Sad
i said i am okay
but my heart was crying river of tears

i lied
and forgot my eyes already told the truth
Very broken in a way which I no longer know how to feel. Am feeling sad and that's not the way I want to feel but the joy present can't shine through the dark clouds of sadness

Growing up you're always taught the dangers of substance abuse

but no one warns you of experimenting with love

On my way to hell
Got nothing but my soul to sell
I know where I’ve been
Forgive me for all my sin
Bring me down, down to the ground
Can you feel the fire
It burns deep inside
Twisting, turning, like an unforgiving tide
She bleeds so pure, as she’s falling to the floor
It’s over, it’s done
Gone forever more

The Lonely Poet
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
But not as sweet as you.

Ring around the rosy,
Pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes,
We all fall down.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You took my heart,
And you tore it in two.

Ring around the rosy,
Pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes,
We all fall down.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My words may create,
But I can't erase you.

Ring around the rosie,
Pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes,
We all fall down.

Ashes, ashes.
We all fall down.

Ashes, ashes,

We
All
Fall
Down.

time will heal
and silently
collect the scars
that are
meant to be
left in the past

after all
love
simply isn't enough
to make us last.
to her, the one who got away

i divorced myself
she took the child, the tulips
and me—she took me
outside, the city weeps

i am so desperate for his affection
that if he held out a cup of poison
i would've accepted it with glee
convincing myself the burn it left
was his dose of warmth for me
