Why love you, of myself I often ask. 
Is it thy scent, or heartwarming whispers? 
Or thy smile, in whose beams I often bask? 
Oh why, I find thee as my universe? 

Could it be your eyes, so filled with your love, 
So beautiful, like opals in the sun. 
Thy sweet laugh perhaps, warm snug like a glove. 
Maybe your walk, robust and built to stun. 

Yet, these things, they are merely physical.
I cherish your undying loyalty. 
Never have I found one so loveable, 
Your straight faithfulness fills my heart with glee. 

As long as your love is only for me, 
My love is pure and solely for thee.

Each heavy breath

falling in and out of time

with the hollow stroking of the clock

ticking endlessly into the dark distant unknown.

Your limbs

carelessly strewn amongst the ever­building clutter

provides a careful serenity;

A calm that dangles precariously,

waiting to fall into the surrounding chaos.

Tense and untouched,

my eyes will keep you safe.

I'm locked
Surround by chains
that lock me down,
Surround by pain
that destroys my name

I'm locked
No woman nor man
could ever wish for this
I'm drowning in hopelessness
If there was a way
to release this curse
I wouldn't have to suffer by
going through the worst
I wouldn't shred a single tear,
My body wouldn't ake
And I wouldn't be taken back
by my mistakes

Im locked
Destroyed by the life that is my own,
To the devil it feels as if I'm sold,
Every day gets dimmer
my life gets darker,
To God I am just his stocker

I'm locked
If I were to be given a second chance,
only then would my vocabulary
not be filled with I can't
Only then would I not count the minutes
Or count everyday life
as the witching hour
I wouldn't cower in the corner
Or write down death dates in my calendar
Like I used too

No
I would get a new chance at life
I wouldn't die by my own hand
And wouldn't say it was just a knife
