I've bound them tight
These raw wounds
I've wrapped the linen round
The flesh sewn

For a moment
I am clean, the cloth white
But then the blood seeps
Red and pushing right, through

I've bound them to hold in tight
The anger and my fright
I put the layers on to tend
The cruelties of my once friend

You are just a person now
Once I used to know
Another once
Now only for show

One day these wounds will heal
I know, the scars I will be left to bare
To remind me of how
You had ceased to care

Why don't I know better?

Incredible naivety and everything it entails
An animal trapped in by pressing rails
Stupid, if it wasn't known better
Don't want to send a ******* letter
Screaming- it isn't real
If I'm the only one who would feel- it
Perspire the disappointment, and misery and sadness
Stay awake for the lack of here and now- repress
it all, and go mad
wearing nothing,
just to feel
to be as cold as it
to conceal
this ordeal
and all that isn't real

Rhymy slimy

A blinding light in the dark
The one to flare my single spark
The sweetest to my heart
The one that fills the largest part
A puzzle when first met
A heavy, weighty bet
Many moments pass
Waiting to amass
The pieces to direct me
To realize the need be
Filled, cause it was planted
All I ever wanted
To know who
The one

You

****** finger.

I cannot stop you from
Slicing through the flesh
To bring searing the pain
When time slips the knife
Let that throbbing life remain

Why can't I; I thought you believed me.

Why can't I simply close my eyes and forget
Of this day and all of the rest that don't matter
Of the ones that do that I don't want to have

Why can't I simply shut out what was said
That night with hot resin and bathroom soap
Those shaking sobs against my car door

Why can't I simply forget what you used to mean
When I was younger and in adoration of you
When I thought you believed me

I recorded this into a song. If you are interested in checking it out go here:

Mine Meeting Yours; Lapse Of An Embrace.

push past the hours to find mine meeting yours
working with muscles that are too sore
waiting for the month to turn
because I yearn
for you

releasing my tethers to a place I don't belong
feeling the tension pulling from inside
watching for the opposition
because you'd think
they'd try

hoping for the beginning of true contentment
dreaming of life the way it should be
happy for this changing
because it's what
I need

I measure my days by the lapse of our embraces
In the hours away from your smiling kisses
In the minutes I don't hear your true voice
I am moving forward from my past
to find a future
with you

Oh dear boy, won't you be my man?

I wish that I could write you something that would say
I've never felt this way about anyone else

That I could see you and me clasping each others hands
and making plans for the long run

Oh dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

And so when I ask you to be mine
I mean for all time, I do, do you?

That I want to wake every morning entwined
with your legs and arms and lips, I wouldn't mind

Oh dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

Can we pretend we're in ireland
on the 29th of february

So that I could go down on one knee
and ask you my sweet boy to marry me

Please dear boy
wont you be my man
wont you be my man
wont you be?

Wont you please
marry me...
