I'm trapped...
Trapped inside this ball of deceit bouncing off rubber
Suffocate me...
Leave me in a dumpster so that I might be taken to an island with no others

My ears have saved me once again
Blind I would rather be than to not hear soothing sultry sounds
On the contrary, I would be more content if not to hear the lies that pour from your shanties you call hearts

Trust, I have very little of, though it runs all through my blood
I'm close to giving up on all of you
Me, myself, and my irate moods
All thanks to you

Sometimes I wanna drive away and leave everyone behind
It's not me, it's all of you, most of the time
Wrote this a long time ago.

The web sways, but it doth venture away
It stays, as it may, catching creatures that play
Waiting for that one day you and I may meet

Stuck in this sticky essence with no place for our feet
We cannot escape our fate that awaits
To be devoured by an arachnid, no pleas will be accepted
Can we stall what is to come?

Our wings have failed to keep us alive
We've flown right into a trap, like a bear to a bee hive
An exchange of words would be nice...
Even an, "Everything will be alright."

Nothing is fine when you've met your maker
Everything will seem inadequate
Nothing can fill the slot

You hold my hand as I hold my breath
If it were to escape, our death would be meaningless
For I would have soiled the best of the worst
I cannot break this wretched curse

The bite doth cause me agony, but my inability to let it be
My hand slips from yours, my eyes can't see
How strange to die alone when I'm with company
This was inspired by a spider web and the odd situations I tend to get myself in.

Life throws you curveballs once you're up to bat
Twisting and turning; better hold steady the bat above the mat
The wrong technique could blow the game; focus and be ready
Hold your ground, breathe slowly; remain calm and steady
What's coming your way is often unexpected
Starting with an invitation for entertainment that cannot be rejected
To a darkened home from a romantic scene ****** from some fantasy
You've imagined to feel something so right over and over again
But once you've left first, you realize home is your destination for where you begin and where you end

What's done is done; you really lost when you think you won
But even one victory doesn't shadow the vacancy that still lingers
The emptiness fills you and it shows through shaky fingers
The romantic scene you dreamed of has faded quickly
The details of it all you remember vividly
Reliving the fantasy, devoid of all reality
Home plate is not a safe place to be
I wrote the first line of this and decided to continue on the same path.

A burning desire for change;
A lack of courage or will
A loathing for what revolves the world;
A face printed on a pine green bill

A fixed way of life;
A reoccurring depression
A longing for something nonexistent;
An evolving experience to teach a lesson

A loss of interest;
A depletion of confidence
A slew of captivating faces;
An overactive conscience

A bond lost to dishonesty;
An end to faith in humanity
A new outlook, new perspective;
A bundle of positive thoughts collected

Am I still welcome here?

I only felt appreciated when you were near

Alas, we have grown apart

And left to ache, my heart
Wrote this on tumblr about my ex.

My love for you knows no bounds
Regardless of how upsetting you tend to be
One more confession following one more round
I'm far from blind but can't quite see

A connection I miss, intimacy and truth
Your voice was music to my ears
Essentially we are now escaping our youth
Mentally, you've got a couple more years

Promises were made that cease to exist
(Promises were made to be broken?)
I disagree though, I'm to blame for this
Fear is my ailment for why I haven't spoken

"There's nothing to fear but fear itself"
Straight from the horse's mouth
I've failed to comply with my word as well
Still filled with excess doubt

You managed to remove that away from a while
Guaranteed, a job well done
With even just a crack of a smile
I received my prize, I proudly won

The game is over, no lives left
No mushrooms to revive me now
If it was that simple, I'd hit 'select'
And 'retry' with better understanding how

Starting over begins the same
But the direction and obstacles change
A new route is followed in vain
For not enough experienced has been gained

You're such a charmer, I know
I still haven't fully broken your spell
I'm currently trying my hand at laying low
I question your thoughts; by now you should know me well

I want inside your head and heart
Where does your pain emerge from?
My curiosity is insatiable once I've felt a spark
I will continue to listen until your confession is done

I don't force a smile, but it's not completely real
I can maintain being civil with you
When you attempt to hide things you failed to conceal
My submissive attitude is what I must subdue

Why do I continue to feel this ache?
Does mental illness play a possible factor?
The idea of romanctic love I can't seem to shake
Yet if it's real, it inevitably won't matter

According to them, I don't know who you are
Yet I feel I've known all along
And even so, I've fallen this hard
I simply hope you'll still play me that song
Oh yeah, I play video games.

When times get rough, we try to break and run
There's nothing to fear but fear itself
You can't succeed if you don't try
Positive thinking will work wonders

I can't help but make things awkward
I'm unsure of how to act
I still perceive you as mine
It's hard letting go, I'm slipping off track

It seems solitude won't help us grow
It obviously hasn't worked before
Why not depend on each other?
There's always something more

I believe we can do this, together
Join forces, slay our demons
A change is gonna come
Let's sail through this stormy weather

I'll be your crutch if you be my sight
I won't give up without a fight
I implore you to reconsider
I can help you see the light

Take my hand, teamwork never fails
I promise we won't lose each other
We'll discover all what this entails
And experience happiness within ourselves
