I pour myself into
your glass each night,
a toxic taste, I beg
for you to choke on.

You drain our bottle
dry, drinking desert
laps but still thirsting
for Pacific oceans.

Delving into firework
taste-buds, savouring
how we spill so easily in
nights drunken palms.

Telling me I'm cheap
stuff, liquid eyes that
keep you sober, but are
still a tempting sip.

As the world of your dreams lays shattered on the floor
Will you dig its grave into my broken heart?
So that our broken, imperfect pieces,
*Will never be far apart
Often times I don't know what I'm going to write about, so I usually end up writing things I have already said, trying to say them in another way.

The art of losing yourself is a very slow and complex situation that happens over a long period of time. For some people that could be years and it seems like it happens in a day, and others it could happen in a day and seem like years went by before they even realized what happened.

Either way, some how it takes a while, whether it's reality or only in our mind, we eventually lose ourselves somewhere in life.

We like to blame false lovers for stealing our heart, our thoughts, and consuming our whole mind, but honestly it's just our soul chewing away at the doubt inside of us trying with every bite to numb the pain.

We choose to blame the lack of income and the multitude of outcome that leaves our pockets turing over and over for our pain.  We expect money to be right at our command, at the tips of our fingers every night, and stacked in our account with tons interest to water the greens.

We feed off of happy memories, expecting life to only be them, and anything other is a disappointment. We are so blind that we can't even appreciate the color that has already adapted in our brains.

The art of losing yourself is worth it, because in the end, you will always find yourself and a little bit more than what you ever dreamed of.

I used to draw cages,
Cages as open as your mouth,
But as empty as your words.
Cages as cold as winters touch,
But not as frozen as your heart.
Cages so dark and lonely,
A mirror of myself.
I used to draw cages,
Cages that I could never fill,
Because they were
only drawings,
That I drew
Inside
my cell
When they buried me in the dark, I was frightened.
I didn’t like the taste of earth.
And I was so thirsty.
Some people are no good with plants,
Even the hardiest shrubs
Wither and wilt in their careless hands.
You aren’t one of them.
When no-one else could see,
You took such good care of me.
Water, warmth and love.
These are my needs, but I had no voice
With which to ask; without you
I would have remained inert
A lost life, in the dirt.
See now, how I blossom?
Just a shoot, but I will astound them all
With my beauty, in time.
Thank you for caring for me,
Thank you for helping me to grow.
For my Agent of Fortune, Paul M Chafer.
Sad woman, don't wave goodbye
The other-side is a lie
Sadness ends on death's lullaby
It's true that there is no pain afterlife
But you don't die alone
With you dies the person I'm friends with
So call me
Let my love embrace your whole
Your mother will sneak in your room, wrap her face with your bed-sheet and cry
Maybe she'll dig her face in your pillows and beg god to bring you back to life
That will go on for days
Your father; the strongest, will break down to pieces and never get back to his feet again
So scoot around the city and see
Thousands fancy the life that you're living
Death is not the only end to pain,
Love for life is
So fall in love with yourself
You're a friend,
My best friend
A daughter, a sister and the list goes on
Close your eyes to not see but you cannot get cold enough to not feel
You cannot die alone when you're so many
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin
The Doors and Queen
Dream Theatre's Dance of Eternity
And my wide jaws upon seeing DARKTHRONE in your playlist
Peanut butter and burned brown breads
Your evil smile when we laid the kitchen rat to rest
Kiss on the dance floor and how we avoided each other for days
How I laughed at everything that you wore and your bedroom's paint flakes
My first bottle of Malibu
Our first high and the succubus inside you
Gift me a lobotomy before you leave
Or erase everything from my memories
I will never be happy without you
Memories won't die with you

Temporary highs of your being
Take out reality
I'm forever tripping on the acid of your façade

I sober up
That is until you crawl back
Back into my head
And leach out all rational thoughts

I'm addicted to your high
And I'm ready to overdose
On your lies
