I get trapped
By ropes braided with scales
And hiss it whispers
"Love"

Like the venom it bites me with
Makes me hallucinate.

Now I'm with you in a room
I'm not sure if I'm the interrogator
When I ask these questions.
You say it depends on the confidence you carry
I say my confidence vanished with your "no".
You say fine then the interrogation is over.

Fleeting are feelings of euphoria
Come in a fleet of reality.
Fire the pessimism
Oh! We got a hit!
Now he feels uncertainty
Insecurity
Trapped

In a room with you and I enjoy it
Five minutes is all I need to feel euphoria
Come in with a fleet of reality
Fire the pessimism
Oh!  It hurts even more now,

I'm in a room with you and I enjoy it.

Counting the reasons I fell for you
Watching reasons fray
Even if every reason was true
Then they all left me broken in two
And you left me broken just the same

Call the crimes of your magic
That got the best of me
It all looks better from the outside
The posts and pictures we hide behind
Because blind love is the best way to believe

"Loving You Blind" -JP

Suffocated
In this heavy air
Choked
With more lies
I shut
All doors to my heart
You won't find me
For the window to my soul
Has been closed
There's nothing
You can see in me
Just this pure darkness
With the voices of nightmare
Run away
Because I might stain you
With my sins
Don't turn back
For I might burn you
In my hell
Just spit your shame on me
For this curse
Gladly ...... I'll carry to my grave

She said she wanted a Knight in shining armour
But what she doesn't realize.
All the Dents, Cuts, and Scratches
Are due to the effort I applied to better myself
Each Battle, Conflict, and Barrier
May have left their marks on me
And yet here I stand

The armour I wear may be
Grimy, Gritty, and Dull
But I wouldn't wish it any other way
Because that would mean
To erase all I worked for
And all that I strive to be.

She said she wanted a Knight in Shining armour
Lean, Clean, and Pristine.
Well I wish her the best
On her foolish quest
Because I have more battles to war.

It's there again
The feeling of rejection planted inside my heart
I feel it growing bigger and bigger with every passing day
                       like a tree
     the roots are tearing me apart
it hurts not only emotionally but physically too
and it's all happening just because of you

          Filling my lungs with dust
         I can't breathe, I can't speak
Despite the torture my eyes are still filled with hopeless lust

     Now I am covered up with leaves    
The branches are slowly suffocating me
           Pinning me to the ground
                I need to get back up
           I need to escape somehow
      What if this feeling never leaves?

was once my downfall
for you, i gave up all
was once my muse
to "us"—why'd you refuse?

God how I miss her
And wish she was with me
I ****** away mystery when I had her
And now I miss her hair

Triggered in a barrel is where the fire starts
Powder on a pyre can make a tired heart

Dear Lover,

You pretend to love me
Even though inside your heart you want to tear me
Tear me to pieces
Shred me like a piece of paper

You pretend to love me
Hold me in your arms
Like I belong

You put on an act
That wont last long

From,
A Broken Heart

Let a seed grow into a tree,
Let a tree grow into a forest,
Let a stream turn into an ocean,
Let grains of sand turn into a desert,
Let a breeze turn into a hurricane.

Let her thoughts dwell in you and witness your demise.
