Drip, drip.
The lovely red.
Drips from the veins.
Inside of your head.

Drip, drop, drip, drop.
I think your dead.
So much blood.
The pretty red.

Onto the concrete.
Blood stains on the walls.
Drip, drop, drip, drop.
Heard in empty halls.

The pleasant drip.
As your heart stops.
Like rose petals on snow.
Such lovely red drops.

Blood let's us live.
Blood also can ****.
It delivers the poison.
Brought in by the pill.

Dripping, dripping.
None left inside.
Without anymore blood.
Your carcass is dried.

Do you know.
What torment means.
Is it the sad song.
That darkness sings.

A mournful tune.
To witch the words are long gone.
A shallow feeling.
A depressing song.

Is it empty.
Like a black hole.
Like a deep dark trench.
That will never be full.

Is it pain.
Like a rupturing heart.
Or a poor vein.
Popped with a sharp dart.

A tightening in your chest.
Like your heart had stopped.
Does torment feel.
Like being dropped.

Can you see torment.
In the eyes of man.
Slowly burning.
Like food in a pan.

Is it blood running.
Running from your neck.
When from your dead body.
The bird does peck.

What does torment.
Mean to you.
You'll never know my meaning.
Until you've seen what I've been through.

i don't know.
where my life went.
but now i am dead.
my life was spent.

i put on my dress.
as green as envy.
my skin covering hate.
with witch my heart was heavy.

my lips.
red like lust.
i wore the seven sins that night.
thinking. **** i must.

her eyes shone.
full of greed and gluttony.
that her jewels gladly portrayed.
hidden there a mutiny.

her hair done up.
in a way.
that showed sloth.
its fashion lazy.

she walked.
every step full of pride.  
that was misplaced.
she didn't try to hide.

she let out her wrath.
and danced on satans floor.
dancing with the devil.
unable to stop her feet ****** and sore.

for one dance with the devil.
on his own dance floor.
her soul long gone.
the song forever more.

Swallow them down
Lumps of coal leaving dust in my throat
Cough once
Cough twice
Spit out black coal dust
Brush my teeth

In my chest
Or sometimes my stomach
The pressure builds

When I *****
And my stomach wretches
And my heart seizes

They'll climb back up my esophagus
Edges sharpened
Reflecting crimson gore
From the paths they cut as they came back out

If coal can turn into diamonds
Can my "self restraint"
Turn a bitten tongue into silver?

I cut my voice on diamonds
They looked like rubies when I spit them out

Silver moon
Your light so bright
Reflecting off
The lake tonight

Shining down
Against the land
Vibrant shades
Turned dark and grand

Silver moon
Hear my plea
Shine off my tears
And please save me

Shining brighter
Than the stars
sometimes red
Brighter than mars

The cool night air
Kisses my skin
Your silver light
Mixed with the wind

I stand alone
In this moonlit meadow
Your silver light
Creating my shadow

Sparkling
On my tears tonight
Silver moon
Of silver light

On cloudy nights
You stand alone
And in your night
Is my home

Dripping off petals
Of silky soft red
Standing tall and strong
In an earthen bed

Running down the stem
Covered in knives
Off of one bush
Comes many more lives

Each small red gem
Silently sleeping
The dew running down
As if silently weeping

Mist hangs in the air
The white breath of the earth
While calm and peaceful
Also seems to drain the mirth

The tight weeping bud
Awakens to dawn
Stretching its petals
At the birds morning song

Sunlight rains down
On the silky red flower
The energy to live
That it does devour

Dash now my hopes on foreign shores
Let the distant ocean stake her claim
She cannot do any further harm
Than silver devils who have done the same

Thoughts of the heart are unrelenting
Yet bared teeth have made
The tongue they bite awfully craven
They dare not utter what the heart may say

A lone king
Sits on his throne
In the crumbling castle
He once called home

The crown on his head
No more than gold
Can't bring back
The life that he sold

He sold it for power
And lost it to greed
He focused on the want
And not on the need

His people were poor
His nobles were fat
He did not see the mess
On which his throne sat

He started many a war
The greed drove him mad
It was easy to tell
His kingdoms condition was sad

It all fell apart
Others invaded
But to funding the army
He would not be persuaded

Now here he sits
On a crumbling throne
Both his body and heart
Surrounded only by stone

Hope is like a rose.
Made of green.
A small little bud.
At first unseen.

It grows and grows.
And blooms at the head.
A beautiful flower.
Of burning bright red.

The petals like silk.
Red like fire.
Inviting to all.
As it grows on it's pyre.

Then the petals fade.
They dry and they fall.
Cold nights roll in.
They die at winters call.

A rose is like hope.
Growing from nothing.
Making it self known.
Wanting to be something.

Then it withers away.
And crumbles and dies.
Hope is no more.
Into the wind the dust flys.

Common
Brown eyes
Brown on so many faces

But if eyes are the window
Straight to the soul
And every soul is unique
Then nobody's eyes are common

Honey on leather
Sat in the sun on a sunday
Right after noon
Sticky smile
Warm

Dirt
Rich in the shade
Of a tree that has seen all
Full of life
And secrets
A bit cool and damp
And yet inviting

Leaves fallen and dry
Crunching and sharp
Drifting and floating
And landing softly

Glass bottle eyes
Shining and clear
A little see through
But bright and childish
Like rose colored glasses
But better

Chestnuts
Textured and wooden
Rough and intuitive
See right through you
And hold you tight

So many browns
Dismissed and unseen
By people who don't take time
To look and really see
And absorb

Brown eyes
Brown windows
Looking in on every type of soul
Waiting to be written about
By someone who is looking

My sister has curly hair
From day one
She has cut and burned it at every chance

Her hair is dark and thick
Like our fathers
I wish I had his hair instead

I wish the follicles on my head
Wernt thin and brittle
And quick to fall

Would that make me a man?

My sister has a flat chest,
My ******* have been called the best
My family and friends alike

She calls her own chest, childlike
If we traded, and my breath was unstressed
If they fell from my body

Would that make me a man?

What an unjust God
Who would give us bodies
That did not fit our souls

What cruel diety
Would leave us feeling
So cramped

Fly away
On feathered wings
From labyrinth window
You will spring

Plush blankets
With lies you gain
To free you and father
From fearing pain

Waxen glue  
Hold feathers tight
Pray and pray
You will take flight

Wings flap strong
You now are free
Above the sun
Below the sea

Don't fly to high
Don't fly to low
Melted or soaked
You will drown below

The sun, the sun
Your wings are dripping
Diving and falling  
Through air your slipping

Feathers are gone
Your wings are bare
You flew to high
You're falling through air

Under the waves
You cannot swim
Your lungs are now full
The water will win

Oh poor icarus
You were sure to be free
You flew to high
Now your grave is the sea

This poor old bear
Tag torn and tattered
Only a voice in my head
But you told me I mattered

Once snowy white
You've darkened with time
You've been through so much
And become covered in grime

Your fur soft and worn
You gathered my tears
A voice in my head
But you drove away fears

They can call me insane
But they never cared
I didn't let go of my mind
I simply shared

Poor old bear
You've been through so much
And even after so many years
You're still calming to touch.

What is life.
So many would ask.
What is the object.
Behind the mask.

Some see the good.
Like rainbows and sun.
A joyous thing.
In which we run.

Some see the bad.
Like pain and tears.
Afraid to live.
Because of their fears.

What do I think.
I'll tell you my dear.
Death comes to all.
Our time is short here.

Life has no meaning.
It's to quick to sever.
Death is what matters.
It lasts forever.

This is my lullaby.
With a dark tune.
And and elven voice.
Singing to the moon.

"Lay down your head.
On pillows of clouds.
Weaved from the sky.
And sliver shrouds.

Under the moon.
And the star lit sky.
Open the window.
And away you do fly.

May you always find joy.
And stay safe from all harm.
The stars watch over you.
Under the nights velvet charm."

This lullaby will go on.
This one will last.
The softly sung words.
From deep in my past.

Age is measured
by number of years
10, 20, 30
counted by your peers

you're born with a number
that sticks with you through life
you can't shake it off
no matter the strife

you're labeled by worth
"how much money have you?"
not by your soul
or how far your heart flew

you're labeled in death
by the year that you died
not the life that you lived
or the tears that you cried

you get a number in prison
your name doesn't matter
for all that they care
you're another mad hatter

you're judged by your height
or the pounds that you weight
only those who are famous
are judged by what they say

so many numbers
and to you they are sown
judged by a number
and not the unknown

Sand through and hour glass
And breath on a window
The grass growing back
Soon after you mow

Memory through age
Legend through time
Story to myth
And myth to nursery rhyme

The moon in the sky
The cycle of stars
The tide of the sea
The red glow of mars

A breath in
A breath out
A small whisper
A sharp shout

The sigh of a breeze
Swaying of trees
A red cherry blush
And weakening of knees

The orange glow of the clouds
As the sun rises at dawn
A rubbing of eyes
A lazy, tired yawn

Moments are fleeting
And hard to keep pinned
To precious to loose
But they are like dust in the wind

we are the shunned.
we live in shadows.
in the dark places.
on the edge of the meadows.

we watch the others.
ones excepted in the world.
the shining ones.
for whom the houses are built.

they dance and prance.
free in society.
they follow the norm.
of the world they are proprietary.

while we are the shunned.
we don't follow the norm.
we are our own people.
we won't follow the swarm.

we have gifts and talents.
that other do fear.
so they cast us out.
make us feel we don't belong here.

but this is our world to.
we may have talents and gifts.
that others don't have.
but still they use the biffs.

and our saddened faces.
are forever permanent.
and our cries float in the night air.
the shunned lament.

I asked the vampire
If it hurt his mind
To feed on the living
And to leave time behind

I asked the ghost
If it pained his soul
To know he was no more
Than a formless immortal

I asked the werwolf
If it tormented his heart
To know how he mindlessly
Rips people apart

They all answered yes
It pained them so
To know of the sorrow
That they themselves sow

They weeped at the thought
They cried for the dead
Tears dripped from their eyes
As they hung their head

I asked them of their home
Of the shadows in which they live
They went utterly silent
They had only horror to give

But in all honesty
The shadows seem nice
They called it evil
Filled with rats and mice

Next time you want life
Or strength beyond measure
Or more time with family
Just simply remember

Choose your words wisely
Or you will live feeling sad
Say what you mean
Or you will be had

Crashing on rocks
A salty spray
Rising and falling
Each passing day

Beating on rocks
Turning then smooth
A crashing song
That seems to soothe

Sitting on the beach
Dark clouds hang above
This soothing tune
Made for both sorrow and love

Oh, how the vast ocean
Makes my life small
My problems seem no longer
So very tall

The tears on ny face
Drops in the sea
Not all that different
Both wet and salty

dripping, dripping
Gone with the tide
The huge ocean
Shrinking my already small pride

If I could
Pull my clockwork heart out
From my chest and point
To every gear that refuses to tick

If I could
I would dismantle it in front of you
To show you where
And why it gave out

If I could
I would show you the gear
Unattached to any other
Spining desperately
Because it doesn't know
It's spinning along and for nothing

If I could
I would tell you I think
That I didn't know
That clockwork was so delicate
I think I have clumsy hands
And I broke a few parts
Trying to fix it

If I could
I would give you the windup key
To stab me in the back and twist it
Hoping for something to click into place

But I can't.
I gunked up the keyhole
Hope and fear don't mix well
Like chewing gum they stick
And mix until they're both brown

I can't
Reach that little gear
Spinning so relentlessly

I can't oil it
And stop it from screaming
Screeching so loudly
At all the other gears around it
That won't turn no matter how fast it goes

I can't
Turn each gear by hand
I've tried
No one warned me
That clockwork hearts are warm
And bruise so easily

If I could
I would take up my clockwork heart
In my clumsy callous hands
Feeling it's hummingbird wing beats
Struggling in Morse code
Begging and pleading
To be held gently

If I could
I think maybe I would grip it
Feel it sputter and struggle
Like every time before
Just for clockwork gears
To grind together
To spark for all the wrong reasons

If I could
I would squeeze just a bit more
Until the last spinning gear halted
I would sob as I crushed it
Because it's already bruised and sore

If I could
I would be gental and lay it down
Let it hummingbird wings beat
And see that it's a cog in a dying machine

If I could
I would let it go cold
Numb it so the bruises stop hurting
I would put it to rest for pities sake

If I could
I would be soft with it
But I have clumsy callous hands
And cruelty will have to do
I would dare to call it mercy
If it would justify my tears

Were I but a butterfly
On eve of summers past
Born to struggles brief
Handed dice not mine to cast

Upon unforgiving wind
Which bows the stoic tree
To land at last beneath the sun
And allow lady death to cradle me.

Snap, rip
Torn and gone
A lovely tune
Turned to a sad song

Feathers of white
Plucked like a duck
Why do the kind
Run out of luck

A snap and a crack
Soon im falling through air
On wings that are broken
By life so unfair

Every harsh word
Everything that you said
I saved and remembered
Inside my head

You could hurt me before
But now that i'm cold
With a stone heart
A soul long sold

My wings are broken
I'm falling through air
I'll make this world
Just a little more fair

What can you do
I've got nothing to loose
You took the wings of an angel
Who had death as her muse

Tell me a story.
Of olden times.
Tell me a tale.
With silver rhymes.

Tell me a story
With dragons and kings.
With vast hordes of treasure.
And castles and queen.

Tell me a story.
From long long ago.
Of knights and nobles.
Of where giants grow.

Tell me a story.
And I'll tell you one back.
Or better yet.
Make up your pack.

Let's make a story.
Come take my hand.
And we'll be a story.
As we travel the land.

I absolutely wonder
If maybe you can see
The long and lanky demons
That sit and stare at me

In the corners of my room
They sit and stare at night
In the edges of my vision
Just within my sight

And I just can't help but wonder
Which set of eyes I should trust
The ones that say demons don't exist
Or the ones that say they must

And you must understand
My reality is twisted
What I continue to deny
Has gone on and persisted

And I have to wonder
That if I close my eyes
If the demons remain
Or if they're but a vanishing lie.

I'm a ghost.
A reflection of me.
A fractured peice.
Of who I used to be.

You took me.
You shattered my mind.
You broke me.
Oh cruel world that left me behind.

Now I'm in pieces.
But here the pieces will stay.
You may have broken me.
But I won't go away.

I will haunt your life.
I'll be that sick reminder.
Of the people you broke.
Maybe in the future you'll be kinder.

Oh cruel world.
Who broke many a soul.
Who killed and devoured.
Those poor souls whole.

But here are my echoes.
Still I'm this world.
Shouting forever.
Their story untold.

Come to me
I whisper in your ear
Listen to the sweet words
That you now hear

Pulling you away
Out of the light
With sweet promises
Of removing your fright

Lovely silk words
Roll off a silver tongue
And into my web
Now you are strung

My words a tangled web
Glittering in morning dew
But all who have entered
With venom I slew

Out from the shadows
I whisper sweet lies
To pull you to darkness
Where only evil thrives

Each golden word
So easy to say
But it is with the same words
It is you I will slay

Your sorrow is funny
Your tears are a joke
I'm laughing at the pitiful words
In which you do choke

You want to see truth
Look into my eyes
My deadly, dark gaze
Is not made of lies

Come into darkness
You'll have nothing to fear
And my dark, chilling laughter
Is the last that you'll hear

Maybe I don't have enough tears
Maybe no amount of tears would be adequate
I find myself shaking
Screaming
Retching
And in all my misery
Still I do not have you
And I can not cry an ocean
I can not cry a single tear

a cloak of the night.
covered in stars.
a crown of the moon.
gems red as mars.

skin as black.
as the night sky.
radiant like Venus.
and black wings that will fly.

her cloak stretched.
far out behind her.
covering the sun.
that would soon blind her.

far does she fly.
into the day.
making it night.
as she goes on her way.

her brother the day.
does lay down to rest.
a pillow of light.
a bright sunny nest.

she tucks him in.
with the cloak of her night.
back to her journey.
she enters her flight.

she is the elder.
over the sun.
for the beginning was black.
in terms of light there was none.

she was the start.
and she'll be the end.
the dark needs no source.
but to death the sun she'll send.

she is like a vampire.
diving in on the day.
covering the light.
taking it away.

Dance with me
Spin me around
Breath into me
And lift me from the ground

Fill me with hope
And allow me to grow
A sweet gentle breeze
Through you I flow

Me burning hot
Dancing on wood
Flickering tongues
I burnt what I could

You gentle and soft
A whisper on wind
Keeping me alive
Giving me oxygen

Twirl around me
Spin me with grace
Feed my warm glow
And light up the earths face

From one little spark
An inferno am I
Blackening the wood
And reaching for the sky

Dance with a grace
But don't steal the show
Dance just to fast
And my flame will burn low

My fate in your hands
To grow or to die
To turn into dust
Or to reach for the sky

I hear each one land
So silent, so small
My hand grows wet
With each tear to fall

Run out my eye
And skid across my cheek
Drip off my chin
My heart feels bleak

I don't want to think
For with each thought
My mind cracks more
With each memory pain brought

With each fallen tear
Comes a fresh wave of pain
A thousand insults
And I've got nothing to gain

I'm useless, unwanted
Overweight and dumb
With what I say to myself
To others I'm numb

Whatever they say
Only rolls right off
I really don't care
I laugh and I scoff

I've heard every word
Every insult they spew
I've said them all to myself
None of it's new

A pool forms in my hands
Salty, and warm
Demons fly 'round my head
A red horned, tailed swarm

The small little angles
Mixed into the crew
They are hard to see
They are small and they are few

With every success
I see my own failure
My minds ripped at the seams
My brain needs a tailor

Don't cry in public
Never show the pain
No one wants to help
I've got nothing to gain

I let the water fall
And crawl into bed
A dark dreamless sleep
Will clear out my head

I fade into the background
So easy to forget
And though it's not my fault
I alway come to regret

And every conversation
Despite the laughes or tears
Now all seem so meaningless
Sad forgotten years

They never seemed to notice
What the silence meant
A silent cry for help
My energy, on forced silence, spent

So back to isolation
It's clearly understandable
For though all others are
I'm clearly not irreplaceable

A cold winters night.
The moon did not rise.
This cold winters night.
Was the night of your demise.

You crashed through the door.
With a bottle of beer.
You chugged till the bottom.
To bury your fear.

The night had been rough.
The stars did not shine.
You were ***** and smelly.
And covered in grime.

Pushed in the mud.
Kicked in the face.
Told by every rich man.
To stay in your place.

Money run dry.
Spent on ***** and liquor.
Your ego shrunk to nothing.
Your dignity no more.

You had no reason to live.
You pulled out your gun.
Was it really alright.
To be a coward and run?

No it wasn't ok.
You repeated this over although
Still put the gun to your head.
And painted a scarlet window.

The snaking river
Winding past trees
Making small boats
Out of tiny leafs

Its journey is long
And lonely at best
But it continues to flow
Needing no rest

Its soft burbling sound
Is calming to hear
And its pure, clean water
Draws animals near

It brings life to the land
Making it green
Causes flowers to bloom
And stones to gleam

It provides for the life
From large bears to small mice
Yet no matter how much you try
You'll never touch the same river twice

In a dark place.
Where the sun never shone.
This is the place.
That I call home.

Where the wind howls.
The roof leaks.
All the windows are broken.
An the floor squeaks.

Where in the dead of winter.
The wind bites my nose.
All year long.
The rats nip my toes.

The wood is rotten.
No fire to stoke.
This is what remains.
of what was broke.

No one else lives here.
I'm all alone.
Singing sad songs.
In a sad empty home.

Why am I here.
These thoughts do grind.
What to do now.
With a broken mind.

I'm lost in the dark
No one there to hear
My cries and screams
Reach no ones ear

I see you all
Standing there
But none of you
Seem to care

Am I worth nothing
Is my life a crime
A black spot on humanity
A little piece of grime

Am I nothing
A bad wast of air
The unwanted third part
Of a happy pair

Just a rag doll
Toss me to the side
Leave me far behind
Lengthen your stride

Later when you say sorry
It won't mean a thing
Hollow words, through my ears
Don't even make a ring

When you beg forgiveness
I will have none left
Because of everything you've done
My last wasted like the rest

I took your crap
I smiled hiding tears
You leaving was my nightmares
Your death was all my fears

But my loyalty is gone
I have no tears to shed
And when you starve and beg
I will give you no bread

To long did I make
Your problems my own
To long for you I cried
The tears you've never shown

I leave you know
When you want me back
Old friend leave
Here's your pack

I want you out
I want you gone
I'm sick of your games
I'm no longer your pawn

Dripping, Dripping
It's all gone
Draining, Falling
As I whisper my song

Sliding down
To the tip
From my knife
Blood does drip

Walking away
My footprints red
Splashing in puddles
That flow from your head

Like a young child
Playing in rain
I assure you sir
I'm perfectly sane

In fact, just maybe
I'm more sane then you
I simply see the world
In a darker hue

Red, black and grey
To be perfectly clear
And that bright red
Always brings a sneer

So I'll dance through puddles
Like a child in rain
Pretty red puddles
Brought by others pain

This world is so dark
So corrupt and unkind
How should anyone
Be able to keep their mind

But I tell you now sir
There is nothing wrong
With the violent words
In my ****** sweet song

This smile on my face
I swear it is real
I have no reason to hide
No reason to conceal

This body at my feet
He was only a toy
Oh, I loved the screams
Of that poor little boy

This world is rotten
So why do you care
How many humans
I ****** and ensnare

Death is natural
I'm just speeding it up
I don't care what weapon
I can even use a cup

Look at the red blood
A thick crimson ocean
And all it requires
Is a quick killing motion

I'm totally sane
My logic is true
But all humans fear
The strange and the new

Why so shocked
Your face has gone green
Does the blood make you sick
Do you wish it unseen

This world is gone
Already doomed to die
So why does one death
Make you cry

I can **** you to
If that's what you want
Uh oh, to late
Hope that's what you sought

My knife in your gut
The blood coming out
You should be happy
Don't frown and pout

Your life is fading
I see it in your eye
I pull my blade out
And wave a goodbye

This world is dying
I'm just upping the pace
Why prolong
Our fading into space

And to most it's a crime
But I won't feel bad
Not if as I do it
There is fun to be had

Because why not enjoy it
The cries and the pain
When from the bloodshed
There's a smile to gain

To bright.
For my eyes.
So let the stars.
Wave their goodbyes.

Smother them.
Like a flame on a wick.
Or douce them with water.
And put them out quick.

Put out the stars.
Let the sky be pitch black.
**** the bright sun.
And don't let it come back.

Some days I think.
That upon my shoulders.
Rests the world.
Like hevy boulders.

And I slowly move.
Through time and space.
My feet drag on the ground.
At my slowest pace.

Time is a slug.
And space to vast.
Always seems to crawl.
It will never move fast.

Then I saw you.
And I could stand sraight.
The world but a feather.
No more under its weight.

You took the weight.
And moved it unto yourself.
But I'll still carry half.
And keep your heart for myself.

Time is still slow.
And space is still vast.
But now that I'm happy.
I don't need to move fast.

Why do I feel worthless?
Why am I so alone?
I know that some people care.
But I still feel I have no home.

I know that it's not everyone.
I know that I have friends.
But my path has so many bends.
To many forks and dead ends.

The hurtful words stick.
And the ones that matter fade.
And I'm stuck in dark illusions.
That my own mind made.

I'm not the type to be loved.
It's what I've always been told.
And every time it's said.
The pain increases ten fold.

I've been short on kind words.
Eventually I just shut up.
No words could describe my pain.
My heart never did catch up.

Slipping sanity
Shattering mind
Disturbing thoughts
And no reason why

Falling apart
1,2,3
I don't understand
so I flee

Into the deepest
Corners of my heart
I watch my glass sanity
Fracture and depart

I don't know why
I don't know why
So I build a brick wall

I build a brick wall
An earth deep
And a sky tall

Terrible thoughts
Leak through the cracks
And I'm terrified
Of the joy I now lack

I don't know why
I feel so sad
I don't know why
It's so easy to get mad

I don't know why
When I'm alone with my mind
The dark of the world
Attacks me from behind

Breath it in
Sharp and crisp
A small smell of that
No more than a wisp

Eyes snap wide open
A ticking nearby
A loud breathing here
A sleeping sigh

Feel the cold
The window so clear
The night sky you can see
The dark you can't hear

Listen for crickets
Chirping outside
They have no blanket
In which they can hide

Eyes so wide open
Laying in bed
Under a blanket
A restless head

Thinking on things
During day you thought not
Thinking for answers
Never getting what you sought

One in the morning
Eyes still to wide
Dreams ran away
Found places to hide

You see it all
Hear every sound
When no waking mind
In near to be found

You yawn once more
Still not asleep
Everyone else in the house
Yet to make a peep

The night will go one
Weather you sleep or not
They kept you awake
Each dammed thought

The sun starts to rise
Sleep never came
They insist to keep you tired
To your thoughts its a game.

Rain falls through the sky
Each small, little drop
And falls into puddles
With a soft little plop

The rain looks so sad
The sky covered in cloud
Strong claps of thunder
Turning quiet to loud

Why does the sky weep
And turn its face grey
If you listen to the wind
What would it say

Mighty, fast winds
That fall from the sky
That bends down the trees
Is the earths sigh

But as the sky weeps
It waters the ground
And soon after it stops
Not another sound

The tears of the sky
Dampen the earth
Giving green life
And Mother Nature rebirth

Every tear that falls
Washes out pain
Makes way for joy
The beauty of rain

I do hope you're a *******
Because the smile on your face is horribly sadistic
And I'll make it hurt
As I carve it from your face

Wake up, wake up.
It's a brand new day.
Get up, get up.
Let's go out and play.

Sit down, sit down.
In the damp Dewey grass.
Lay down, lay down.
And watch the clouds pass.

Look up, look up.
Into the sky.
Look there, look there.
I think the clouds might cry.

Look out, look out.
Down comes the rain.
Run fast, run fast.
From drops smaller than a grain.

We're fine, we're fine.
We made it inside.
We're dry, we're dry.
Look at the bright side.

Look to the stars.
Look at the sky.
Let's watch the clouds.
As they float by.

Let's stay here forever.
Watching the sky.
Seeing the stars.
And wishing to fly.

Why don't we hold hands.
As we watch the sky.
We can watch each other.
As we learn to fly.

Let's you and me.
Both grow wings.
We can be like the angle.
And listen as it sings.

He'll sing a song.
For just you and me.
Then we'll come back to earth.
And rest in a tree.

We'll watch the sun.
As it crosses the sky.
We'll wait for the moon.
So we can again fly.

We'll flap our wings.
And leave the earth.
We'll watch a sunrise.
Of immeasurable worth.

Not all the gold in the world.
Could make me go.
Because I'm here with you.
You made my heart grow.

Let's stay here forever.
Me in your arms.
Watching your face.
Seeing only your charms.

Check in the closet
And under the bed
I thought something moved
Was it in my head...?

The shadows have eyes
That branch is a claw
That clown on the chair
It moved, I saw!

Was that a scream that I heard
Or just the screen door
My sanity is slipping
I can't take anymore.

Cover my head
And wait for the sun
It's all in my head
And there's nowhere to run

The blood.
Still flows.
Through the veins.
That it knows.

My heart still beats.
But it's battered and bruised.
Showing all signs.
Of being abused.

I tried to fix it.
Can you tell.
Then I hid it.
Inside a shell.

I don't want your love.
I don't want your sorrow.
I don't give a ****.
About a new tomorrow.

Just leave me here.
In this pit I dug.
I don't want your pity.
I don't need a hug.

I don't want a new life.
Or a new start.
Leave me to sit here.
With my broken heart.

I feel it
The spontaneous and wonderful hope
That hangs in the air with each breath
With each lingering word comes "if"
Because every action is a fork in the road
And that fork leads to more of its kind
And as you stand there on the verge of each decision

I feel it
The spontaneous and wonderful hope
But a fork is a fork for a reason
And on the other side is a horrible fear
Because a hope is just a hope
A longing that you turn the right way
The way that will land you on a rainbow with a smile on your face

I feel it
The spontaneous and wonderful hope
And the potential for it to be
Absolutely
Destroyed
