daddy's little girl
forever by his side
sitting on his shoulders
she's so incredibly high

ribbons in her curls
with rosy cheeks to match
so giddy and playful
with daddy, playing catch

she's sweet sixteen today
diamonds round her neck
surrounded by friends and
daddy, trying so hard to protect

graduation day is big
medal and diploma in hand
she steps onto the stage
and winks at her old man

that ring around her finger
as golden as her heart
will never replace the love he has
for baby daughter jas
for daddy

the world woke up silent today.
no whispers on the pavement, nor
a whistle of wind between branches.
even the train rolled by in silence.
it's like the entire world had been hushed by the
snowfall.

I am surrounded by
u l t r a v i o l e t .
Countless vacancies that cannot be
outlined or coloured in,
but my perception of them is uncanny.
I know them like the back of my hand
and yet,
invisible and intangible.
I see bright lights.
The walls fade into emptiness -
nowhere land.
Not constantly, but here and there.
Blank spaces so bright
they would blind you if you saw them.
I cannot remember what once filled these
surges of nothingness,
if anything at all.
Picture frames, perhaps.
Faded memories.
Or maybe just a certain colour I never quite learned to like.
I cannot remember.
It is all too familiar now,
this      ultraviolet      way of life.

she's moved on, and I feel sorry
that you have to watch her love
and be loved by another
she thought you were the most
amazing boy
in the world and if she could pick
one boy
in the world she would have picked
you.
but sadly, you are just another part of her past
more and more faded each day, with every sunset
and someday, she will find him
the one she deserves
and he will see that she is the most
amazing girl
in the world and that you should have picked
her
when you had the chance.

what is it
that drives you
what do you seek
what urges you
what encourages you
what makes you twist and gag
what agonizes you
tortures you and
terrorizes you
what builds you
what strengthens you
what pushes you to
reach higher, farther
what is it
that makes you cry
what tears into you
what speaks to you
what reminds you
of yourself
what colour are you
what time of day
do you shine your
loudest
what is your melody
what breaks you
what puts you to sleep
what feeds you
what shakes you
what shade are you
what is it that
makes you

welcome to sin city
where the lord, himself
will allow it all
anything goes
***** out
knees deep
take your hair down
******* and bellhops and
lust
welcome to sin city
where the faucets
run blood
you can have it all
or you can loose it all
risk takers and money makers
screams and shrieks and
moans
welcome to sin city

isn't it funny how I laugh so
hysterically and that the harder I
laugh and the longer I smile
the louder I can hear myself crying inside

isn't it silly that I wear this much
makeup and heels this high but
when I wipe it all off and take it all
down I am merely just plain

isn't it crazy that I do all of these things
because society has told me that I
have to and I want to and I need to if
I want to be adored and I do

isn't it frightful that secretly
I hate myself for conforming to
their guidelines but I love myself for
being so ******* adored
