I am a poet
And you are my canvas
My blood is the ink
And you are my paper

Our hearts beat as one
As each stanza flows
Our souls intertwined
In words no one else knows

You are my dream
A poem meant to be
With each stroke of my pen
I now set you free

A dancing collision
That we all embrace
One that blinds our vision
Another's heart we chase

A "soulmate" we are after
For this we journey beyond our grasp
We look for that spark, just a tiny ember
To ignite our love in hope it forever lasts

Blinded by blood
I do anything for you
A relation that whirs my head
Until I am sick and I spew

Now with this mirror
I see the knife you stab through
You're the cause of my death coming nearer
And yet I'm the problem, the ******* issue

The hating words of love
That come from your mouth
You cover your tracks with the glove
That you wear, you're a tyrant, a louse!

But I won't sink so low
I won't return the favor
For your death will be slow
Cause no more am I your savior

I'll just walk out the door
I won't even turn back
I know I'm worth so much more
No longer am I your snack

Good luck with your new life
Who knows what's in store
Without your radiation
Life grows deep within my core

To the woman who holds my heart dear
No matter how far I am, for you I am always here
You're the angel who picks me up
When my times are set in rough
You know my melody
Of which you sing to me
Calming me into a warm soft dream
My thoughts rubbed with a silky smooth cream
You are every highlight of which is me
My shine when I want to flee
We are each others rock to lean
To stand through all that we've been

The woman who holds my heart through and through
The one I'll love unconditionally is true
Mum hold my hand
As we walk through this endless land

Paper filled
Of heart and soul
Empowering words
Mending our whole

finding no rhyme nor reason
trying not to give in to fear
is this just a passing of season
the reason you're no longer here

only faint memory graces these pages
long gone song filled our hearts and our minds
time slipping away with the ages
lost alice...i'm still hoping to find

              ...lost alice
        once stood on this corner

                                   ...lost alice
                                laid open her scars

   ...lost alice
threw caution to the wind

                          ...lost alice
                  do you know where you are

you stood in your whirlwind of poetry
often letting the demons give you a ride
did they come back to pick you up
are they now in the front by your side

"this is what happens when i step off the path"
the last words you tore from life's page
if i knew what door i'd let you out
or are you lost alice...the rest of your days

Monster, Monster
In my head
Torment me
Until I'm dead

Twisting my mind
To your very will
Crippling my soul
To do your evil

Monster, monster
Can't take anymore
Ripping me down
Dead to the core

Its time for our end
I bid you farewell
I'll drag you down
To the pits of hell
