don’t let me leave
don’t let me walk away
because I want to stay
my heart belongs to you

my mouth will shut
my mind will try to forget
I feel they want me dead
with you I have life to live

I tie myself away
I lock the door behind me
I throw away the key
only where you can find it

I only trust your love
I wonder if you will follow
this dark cloud of sorrow
to hold me tight again

the demons will fight
they won’t let go of my hand
they believe me as ******
until your light blinds the room

no one would face them
no one cared to sacrifice
showing me a paradise
that grows behind the clouds

now there’s your silhouette
that I witness in my dreams
that quiets my screams
singing my spirit to rest

when my eyes flutter open
now there’s your smile
inviting me to stay awhile
reminding me my paradise
is one I shall create

strings turned to wire
not even fire
can break them apart
her hands can’t break
her words can’t shake
the love we share
I drift away
asking for help when I pray
the wires bring me back to you
she kicks and screams
she brings me to my knees
I rise to feel your heart
the air echos with temptation
reminding me of expectations
that she made for me
I close my eyes
I remember I only fight
to keep you close
my life yearns for peace
to stay rooted like the trees
keeping upright as she whispers
my hand grabs yours
so my soul is secure
with you there’s no defeat
I lay down my head
thankful that I’m not dead
like I once wished for
because tomorrow will bring
new views of angel wings
you carry to fly high
I never want to miss
another moment of bliss
just you, me, and the moon
her name still haunts
her touch always taunts
but she’s not you
and you are all I’ll ever need

surrounded by green
just you and me
bird chirps echo
down a path so narrow
we stare at the dirt
whispering to the earth
inhaling the air
that you and I share
the sun sends rays
melting away the grey
the view I can see
I’ve seen in my dreams
the lilac aura you possess
cleanses my stress
I shine a summer green
through my ripped jeans
as the time passes
and the water splashes
my heart starts to warm
my spirit is reborn
grab onto my hand
let’s claim this land
soon you will find
that whatever is mine
your hands can take
my wins and my mistakes
in return I hold your heart
creating an abstract art
filled with love and serenity
protecting it for infinity

your sweet promises
are fantasies
I’ve searched galaxies
to find your heart
then I realized
love is just art
painted on a canvas
played by an actress
who lays on a mattress
deep down an addict  
who plays with sadness
your words are ink
that blot the page
his touch is a cage
I’m trapped within
being a slave
is how my life ends
buried in soil
with a dozen roses
wilting under the sun
because the gun
is too powerful
for a little girl
who lived to twirl
seen as a pearl
stolen by the keeper
who made her clean
made her to dream
made her to fly free
and the hand
is too *****
to keep distance
to ignore the existence
of a child’s position

electricity
runs through my veins
remaining eager
to take away your pain
to break your chains
sending sparks
lighting up my brain
shooting down
with the rain
it carves your name
with flames
onto my skin
my hairs begin
to stand thin
across all four limbs
my breath within
the depths of my sins
travels to cleanse
your heart
that craves to mend
the color blue
is an energy
I never knew
would lead me through
the darkness
walking beside
a person like you
with nothing to do
but to adore the view
the lightning
proves I’m alive
that the wires
wrapped around my spine
stay intertwined
with your being
finishing the design
the storm defined
as a miracle
made to stop time
and to shine as bright
as the electricity
that has helped
me survive
mindmatter May 2018
come back to your home
you built inside my core
inside awaits your throne
upon a marble floor

I have the fire place burning
beside a glass of wine
the walls are heard yearning
asking you to come inside

no one else has the key
to unlock my internal door
my body is never for free
unless you enter wanting more

I’ve kept your home clean
with candles sparkling bright
all I want is my beautiful queen
to stay with me tonight
mindmatter May 2018
skinny jeans
and a black tie
she has her hand
on my thigh
tell me
do you like me now?

cologne masking
the cigarette smell
all the girls say
I do it well
tell me
do you like me now?

my footprints walk
on new pavement
this city has
my soul awakened
tell me
do you like me now?

you stare
seeing new expressions
but my heart remains
loving my reflection
tell me
will you come around?

— The End —
