Like a moth to a flame
You reduced me to ash,
Singed these already broken wings,
And at my wounds your flames did lash

I was captivated by your danger
Senseless from your beauty
I only wanted to touch and feel
And so your inferno left my heart sooty

Enticed by your primal heat
I was seduced by the warmth of you
And so I was scorched in defeat
As my wants took over my needs

Ready to burn down whatever crossed your path
You were a raging inferno
I a single moth defenseless in your wrath
Drawn to you by your impassioned thermo

Once upon a fairy time,
I was yours and you where mine,
Once upon a eerie time,
I was hurt and were fine,

Once upon a distant past,
I cried hard and you ran fast,
Once upon a nearer now,
Will I ever love again?
Today and how?

Once upon a then and there,
I believed in you and that you cared,
Once upon a here and now,
I want to love him but my heart knows not how,

Once upon a pain so gone,
You took my faith with all your wrong,
Once upon a love anew,
Is he true or another you?

Once upon a gone and done,
Your love so true our stories pun,
Once upon a stories beginning,
From him my hearts doorbell is ringing,

Once upon it all gone bad,
You left me broken, hurt and sad,
Once upon a day anew,
Could he be all thats true,

Once upon it all dead and gone,
I’m falling again after pain too long.

With every chance I take,
My ignorance of you I fake,
They say to be seen,
One must remain un-keen,

And so every day I dote upon you in silence,
And you to my theory I only receive defiance,

Am I so transparent?
That you see through these ways,
Is it my make believe so apparent,
That your mind never in my direction sways,

Or is that I blend in,
And my ignorance of you,
Just wears my invisibility even more thin,
I remain known and never noticed as new,

I remain here,
But I remain the quiet ******* her own,
I remain visible to those who’ve chosen me dear,
But as your company I leave you as alone,

Am I so see through and so blurred?
So Unnoticeable and just not there?
am I just never heard?
Or is it that you just don’t care.

Is that I am nothing more?
As that quiet girl you’ll never adore,
Is it that I’m nothing less?
Just that girl below your best,

Is it that I am only me?
Nothing else to dote,
And nothing more to see,
Is that your name I can’t promote?

I blame my tongue,
My heart so stung,
But more I blame is you,
Because there’s only so much one can do.

Tears streaming like a rainy day,
A little boy broken,
Had nothing to say,
Went to his mother with words unspoken,
“mommy.”
The boy sobbed,

The mothers heart stopped,
“My angel what’s wrong”
She grabbed her son,
“Mommy I can’t do it,
Can’t take it,
It’s too hard to stay strong.”

“Darling be more clear?”
She worried for something all mothers fear.
“Mommy it’s the bigger boys.”
He fiddled with his teddy toy.
“They say nasty things,
Things that sting,
And sometimes they hit me,
But I won’t hit back you see,
Mommy you taught me never to fight,
So why do those boys think its right.”

“My darling
My dear,
Of our world you must hear,
Never too young,
To learn of its wrong,
Never too small,
To hit that wall.
These boy’s they are bullies,
Mean, rowdy and rude,
They wish into your happiness to intrude.”
“But mommy,
But why?
Why make me cry?
Mommy I won’t lie,
Some days I just want to die,

Mommy I want to run,
So far away,
Just to keep those mean boys at bay,
Take my own life,
Its getting harder,
And they’re hurting me mommy,
Further and further.”

“My sweet heart,
My dear,
Listen here,
You got to take life by the horns,
Never can you mourn,

Never give in,
And never give up,
You can cry,
But be prepared to mop it up,

Mommy wishes it where a fairytale,
Of happily ever afters,
And I wish for you my boy,
That life could only be full of laughter,

But my dear little love,
Your feathers are still white as a dove,
They only now are being ruffled,
Because of life’s ever scuffle,

My boy stay strong,
It won’t be too long,
Forever not always as it seems,
And so you’ll find forever’s a flawed dream,

Today may be masked in pain,
And it may leave your courage lame,
But my sweet little tiger,
You must stand your ground,
And seek inward,
For I know there your heart will be found,

A heart of pride,
Of good,
Of joy,
A heart,
No fiend,
No enemy can destroy,


So my dearest sweet,
As you sit her at my feet,
Ready to face a unnecessary defeat,

Fight one more day,
Take life by its horns,
Giving in and giving up,
Only you will scorn,

Push my boy,
Push,
Lay it at God’s feet,
His plans for you may seem bitter,
But the end is always sweet.

Listen to your mommy son,
Listen good and clear,
You won’t ever have to fight alone,
As long as mommy and God
Is here.”

You might Say he’s weird,
Well  then he’s my kind of weird,

You Might say he’s a dork,
Well He’s my dork,

You might say he talks a lot,
Well I love to just listen to him,

You might complain he ignores you,
Well he’s doing it because I am his one and only,

You might say he’s not good looking,
Well I love him because he is cute,

You might say he lacks any fashion sense,
Well I love the way he looks in those ripped up jeans,

You might think his hairs too long,
Well that’s the hair I love to play with,

You might say he’s not very smart,
But it’s the way he looks at life that’s caught my heart,

You might say he thinks life’s a joke,
Well it’s that humour that keeps me from going insane,

You might wonder what I see in him,
But that’s exactly it…
Everything you don’t!

If I were a mind reader
Of what I would do,
I would read you,
Your thoughts,
Your sorrows,
Of all in which from me you hide,
In all of which you fear to confide.

If I were a mind reader,
I listen deep and true,
Of all of which the demons that haunt you,
Of all your hopes
your dreams
your fears,
Of all the unforgotten past tears,

If I were a mind reader,
I’d watch and see,
Your memories of which would display to me,
All your laughs,
Your screams,
Your pain.

If I were a mind reader,
I’d know what makes you tick,
What makes you mad,
And what makes you sick,
I’d know you,
Your heart,
and soul

If I were a mind reader,
I’d finally find out,
What makes your eyes so sad,
Your mind so mad,
Your heart so broken,
And your pain,
To me,
So unspoken

Notice me,
And Ill never ignore you,

Think about me,
And Ill never forget you,

Text me,
And Ill never delete it,

Call me,
And Ill never hang up in your ear,

Pursue me,
And I’ll never let you go,

Grab my hand,
And Ill never loosen my grip,

Pull me closer
And Ill never pull away,

Touch my cheek,
And Ill never stray from your touch,

Tell me I’m beautiful,
Ill never believe you,
but I’ll still blush,

Run towards me,
And I’ll never walk away from you,

Make time for me,
And Ill never be too busy,

Miss me,
And Ill never leave you,

Keep me safe,
And Ill never hurt you,

Love me,
And Ill never desert you.

I have been mocked each day,
By my minds eye and the pain it displays,
I have been crippled each day a little more,
As all do on me as a person implore,

I have been beaten,
Battered and Bruised,
I have been meek-end,
Manhandled and used,

I have been conditioned to pain,
And conditioned to a mind gone insane,
I have been taught to filter out,
Those thoughts that insecurities at me shout,

I have been trained to maintain a poker face,
Trained to stay ahead at a rapid pace,
I have been disciplined in the art of holding back,
I have been told to of feelings I pretend to lack,

And so I have through years gained,
A heart that to emotion grew estranged,
And so sixteen years tried me undone,
Now almost seventeen and already numb.

I don’t care anymore,
As mankind on my ways does implore,
I am one to mind my own business,
And for man obtained my own weariness,

For no matter how I try to be,
For all my true self to see,
There will always be those my ways do annoy,
And so with them comes the want to destroy,

Like a kamikaze fighter set on their mission,
But not for their country do they fight,
But rather head on for my omission,
Their delight.

I’ve fought so many kinds of man,
Poets, bullies, friends and clan,
I’ve stood for more than just myself,
As men wish others ways to engulf,

I have fought many a battle,
Though I may be young,
Many my cage have rattled,
And many I just barely won,

Yet I just don’t care anymore,
Not many a thing can joy in a soul restore,
There is only so much fight one can give,
And only so long on a battlefield one can live,

I fought for the feeble and the strong,
Fought for them all who in time did me wrong,
So no longer shall this lion roar,
It is battered and bruised and just doesn’t care anymore.

We all feel broken-Sometimes
Somewhere along our paths
We all need to cry-sometimes
When onto the edge we grasp

Sometimes we’re lonely
Sometimes we’re lost,
Sometimes feel a little stony,
As life’s shadows upon us cast,

I’m my biggest enemy
Have You ever felt that way?
Sometimes I’m unfriendly,
With the words that I do say,

I’m my biggest bully
Have you ever hurt yourself?
Sometimes- I know I’m being silly,
But with words I beat myself,

I’m my biggest flaw,
My biggest blemish and my biggest heartache,
As I at my surface claw,
And my own happiness I take,

I’m my biggest monster,
And I know you’ve been there too,
Sometimes- you scare yourself,
Sometimes- haven’t a clue?

We all feel broken-Sometimes
Somewhere along our paths
We all need to cry-sometimes
When onto the edge we grasp

Sometimes- we’re so empty,
We’re Barely even a shell,
Sometimes- we pretend to be contently,
So that Sometimes- no one can tell.

Butterfly
That has not flown with many a passing moon,
Butterfly,
It is as though yesterday you emerged from your cacoon,

Butterfly,
No longer is there any beauty inked wings,
Butterfly,
How your trampled wings sting,

Butterfly,
That once harmony and beauty spoke,
Butterfly,
That now only brutality in appearance evokes,

Butterfly,
Once beautiful and WOW,
Butterfly,
Only inadequacy does in you speak now,

Butterfly,
Who was to be the equivalent of beauty?
To posses perfection dear butterfly was your duty,
Now dull and broken with a bitter look of what once was lovely,
Butterfly by mans touch made ugly.
