too young to be this cold
left at the mercy of old
streets and tired eyes
acid rain from angry skies
pours like helpless tears
on those whose years
are doomed and counted
whose dreams are haunted
by the lives they once had
before they got this sad
sleeping on the slippery floor
as hope walks out the door
Liar, liar
An acquired taste
Your mouth is fire
Your past a disgrace

Liar, liar
I trust only you
Your story I admire
And your lies, too

Runner, runner
You'll do as I say

With a beautiful, poisoned arrow
And so you think you’re in love
But then the potion wears off
And you’re bleeding out
Of that open wound
Left unattended
That you call
A broken
Heart
what is life
but a field of flowers
that you pick and you pick
some last and some wilt
and when only a daisy is left
as its petals slowly fall,
one by one, you wonder
'did I love, or did I not'
until you finally fall asleep
surrounded by all the flowers
that you caught
