Done burned spit ends deep in my mind ,
I did it all for you,
I can't believe any word you say even if its true,
Can't sacrifice for love , what ever is above
will forgive me,
Just know if it goes down, every ex that ever hated are memories,
It might be you..

I can't love you , I can't love you, its like
being tortured way down in hell,
And oh my ******* gawd! Your lies will
throw me in jail,
I bring peace and love in this hated world , I hope
You could see,
Just know if it goes down, every ex that ever hated are memories,
It might be you,

You hate me , I can't love no more,
When we started you said you were for sure,
Go tell lies to your friends some more,
Can't love no more, can't love no more,
When we started you said you were for sure,
Go tell lies to your friends some more.

Sip sip,
The trees don't look as good as they used to,
They used to,
The sparkling bliss that is your eyes , when they arrive ,
Its like a dream just pulling me in,
breathing life into my lungs like no other herb,
I will leave my feelings at the door with one word,
And thats clear, and then if this clear enough,
Make your bed and lay in it when you see that could give two *****,
Good riddens,
Relaxation got me feeling high like off the ground to other realms,
I feel like , my body is being detoxed as well speak like,
So wavy I feel like going to sleep like,
It had me right.

you were wild in my mind
from the start
your words crashed like waves
against my beating heart
you'll always be there
with me in the dark
you don't know how much I love you
as a broken soul
we couldn't fall apart

at night you can find me
planted onto the tile floor
the shower water gushing against my hunched back feels like a hug
each trickle resembles your fingers
- i'm trying to erase you,
scrub away the marks you've left on my wrists,
the bruised knees
but your threatening undertone
rings in my head
stings the sterile lights,
they will always flicker.

The sunset by the sea
My feet naked, embedded
in the sand
As the waves greet me with ferocity

Punching back with clenched fists
Saltwater foam, elegant comb
through my hair
The ocean with all its depth condescending

All the colours of the universe in
a sky tainted, so gloriously painted
like a fresco
Of an olden cathedral I'd never seen

Sweat and salt and sand in my clothes
My eyes swollen, their whites stolen
unconsciously
Innocent are not the tears of the sea
---

Slow as the waves recede
with the retreating tide
So does the venom in my veins
and come loose the nails in my head
The shore sprayed with new hope
The night sky of a new moon arrives
Darkness heralds doubt
Yet I'm relieved to be
in the absence of the light
that seeked to
blind me last night
