Loving you is like torture 
a deep searing pain 
scrambling up my emotions 
the signals to my brain

Wanting, no needing you by my side 
I want you
to be my Bonnie and I'll be your Clyde

The heavens are in awe 
of the love we truly share 
Without you 
I'd be a mere shell of despair

One day the sun will set 
and my last breath I will take 
My life was filled with torture 
loving every minute of it 
make no mistake

I'll be waiting for you in heaven 
my sweet baby girl 
our love is boundless 
not controlled by this world

We will dance together 
forever just me and you 
our love together 
is timeless, deep, passionate and true
You be the jelly
and I'll be your bean
we can be yellow  
or maybe green
We'll hang around
inside the jar
hoping our love
will take us far
So put in a quarter
and we'll come out
taste is delicious
have no doubt
Twist the handle
and we'll start to fall
into your hand
we'll have a ball
Now lift us up
and start to chew
we won't be angry
or even blue
We fill your hunger
or maybe a craving
eating us
is not misbehaving
I'll always be happy
it'll always be keen
if you are the jelly
and I am your bean

They never knew how it was like
They couldn't read my mind
Sure I can hide what is inside
The invincible mind erases defeat
Lost like fire on its way to sleep
Steel bends under its command
Shielding lust for every man
The words it bears love to sing
Now and then they hear the cling

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

They hear me screaming from inside
They can't be both deaf and blind.
Only my words will survive
If darkness' wounds would take me out
Somebody surely heard me shout
Reaching out they'd call my name
I would never feel the wounds again
Through fire and rain, and oceans deep
This curse cannot find defeat

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

The sickness once took a slave
What's left is the nothing it gave
Empty room with a golden chest
Tempting the mind its best
See what it has become
The tear that falls so slowly down
Friend or foe
What's the difference in a lonely world
Disaster likes the taste
You'll find me, alone in my cage

Weird, they call me
Although I am insane
Sometimes it's what keeps me tame
Behind the wall
Is fought a war
It goes like thunder
I can' t stand it anymore

Sickness, burn my name
Haunt my life, taste the flame
Sickness, play your game
You
My crown began to overflow
With emotions, thoughts that are never to be shared
               YOU drank my salty tears as if they were water
Feeding off my innocence
Flooding my senses with your skilled deception
                        You TRICKED me into believing you cared                            
Left ME in a black hole, convinced I didn’t deserve more      
Knowing I would let you in AGAIN
If you would say,
I love you beautiful

   YOU TRICKED ME AGAIN.

Slur pee
Tar fills my lungs,
As thick as molasses
Never-ending coughs,
Fogging up your glasses,
Milky white eyes,
Saucers I'd drink from.
Fill me with your lies,
Watch them stick to my insides.

We dance in this smoke, with four left feet
Our ears are bleeding, so we make up a beat
We snort our sugar, to prevent rotten teeth
But our mouths are still riddled with cavities.
I scheduled an appointment for a lobotomy,
To drain my brain from these thoughts,
And alter reality.

If I told you we were lost,
Would you stay here with me?
I don't know north from south,
Or my west from my east.
And sometimes in this forest,
I hear the animals scream.
If it didn't hurt so much,
I'd swear it was a dream.

You said love seven times
I deleted my poem
Yet again
It wasn't about love
Afterall.
I just liked how the word sounds
And how it twists our minds
What?
