing with this gift of life.

Tears.
Appear.
Falling to my shirt.
Uncover my face to expose the hurt.
Done begging for your approval.
I'm here to instate your removal.

You.
Threw.
Everything you had at me.
Both figurative and literally.
Now I'll try to say this pleasantly.
Get the hell out, I'll count to three.

The Creature; "What If"
Sleepless and thoughtful
I can't stop thinking of you
The question of what if creeps through
The darkest shadows of my mind
Slinking through cobwebs
Peeking round corners
It pushes its way forward
Slowly making it through
To front and center stage
It sheds its worn cloak
Dust flies through the light
Showering other thoughts with filth
What If's eyes shine
It begins to dance
Throwing its arms up
Causing a scene
All eyes on it
No use trying to hide
Or to even deny
That What If fills my mind.
Broken street lights
Dim against the black of night
Cast shadows on the wall behind us
The red brick smolders from the heat between you and I
Clothes soaked from the summer rain
Laughing we lay down on the empty road
Where only the memories of cars drive by
Hands intertwined
We look to the stars above
And watch as the world goes by
The sound of two breathing as one fills our ears
My head on your chest
The beating of your heart echoes mine
Hanging onto the shadows of yesterday’s youth
Not yet ready to face the consequences
Let us once again feel alive

Being Human
I know what it is, but not what it means
Come closer children I’ve seen the light
Between the lines
Scattered across the page
The glare is blinding how could we have missed it before?
That flash of truth
That spark of inspiration
Enlightened and free to spread
That glimmer of hope
To those desperate and needy
To those with nothing more
Than the ideas floating aimlessly round their heads
Broken and forgotten
They creep through shadows
Sleep in rubble
But what can we do?
Find it
Find the will to survive
Find the fight deep inside
Find our humanity
And make it a reality
We are all animals
Untamed beasts driven by desire
Subconsciously drifting
Aimlessly wandering
The brevity of our condition is all too apparent
Control the creature inside
Show it compassion and love like it’s never known
We are human
We are alive
We are free
To decide
To think
To scheme
To scream
To make war
To make love
We are capable of such beautiful things
Step forth from the shadows
You are here you are alive
Hold your head up high
And let the light shine.

Race. Human Race.
In this haze of modern delusion,
fights over black, white, or fusion,
what's important is you're losing,
sight of what it means to be human.

Pity The Fool
Who are you that I am so unworthy of your time?
Or simply of your glance?
I pity you
And your foolish pride

I pity the weak
I pity the poor
I pity you
And your foolish pride

I pity those too far gone to see the damage they’ve done
To see the bridges they’ve burned
On which they can never return
I pity you
And your foolish pride
I pity you.

Naked Truth
Standing alone as the wind whips my face
Leave me be I'm happy in this place.

Lie.

Silent tortures haunt my soul
Wicked beauties you'll never know.

Naked truth.

Naive or Care Free?
We're still climbing up the same **** wall,
bracing ourselves for the inevitable fall,
ignoring the chance of losing it all.

Within
Eyes eventually tell everything that man had hoped to hide.

Franticly evading telling the truth that torments and tempts to break free, man forever fights to keep the fierce feverish fire, inside his fragile existence, cooled and contained.

Reluctantly reconciling rash reasonings riotously retained and rightfully remembered he realizes no room remains for remorse or regret.

Had warnings been headed, harsh words and heated discussions would have ceased to have been carelessly created to counter the creeping crawling suspicions cornered within.

Silence
Silence
slipped between
the screen of sense and reason,
seductively sharing secrets
stored deep within
the soul.
Come with me; take a walk on the wild side,
Let me show you what life’s like through my eyes.

Leather and lace cover bumps and bruises
Scars and stories only leave you clueless

Under long sleeves, I cut, I’m bleeding
What kind of life do I think I’m leading?

You think you’re tough, baby you’re not prepared
Come take a walk with me, unless you’re scared.
"Tell it to your pillow honey, no one cares for your sob story."
So I do.
But my words come out mangeled,
Twisted up and tangeled.
I want you to understand,
To show you what I've done,
To know what I 've overcome,
The most trivial things,
And my greatest feats.
But you've gone and met your end,
You'll never hear again.
Now this pillow is my only friend.

*...*...*...*
Soft light filters
through curtains
drawn across grey skies
as they pour
on the shingled roof
under which I lie
listening to white noise
I swear could be your voice
sinking deeper in
to sheets so smooth they could be your skin.

Reassured Doubt
Your intentions are clear
and there's no need to fear

Because I can see clear
what you're doing here

You want me to feel bad for you?
Well what happened when I needed you?

The truths behind your forced lies
become all too clear in my eyes

The one person you're desperate to fool
is the one person who can see straight through

Enough is enough I'm walking out.
and leaving you with your ever present doubt.

Taking The Club By Storm
The chorus
And the rhythm
Listen to the rain fall
All through the
Night
The wind
Whistling to the
Tune of the brewing storm
All through the
Night
The bass
Of thunder
Thumping rumbling
All through the
Night
The lights
The flashing
The strobe-ing of lightning
All through the
Night

Your Nameless Nothing.
"Hey what's up? How are you?"
"I don't know, just a little tired of being used."

...for the conversation
...for the ***
...for the sake of having friends

I'm just a body to hold
and a number to call
I'm nobody, nobody at all.

Sip of Holy Fire
Hate,
It's as clear as a sign on an iron gate.
It paints the faces of those who embrace it,
And follows those who don't.
It burns down bridges and severs connections,
Costing those for who you had affection.
It fills the heart and blackens the mind.
Once it takes you, you're hard to find.
Balled up fists,
A world of dark mist,
Living on the edge.
You are consumer by this,
Your ever growing list...
But it's too late for you now,
You've already said your unholy vows.
587 · Jun 2012
Dear Dad,
You have his eyes, his temper too.
I don't think you realize he's here, in you.
You promised that you wouldn't be him,
But you know what they say; you can't always win.

You said that he was the one sole reason,
That your childhood was lost, was broken.

I can't believe it was all that bad,
He was after all your idol, your dad

But when you find yourself lost in rage,
You bring more than you into this war you wage.

It's like you become a whole other person,
And now it's me, the one that's hurting.
I promise myself I won't be like you,
But you know what they say; not everything's true.

Water Blue
So I got to see the ocean,
You always kept me locked away,
But I got to see the ocean,
He showed me just today.

It’s dangerous and dark,
Just like you said to me,
But so beautiful and strong,
Things you said I’d never be.

So when I got to see the ocean,
Never thought I’d find myself there too,
Now I’ll go to see the ocean,
To wash my body clean of you.
583 · Dec 2014
>impasse<
Your hands wrapped around my neck so tight,
left me gasping for air,
but when I looked down I saw,
mine were the ones keeping them there.

Scars
Scars are simply small reminders
That you are alive
And you will survive.
You say you don't sleep
you say you won't eat
you say many more things
that bring tears to my eyes.

I see you sliiping away
silent and fast
and I don't even know
who you are any more
or how long you'll last

But that's not what concerns me

It's that I can't seem to reach you

Far off
in your distant world

To give you advice
to help you see clear
that you are still here
that you can still live

You've already accepted
your impossible fate

I'm affraid I'm too late
to make a difference here

So I let you go
I watch as you die

Darling spread your white wings
and fly my friend

Fly.

A Lifetime
A lifetime to fix it
A lifetime
That's what it'd take
To go back and fix them
All those stupid mistakes
That we've ever made
Sometime or another
Along the way.

A lifetime to change it
A lifetime
That's what I'd need
To go back and change things
To make sure that we'd
Never have to doubt
The things we were doing
And what we were all about.

Purple
Loving you
Is leaving me black and blue
Instead of pretty things
You leave me purple rings
Impressions on my skin
Reminders of where you've been
546 · Oct 2012
Sorry I'm Not Sorry.
Sorry if you failed to see
That what you have isn’t what I need.

I just don’t care about you anymore
Walk your sorry *** through that door.
Standing on the edge of the world
Wind rushing through my hair
I lift up my arms
And cry out to the emptiness before me

The nothingness calls back
My name carried on the breeze
A blatant reminder of the humanity I’ve left far behind

One step further is all it would take
To leave the familiar for good
To fall endlessly into the lonely abyss

Turning a cold shoulder
Closing my eyes
I make my move
One great leap

The blackness consumes me
Swallows me whole
The wind picks back up
A spins me around

I open my eyes
Only to find
I’m sitting on that ledge
Legs swinging in the breeze

Squaring my shoulders
Back facing the wind
I let out a sigh
And a shout of frustration

The world refuses still to let me go
So here I remain
Conscious and pensive
Waiting for my moment
Biding my time.

The Black Fly
The black fly sits on the windowsill
His small wings buzz and invite me close
He patiently waits to see if I will.

He tells me things that I shouldn't know
Forbidden secrets from long ago.

He flies around and lands on the screen
Paints a picture not meant to be seen.

Attention drawn to crumpled pages
He rolls in ink and writes for ages.

Expecting to see nothing left bare
I find only one word written there.

The fly had written just one word"Dream"
If he had left me with nothing more
It's that things aren't always as they seem.

Nothing can be again quite as it was before
like my thoughts after seeing you lying on the floor
passed out in puddles of **** and *****

Took care of you all night long it's
a shame the things I told you, you'll never remember
or maybe you do and it's easier to play the pretender.

Acting like nothing had happened
protecting your pride
but it speaks volumes that you can't or won't look in my eyes.

We'll never be anything, expect for that night
when I said I loved you, and you said "alright".
514 · Oct 2012
I don't know about you...
I mean I had a good time
From the slow sips of white wine
To the liquor shots all in a line
I’ll be here doing just fine.

Soft As Butterfly Kisses
Tear stained eyes
Watch as their dream dies
A wasted life passes
Fallen eyelashes
Soft as butterfly kisses
Collect them all and make your wishes.

Last Chance Calling
Is it true that you don't always know
what you've got
till it's gone?

'Cause I know what I have
has been right here
by my side
all along.

You say life's been cruel to you
knocked you down
and kicked you
then never came back around.

Well I say stop being the victim
get back up
hold your ground.

There are a lot of people rooting for you
to make it through
I hope you know.

Hope it's not too late
hope you choose to partake
in this life you have.

Don't let hard times make you hang your head
this is not
what you had planned
what you wanted.

Look at me you're better than this
this helplessness
is foolishness.

Now come on I've had enough
stand up up up
last chance calling
make it count
make it yours.
502 · Oct 2012
Seeing You
Seeing you happy with her
It kills me inside
But I don’t dare say a word
Behind this smile I hide
Shattered, battered, broken, and bruised
Toyed with, strung along, worn out, and used.

Wanna Be Your "One" Tonight
You smile your hellos,
you don't really mean it,
you were just raised polite.

I watch, and there it goes,
that chance that I'll never get,
to be your "one" tonight.

But I just want to know,
is it even worth it,
to turn around and fight?

It's like I'm so close
to just calling it quits.
That is what you want, right?

Dressed with ribbons and bows,
your appology's ****.
Change your mind and I might,

Kiss you from head to toe,
whatever you see fit,
just make me feel alright.

Dancing For A Crowd Of One
Dancing for a crowd of one
Applause erupts for all you've done

The neon lights
Burn through your mask tied on tight

Across an empty stage, you spin round and round
Your thinly shrouded lies crumble to the ground

Refusing to let go of the facade
You've so carefuly created
Even as echoes of applause
Begin to sound so faded

But now I say "Step down."
And "Take your humble bows."

Left To Be Desired
You come off as an absolute mystery
No past, no present, you've clearded your history
You wear your suit and cool demeanor
You've caught her eye, no plans to free her.

The light dims on your conversation
But on your face shines indignation
Brutal lover, no heart to break
Driven under make no mistake.
The painted sunrise
of new beginnings
washes away fears and doubts
from yesterday's fight to survive.
Every day's a battle
but it's only one small part of the war.

Done It All
You just heard a million cheers.
You cried through a thousand tears.
You fought off a hundred fears.
You have done it all this year.
Words can not describe
What the thought of you does to my mind
To put it simply you make me feel like

Just Let Me Believe
I just want to feel the heat
of
you next to me

Hold me even closer
and
tell me a lie

Something so beautiful
that
I'll have no choice

But to trust in your words
and
forever dream

Lul me to sleep
Make me concede
Don't let this stop

I want you to be here
stay
infinitely

If only for tonight
just
let me believe.

There's nothing you can say or do
Convinced I'm as ****** up as you
Have no idea what it's like inside
These four walls that I call my mind
I wish I didn't, if only I could
But god it just, hurts so good
Maybe this is how life goes
Maybe I'm just the last to know.
