Broken record
Dreaming on train tracks,
Try to chase the sound
Slow and easy, treading water now,
Drown

You never knew you let me down
Stop sulking up there
Wear your filthy crown

You cling to the beat of the drum
You're the bottom feeder, ****
And I bet you never had a thought of your own
They got you at gunpoint, run
Run, because you don't wanna get caught
Run because they want what you haven't bought

Snake eyes and a lethal smile
Poisoned heart, wishing you'd stay a while
I've lost you, you're somewhere between the needle and a hay pile

Dried up and *******
You never had a clue
I never thought
I'd be missing you
Theresa Marie Jul 2015
she swallows the ocean with hungry eyes
she simply can't bottle it beauty

overflowed pockets and scraped hands
picking up bits and shells each more lovely than the last

she looks to the unexplored
amazed and frowning

she just cant capture it all
Theresa Marie Jul 2015
I know this may sound silly to some,
But have you ever fell in love with a flower?
Growing in peculiar places,
harboring scents and catching colors.
And have you ever picked a flower?
I bet you picked the brightest flower,
and tore it from the soil
You carried the fragile soul in your hair.
With the growing time the flower
wilted, decayed and died in your arms.
*And with your eyes, you watched the magnificent destruction of  something so beautiful.

kissed the lips of a thousand bottles trying to forget the taste of you
Theresa Marie Jul 2015
You are everywhere at once and no where to be found
The months pass by and the song doesn't make the same sound
And I've got a couple things to say to you
Words that were lost in the storm

The sky never screamed so loud
And I'll never be one to make you proud

If I was the sleeping tiger
Then you poked me with a stick
Anger on a sunny day
My heart reaped fire and gasoline
I pour myself into a paper cup
The poison who laughs as you drink me up

You smothered the flame
Threw me away for fortune and fame
I feel your heart freeze the ice
Reminders of the damage done in my peripherals
You killed me sweetly with a smile
Dreamy summer night funerals

And cold humid hearts strummed along
Muggy lovers
Sticky fingers
Lustful perceptions

You threw me for a loop
Watch your step
Its a heart war, clear the battle field
Here lie the wounded troop
Theresa Marie Jul 2015
insomniac
couldn't sleep
but never stopped dreaming
Theresa Marie Jul 2015
A plethora of insecurities
Upon reality, you skinned your knees
Subtle words ignited the flame
A wild fire in my brain

Your sent engraved to my skin
Suffocating feelings, I've grown akin
And I lay
Rest my bones, stardust decay
