Sickly sweet
The taste of another's defeat
Something you shouldn't be proud of
Yet you are
That sickly sweet smell
The pleading look in their eyes
Their relief when you spare them
It's addicting consuming
Even though it's wrong
Even though it's horrible and cruel

Hate is what you show in your voice
It is saddness you show in your eyes
All through your life this mask has been your disguise
Don't you think it's time to face your fears?
Don't you think it's time to be brave?
Instead of soaking in your self pity, tears and words of hate

For a slight of hand
You may be found
In the forest
Birds chirping all 'round
Stabbed through the heart
Tied to the ground

To all of the nameless pierrot's
Who were hurt
But didn't let it show
Even when bleeding and bent
Making people smile wherever they went
They mask their pain
Trying in vain
To save themselves from that murderous fall
Made to end them once and for all
But someone cried
Ran to their side
As the teardrops began to fall
Off slid the pierrots' masks
Down came their walls
The pierrot's are dead
But they died without pain
Because someone cared
Someone cried
Someone **loved

I am not obsessed
Not with water
Not with the sky
It is simply love
Yes
I am in love
How each is free
To do what they wish
At any time
Day or night
How waves may crash and pound
Though a moment later they are silent
How the sky may never be defined in height
For it houses all 'stars' millions of light years away
I am not obsessed with either
Just in love
For each can do what they wish
Though one is on the ground
And one is far above

My hero
My safety cloak
My inspiration
My teacher
I loved you as all these things
Through your poems
Though it might not show
You were my smile
And my sunshine
For your poems made me understand
That even though Ded Poets die
Their hearts and souls
Will forever survive
Through their poems and what they've done

Red teardrops
Throughout the night
Collect in a pool
Reflecting amber light
You've been vicious and cruel
Blood stained knife
It lays across your chest
As you lay beside your wife
Three abreast

Bubbling lava in my chest
Flows over to my heart
Now suppressed
By my glowing rage
None to be seen from the outside
This anger I must hide
To staunch the lavas flowing tide

My responsibilities
Are mine
Yes
What a miracle it is
That me,
A girl
Can take care of things myself

Hearts are for people
Hearts break
Hearts crack
So I'm glad I'm an alien
This way nothing gets stolen
My organs are intact
Just as I left them in fact
Dopamine doesn't invade my brain
There's no need to play silly games
So I'm glad I'm an alien
This way I feel no pain

My little sunshine girl
How you laugh
How you twirl
How you smile
All the while
When deep inside
You taste bile

My little sunshine girl
How you fool the world
How you show only brightness
How you show only flames
All the while
Just a pile
A pile of lies

My little sunshine girl
How do you feel without feeling
How do you never cry
How do you hide what's inside
All the while
A beautiful smile
That wouldn't suggest a thing

My little sunshine girl
When you walk into a room
You make people's hearts bloom
They smile like fools
Being sad is no use
Not around you

My little sunshine girl
I wish you'd learn how to smile for real
Everyone else you meet
Is perfectly happy
Why can't you be happy yourself?

In the moonlight
One tiny movement
The subtle swaying
Of a blade of grass
A tiny sign
That all was fine
So with long silver hair
Twinkling voices and skin fair
They danced
In the moonlight

In the moonlight
A giant gust of wind swept the ground
The vigorous shaking
Of every leaf and branch
A sign
That nothing was alright
So with long silver hair
Twinkling armor and blades bared
They fought
In the moonlight

From lovers
To warriors
In a minutes time
All could stop
At the drop of a dime
In the moonlight

Simple poems I do create
Not for glory
Not for pain
For emotions
For expression
The most simple way
To say what I say
Is to say it
Straight on
Eloborate plays
No
Not today
Maybe another
For now I'll stay
I'll stay the same
And I will write
Simple little poems
That are long
Though somehow short

Crime doesn't pay
Well enough to take away
All of the pain
Money down the drain
A single kiss
A feeling of bliss
Because that kiss was from you
I feel brand new
Fall today
No reason to stay
Out of love
Not sent from above
No other way
Nothing else to say

How you'll try
To erase
All of the lines
In the book of lies
That you create

How you'll try
To rebuild
Every bridge
That you burn

How you'll try
To discern
One story
From the next

And with every page
Day by day
The more you'll regret

Book of lies
Thick or thin
In the end
You'll never win

Every bridge you build
Every story you discern
Will burn
Will blur
And every second
You have no guilt
No remorse
Is a second that leaves you
Burned and blurred
In your own way
By your own nonexistent moral standards

Book of lies
Oh book of lies
How you corrupt
How you disguise

Book of lies
Oh book of lies
How you stain
No word can be erased
No page rewritten

Oh
How you'll try
To erase
Every line
In the book of lies
That you create

Ruby hair
Emerald eyes
Candy lips
Sly smile

No kiss goodbye
Time will fly
Crumpled clothes
On the floor
We don't need them,anymore

A little lie
A white lie
No harm to be done
For a little fun

Flowers for the dead
Shriveled and dried
Just like their hearts

Flowers for the dead
Lush and pure
Just  like their souls

Flowers for the dead
Starry and brilliant
Just like their minds

Flowers for the dead
Really flowers for the living
For those alive are dead inside
Those who are dead are dead outside

They see more than the living
For the living are dead

They see more than the living
For the dead are alive

Don't look at me
With those lonely eyes
Like melted chocolate
I silent scream
That portrays your constant frown
Screaming for help
Screaming for peace

A note
A note
All you left me was a note
After all we've been through
All you leave is a note!
No extra tight hug goodbye
No cherished kiss
No last night to talk and laugh?
No!
A note
Just a note
No last I love you
No tender touch?
Just a note
No hint towards your pain
Though people aren't my domain
I could've helped
But no
A note
I got a note
A ******
Crumpled piece of paper
That I will cherish for ever
Your last words scrawled in sloppy blue pen

"I'll see you in the next life. I'll love you even then. I'll love you until we meet again."

Im going deaf
I'm going blind
I can no longer trust my mind

I haven't yet deleted your messages
I haven't yet erased your memory
Every word you spoke to me
A cherished memory
Every chord played
From your guitar
Wrote itself into the stars
For the world to see
Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Restless?
Yes
Yes this is true
I could say the same about you
Trapped inside
Stuck in our heads
Ill go crazy just laying in bed
So I write
Yes I write
About happiness
About pain
About color
About wishes
About angels and witches
So I write
Yes I write
About everything I can
About everything I need
To stay sane

I'm a kitchen sink
A kitchen sink that fills and spills
A kitchen sink that washes everything away
A kitchen sink that is stationary
Cannot move
A kitchen sink that is silent
Save for the whisper of water running
Save for the silent protests of agony
When dishes are thrown
When it is filled
I'm a kitchen sink tears in the form of a leaking faucet
Calm and silent
Stationary and unnoticed

I hate nonsense verses
But if there were none my words would be worthless
No fun meanings bringing people to the show
No empty spaces where your minds can grow
Nothing to hear
Nothing to see
Nothing beautiful
Nothing free

On the secret side
The other side
Where I reside
My secret place
The only space
That I have to myself
I live like there's no tomorrow
I live like life is just a dream
I dream like life's worth living

I laugh at what I see
People read
Oh yes
They read
They may appreciate my words
Just not the way I write them
Maybe
Just not the words I use
Maybe
Just not the style or my repetition
Maybe
But...
They read and they know
What I say is what I mean
And it comes straight from my heart

Too much coffee
Too much love
Too many kisses
Too many hugs
Too much
Too many
Too many
Too much
Sometimes enough is enough
As you can clearly see

Another hello
Another goodbye
What's it matter to you
You have time

Golden curls
Ruby lips
Emerald eyes
Pale skin
Tender kisses
Clothing shed
Beautiful dance
Not meant for the stage

We carried Johnny home
Past the sycamore tree
A bullet sized hole apparent in his chest
A scarlet blanket covering his breast
A trail of red on grey stone
Followed Johnny home
Up to the door we marched poor Johnny
Just a child was he
We carried Johnny to his home up in the mountainside
His mother waiting there
Her face pale and scared
We carried Johnny home to his mother in the mountains
Hardly a word could he speak
He said I love you mum but I must go
I must go back down that road
Past the sycamore tree
For I can fight for myself and everyone else
And none shall fight for me
There Johnny lay
his fierce words ringing in everyone's minds
His mother reached down and gently shut his eyes
She said
Burry him in the battle field
Forever there he shall lie
Fighting for those who walk on earth
For the only peace hell have is if he's doing something great
So we carried Johnny down back past the sycamore tree
To lay poor Johnny to rest
The scarlet blood gone from his chest
Musket laid 'cross his breast
People wept
For that lost boy
For Johnny
Another child lost to the war
Bound to protect those who are in need
Bound to protect those he can
Bound in death and blood to the promise he made us all

What a beautiful nightmare you are
Lost in the catacombs of your thoughts
Filled with tenderness that could never be forgotten
Lost in the darkness that consumed you
Filled with love easily seen

What a beautiful nightmare you are
Make people want to laugh and scream
Make people want to die for you
Make people want to **** you
Make people want to wake up
Make people want to stay asleep
For you beautiful nightmare

Ghosts from the past
Haunt your present day
Phantoms from the future
Over run your brain
It's enough to drive you insane

Can you hear
Can you see
All of the ghosts
The ghosts that haunt your dreams

Do you understand
Your rights and your wrongs
The mistakes that fuel these specters' haunting songs
The rights and good will
That almost drive them away
No
You can't
You don't
You won't
You want them to stay

Matches
Cigarettes
Knives and bottles
People's addictions
People's models

Lately you've been falling down Darkness surrounding you
I want to show you the way
You say you don't want to see
I wish to give you light
You say you like the dark
I wish to know your trouble
You say there is none
I've excepted your words
I've excepted your choice
This isn't over
This isn't done

Doesn't matter what you say
My mind is mine
My mind is made

I'm not a misfit
I'm not a nerd
I'm a person
A person that wants to hear
A person that wants to be heard

Tick tock goes the clock
Fallen down its over now
Gettin sick
Tired of this
Half alive
All the time
Another face
Out of place
Out of time

Summer nights
Blinking lights
Before your eyes
Fireflies

Dainty dandelion
Dancing in the summer breeze
Delicate and bright
Dancing ferocious and free

A nonsense poem
A nonsense song
A nonsense line
A nonsense rhyme
Nonsensical nonsense
Time after time
Just for something
Something to write

Lizzie burden took an ax
Gave her mother forty whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one
Such anger
You're in danger
Run away
You can not stay
Serial killer
That's what we call 'er
Ax stained with blood
Her shoes caked with mud
In court innocent as can be
Everyone but the jury can see
Lizzie burden who took an ax
Gave her mother forty whacks
Who when she saw what she had done
Gave her father forty-one
Was set free
Because all but the jury could see

Over the air
Under the sea
There is something there
Something exists
Under the hills
Over the mountains
Something grows
Something strong
Through tunnels
Across the land
Something rolls
Something bright
Under the ground
Over the stars
Something stands
Something invincible

Death and decay
Doesn't matter either way
All things end
'Till then you said you'd be my friend
You ended it to soon
Under the darkened sky
And the bright moon
You made a mistake
It wasn't the end
At least not until you made it then
You left me alone
Your body lifeless and cold
You said you'd protect me
But no one could protect me from you
You were angry
You were sad
My sister was crying
We were all dying but you're the one who left this earth!

Bye and bye
You waste your time
Time to time
You wonder if you're right
Minute by minute
Hour by hour
People want absolute power
It will not happen
We will not change
Questions we have will have to remain
Unanswered
Whilst we rot in our undug graves

One in a million
Everyone wants to be a billionaire
Perfect white teeth
Perfectly combed hair
Perfect clothes
Perfect car
Terrible ending
Perfect start

Down
Down
Down
The wild winding river
Cool breezes as light as a feather
Cold waters as rough as the sea
Down
Down
Down
The wild winding river

Come join us
What's the fuss
Got in a little over my head
Now my hearts invested
Gotta get over this
Gotta turn it around
My heart was in the clouds
But before I knew it it was on the ground
Used to love it here but now I'm stopped by fear
Afraid to write
Stayed up all night
Couldn't sleep though it was just me
I miss you A and S too
Life's just not the same without you
You kept me in check
I did my best
I miss you now
I'm chained down
Can't find the key
Life moved on without me
So I stay inevitably
Stuck here in my memory

Everyone has someone to love
Even me
Everyone has someone to love
Even you
