as the acid runs down my face
out of my eyes
I feel it all across my cheeks
leaving burn marks
where it touched my skin
most people
would hate the feeling of this
but for me
it's normal
I'm used to it
I like it
no..
I love it
I love the feeling
as the acid burns my cheeks
it makes me forget
how much I miss you
it takes that pain away just for a bit
but yet I still think about you
I think about us
our love
our hopes
our dreams
I never thought
I would see you go
or ever have to miss you
but I do
every drop of that acid
represents you
and all your memories
and tonight
that acid pours out

[bnm]
you became a ghost the day
you let go of all that was left
and filled the void with
a more shallow hole than the one
that deprived the love
you could not hold onto
the distance between life and death
grew to be
a walking advantage for yourself
and seemingly you were okay with that
I watched you drift away
trying to hold onto what remains
but you slowly fell out of grip
and I found myself lying on the ground
where you last took a real breath
long before anxiety took over
and your chest caved within
a time before our love destroyed
who we were
and who together we shall be
but now your soul still lingers
around the room our relationship grew upon
keeping temperatures cold
and always reminding me
our love was worth the pain I feel tonight
don't cry,darling
say what you need to say
it's okay
if you hurt them back
I'll hold you up
when the world's overwhelming you
you don't need to know how
to deal with this
because I'll teach you
to fly away
from your troubles
you'll grow silver wings
like mine
and
we'll glide
                away
                          together.

I'll protect you from all harm
and grant your vengeful wishes
because I was once like you,
alone in the world
wanting to
strike back,
wanting to fly away.

Everyone needs a guardian,
for the world is
a cruel place.
Not with a blade
Nor with blood on my hands
But with wisdom
And compassion
May I be tyranny’s end

With poetry and prose
With the ink and the rose
With an inkling to know
Just and unjust
Right from wrong
May I be tyranny’s end

With love
Not a bullet
No bombs to blow through it
No glass shattered or metal disfigured
This is what I figured
May a revolution of words
Be tyranny’s end
" I've been busy"
sleeping,drinking,smoking
its a routine
thats implanted into my blood
everyday is beautiful,
but everyday I'm dead
walking  through everyones eyes
no one sees me
no one knows me
but every one hates me

her touch
that i know so well
brings me to life
with her smile
that rhymes her clear eyes
her clear eyes
her blue eyes
oh i know what makes me move on

his voice i know so well
his laughter that makes me cry
a friend who's become my brother
reminds me of my father
when i see him looking out the trains window
with sadness lingering down  his eyes
oh i know  what makes me move on

with every one laughing behind  there emotions
i lay there staring
with smoke in my eyes
oh I've gone blind
and no one yells
out for me
I'm falling through
my beds mattress
searching for comfort i cannot find

oh you know what i feel
but you still have the guts
to cut me up
you know what i say
but you still have the nerve
to take what i say away from me

no more please
let me melt
let me die
through your skin
cause your the only one
that makes me warm
forever
When I have fallen,
When I have hit rock bottom,
I need it to be
Your fire
That guides me,
That leads me,
Out of the chasm
Of my own darkness
Tall as a ladder
Rungs of the brave
Stood like a Krishna
Words on parade
Angels with messages
Dreams in the sky
Imagine the state
Neural chemical high

It was the cool nights
Glow from the moon
All of the torch lights
Waiting for June
The magic of silence
An itch in an ear
Awaiting the whisper
   Year after year...

Flowing with words
From your heart

A true meaning of life
Is sometimes without words

This could be easy
or
This could be hard

It could be your feelings  
without any words

we sometimes try to write it
but can’t find the words

It is your feelings
So let them be heard
My journey from somewhere to nowhere.
With nothing beneith my feet.

As the journey ends, within my head.
My feelings of solitude are gone from my head.

As light leads me from my destiny within.
My eyes have finnaly opened and my dreams now begin.

With my past as my guide, from my feelings within.
My heart has now taken over, as my true life begins.
