The heart is a cave, where there lives not a soul;
Full of nothing but fire, and smoldering hot coal;
There is a path that will lead to a small cavern of pain
Of emotions, so mutated, they don't have a name;

At night, in the silence, you occasionally hear;
A faint little voice... gargled, not clear;
Of the Soul that's been lost in the mountains of ash;
Left deep in the dark, discarded like trash;

There's nothing else there, not a bug, not a snake,
Just echo's of dreams, and sighs of heartbreak;
A monotonous melody that the Soul sings..
Of wishes of saviors, and Angels with wings........
One day you'll see.
One day I'll be heard.
I'm gonna pick myself up
And I'm gon' dust off the hurt.
Its stained in my skin
But I've been through worse.
Every lie you told me
Was just layed out and unfurled.
You deserve a ******* medal.
Did you need to rehearse?
You took something so pure
And just made it perverse.
And just like Dre I was caught in a verse.
Or maybe caught your smile.
Or just caught in your words.
I should have known you were trouble
By the way that you slurred.
When you were sippin' that drink
And tryna feel on my skirt.
But you knew just what to say
To keep me from running away.
But now its getting too hard
To keep my emotions at bay.
You do me wrong once,
That's a shame in itself.
Do it again and again
Well now you're all by yourself.
And don't come to me
Looking for sympathy.
You put your own self in this situation.
See, I'm blunt as ****.
I'll tell you what's up.
And I get colder that the coldest
When I give no *****.
We could have had it all.
We always had enough.
But you let greed cloud your vision,
You let your pride destroy us.
I guess I've loved and I've lost.
But at the highest of costs.
Cause now the man next to me
Thinks he's the reason I'm scarred.
And I just tell him upfront
That in the morning he's gone.
Won't ever let him get close,
Won't let him break down my gaurd.
One day I'll be fine.
One day I won't be ignored.
This too shall pass.
Please be assured.
Keep your head up and stay strong,
You can endure.
One day all of this suffering will be over and cured.

He's a man with money & he's got the power
He's got the keys to LA
He'll save me
From myself
Benjamin
I run to him
I hug him tight
He's like an obelisk
and I'm
Barely even there
**** yeah
looks like a gun to me

A whipping disorientation
whallops me like a
cicada falling out of a tree
Slight at first, but disgust
upon realization that
I don't
know what
I'm doing.

Where what
Oh god
It is beyond sick
thinking about college again
Freckled smile
Laughing eyes
Midnight locks
Expectant lips
Sarcastic kiss
Moss, softly green as grass
some bare feet to pass
red fox and deer to tread
mossy stepped, quietly the forest led
soon to rest golden heads
bright leaves
falling sleepily
to bed
I'm just an unlabeled mix CD.
Slightly scratched at the edges,
worn with the labors of love
and the empty rooms with the
twangs and bass of my soul
resonating off the wood panel walls
like they were midnight cathedral halls.
