The trees were stretched tall reaching for a sky that they could never touch .
Holding onto memories
Footsteps along pathways through deep forests
What lurks within your darkened mind I wonder ?
May I hid within your brokenness
Until the Phoenix in me surrenders to the fire that lies at the base of my being?
May I curl myself around you in the darkness of the night whilst my soul sleeps , my heart yearns and my body unwinds ?
It feels so warm here
I love that you just accept all my flaws and only see the beauty within.
I love the darkness and the night that holds us together
Two lost souls floating in a sea of wonders waiting to be found.

The left-over warmth from the burning fire,
Embers settle into the charred earth,
In the tender decay of the dying hearth,
They say that I'll soon begin to tire,
But I tell 'em that I'm just getting started.

Until I need to crumble,
I'll stay in your prefrontal,
Until I get into trouble,
I'll let the thunder rumble.

Where’s the barbed wire I want to tie up your limbs, squeeze till it turns blue and slit open your wrists.
Rip out your veins and shove them in your mouth.
Rip out your tongue like you’re rotting in hell.
Nail your eyeballs into the socket, sew your lips together, cut them off and put them in your pocket.
Get a tile cutter to split apart your feet to your knees,
Get a sledgehammer to shatter your femur because you’ve already brought me to my knees.
Set you ablaze for all of this torment.
You all ****** me over before everyone was for it.
So excuse me for wanting to get revenge.
But you can’t expect to torture someone their whole existence and for them to not turn out like this.

(Directed at the masquerade or whoever the hell is out to get me. Awesome.)
Today is a
perfect
sunny and
75.

Today
was a
great day
to be
alive.

The river
sparkled like
sparklers
on a
4th of July
night.

Her on
my arm
that felt
oh so right.

Others
walk by
and admire
our love.

She is
perfection
sent from
Heaven above.

The soft
river's breeze
made love
to her hair.

I just stood
back and
took in the
beauty that
was standing
in front
of me
there.

Sunny
and 75.
