Glances speak louder,
than any word you've said to me,
meaningful farewells.
Here are my lyrics,
I speak them from impulse.
Here is my impulse,
it stems from my fear.
Here is my criticism,
I hand it out furiously.
Please take what I have,
and take it in vain.
Hear my soul out,
as I turn away in caution.
I will leave you dry,
will you **** me dry?
Disdain is my fortune,
lavished with riches.
Ignorance disguised as gold!

Is it dark,
Where you are?
Does depression drip down
Like a cold leak inside of the cave
Sending shivers down to your very core
Your only warmth; the tears running down your cheeks
But even they become chilled over time
Until you're left with nothing
And alone you sit
In your leaky
Dark...
Cavernous cave
Waiting to die in this freezing cold place
Instead of lighting a fire

Pulse echoing in the hollow canal of my ear,
A sweet, persuasive sound that initiates the craving,
I want to taste you in the sickest of ways,
Like itchy centipede legs discovering the back of your throat,
A discomfort only a thousand sips could quell,
I’d like to think I could resist,
I know better; I’m only realtime flesh,
Slowly rub your cheek against my chin,
I’ll dip my nose into your neck and use my tongue to caress each striation,
Until I can taste the carotid reaching toward the holy switchboard,
My jaws will not be denied, closing vehemently,
Penetrating the silky dermis, ragged vents meant to pourpourpour
Vital lifeblood and sustenance out into useful globs of passive alertness,
You are a beautiful, tormented creature in which I can bear to look at no longer.
I cannot see you as you are meant to be, I am deluded and biased..
Sent to realize truth, only to find no definitive,
I will relish bringing about your end as much as my own.
I am caged in his dark disgusting grasp
He strokes my heart as I try to escape
I want to leave his suffocating clasp
But I’m stuck like sticky pieces of tape

He forces his way into my open mind
Clouds my judgment, makes me inferior
He is constantly pushing me behind
Enough’s enough tonight I’m superior

I want to be independent and free
Rid myself of this horrendous devil
Not care what he says or does and just be
No more playing fair, I won’t be civil

Now I see the light, dim as it may be
It shines in my heart and shall set me free
Shall I love and lose myself within hate?
Is Venus glory meant to hurt this way?
Or am I just haunted by my own fate
That kills more and more of me with each day?

When I fell, I fell into harm as well.
Cannot escape nor will I ever embrace
This endless hate and rather go to hell!
And right there true happiness I will chase.

But for my chase all I got was this pain.
Caused by love I believed in and trusted.
But instead of happiness hate I’ll gain.
Everything now is gone and busted.

So for a blind eye I keep on living
While an honest soul will see me dying.

Not a place, in anyone's heart.
I'm an introverted man.
So no friendships to start.

My smile is heavy.
I'm a lonely man,
My mood is steady.

I'm a melancholy man.

It's how I was raised.
Less than a man.
My spirit, locked in a daze.

I'm not trying to be a snood,
So don't be offended.
I'm not intentionally rude.

I'm a melancholy man.

My trust isn't easily extended.
Your kindness will be my friend.
There's love & kindness within these mended fences.

A melancholy man, I am.
I heard a cry from deep inside,
That told me I had regret,
The warmest person on this earth,
And the most considerate yet.
All those times she called,
I assumed her to be relentless and slow,
I had an unrealistic view on the one I loved,
She had a stroke, little did I know.
I cannot change the past,
But I can say now I'm sorry and I love you,
I'm sure you are shining down on me from heaven,
And that much is true.

I am at at the bottom of the ocean
Baffled how I am still breathing
Wondering how I transcended
Viewing the world with 20 thousand leagues
Of liquid obstruction to distort my view
I am at the bottom of the ocean
The world does not pause
No one will toss me a line
It is my choice
Surrender to this aquatic haze
And possibly drown
Or belligerently swim to normalcy
The saltwater clouds my mind  
I am at the bottom of the ocean
I read this to a realist. She said, "Yea, you're tired." Oh' to view the world as a realist.
Night falls
we travel like falling stars
trailed by one another,
we chase the earth
for a common space
and there, we melt gently
and bid a beautiful good bye.
Fast, people come and go so fast.
