We all have demons,
Some more than others.
We hold them back,
In fear of what they might do.

They live inside,
Scrapping at the organs.
They build a nest of despair.

They scrape together broken dreams and heartbreak,
To feed to their young,
So they will grow up to be strong.
And with this strength they will rip your life apart

But I won't let this happen to me.
**Will you?

Goodbye my friend,
I'll see you soon.
We'll hug like we used to,
Under the moon

But if you were to say,
That we are done,
I'll be on my own,
*Under the sun

My brush, the sword.
My canvas, the enemy.

I unsheathe my sword and raise it to your throat,
I hold it there for too long, maybe to boast.
Then I swipe across your neck, leaving my mark,
I would feel guilty,
But nobody judges an artist in the park.

I see you across the room,
You look back at me and smile,
It probably means nothing,
But I love it for a while.

I wonder if you like me,
But then I wonder why you would,
If you were to say you like me,
You would hear my heart go thud.

I here from your friend you adore me,
So I bring flowers to your door,
And that's when your words **** me,
You say it is friendship... nothing more.

If I was sad, you were happy,
But if you were sad, then so was I.

I wish it turned out as I hoped,
But such fiction would be a **lullaby

When I look at you,
It's like looking at a tulip on a rose bush.

When I talk to you,
It's like hearing a puppy purr.

When I hug you,
It's like hugging a soft, warm cactus.

And when I kiss you,
It's like kissing a pleasant wasp's sting.

You are the confusion that is love,
You are my tulip on the rose bush.
