Sleepwalking through life.
Sleepwalking through strife.
Daydreaming about happier times,
Then you came into my life.

I've never known this joy
Stemmed from the love of a boy,
Who holds me close and makes me smile--
My heart he won't destroy.

Stay in my life. Keep me awake.
My heart is yours; it's yours to take.

My reviver-- that's what you are.
My awakener-- brighter than any star.

Sleepwalking is no more because of who you are.

Blurry.

Slur pee
I hide all this pain inside of my eyes,
Every day the tides rise;
I'm going blind,
I'm going blind.

My happiness is just a blurred outline,
Carried on the wind's cries;
And so am I,
And so am I.

In clouded sky, I can't explore my mind
My head's low, my head's high;
Dip, dive. Dip, dive.

I'll endure the flood that's bound to arrive,
Or drown inside my eyes;
I'm going blind,
I'm going blind.

Amid such choruses of desire there she spun,
dressed in tulle long hair undone.
She waltzed and twisted upon the crowd,
what an effortless aura that she endowed.
And when she came to pause before you,
her copper eyes oh how they stunned you.
And in the final moments of thy ball,
She danced away through the parties throng.

if they ask you about me,
tell them
"she was the only one
who loved me with honesty
and i broke her"

Prey

Hannah Payne
Everybody's got a story to tell
Everybody's got something to hide
Everybody's got something to say
Everybody finds someone to divide.

And the beast is finally far away from me
But it's not so far if it's stuck in my mind.
He's got half his head underneath his baby's bed
Full of stuff,
He'll soon grow up to find.

And there's something hunting on the streets again
It's following the coloured prints on a dress.
Another flashback yet again begins
Swimming in my head and through the red
In my veins.

Everybody's got something to share
Everybody's got something to take
Everybody's got something to sell
Everybody's got their forms of prey.

The distance between heart and brain
Can stretch for miles- then again,
At times the journey's half as short
As one would willingly purport.

On day as these, when autumn sun
Paints the leaves with liquid dun,
The distance spans eternity
To surmount sense and certainty.

I trace the swirling, falling leaves;
The ghostly trail my exhale breathes.
This change in colors brings anew
The nonsense in my heart for you.

Sometimes I feel like writing
but sometimes it takes days,
for me to think of something
and bring the pen to page.

She spoke words that would melt in your hands
But instead her lips melted into yours
All of the sudden she forgot all of her plans
All of the sudden you opened up all of her doors
Just like that she's no longer poor
you make music sound good again poems form in my head again

vivian cloudy
Your darkness
I use for paint
I'm an artist
I sketch a fate
Dip my brush
Oh complexity,
the type of hue
that excites me
Watch me mold
as I please
Wash your feet
I get you clean
Drain the rag
I watch it bleed
Oh, dysfunction
Oh, sympathy
Stand by me
I’ll carve your path
Snip the tail
Rid the mask
Make me proud
Please rise
Dead man, give me life!
Devil skin
I patch and salt
Stain a smile
Yet by default
A rotted meat
is heart and soul
And at my feet
your monster thirst
Bad boys, bad boys / Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do / When they come for you…
