When you disrespected our connection,                                                    I  took my love in another direction                                                   Leaving  you lost in your confusion,                                                         left  you to drown in your delusions                                                                 I  did my best to remain  positive,                                                     despite you creating  a false narrative                                                          Trying to make others see your side,                                                     while  operating from  a sense of pride                                             I  compromised all of my values,                                                                while  you left me to be without  you                                                      planning that in my despair,                                                                         I'd run to you hoping you still cared                                                                    You did your best to keep me down,                                                              but now you're looking like the clown                                                     because  of your warped bid for attention                                                                       you broke us with your  selfish intentions

Your Selfish Intentions

took 3 years for our orbit to weave such serendipity then you quickly leave took too long me for to finally see such negligence, green to brown leaves took every ounce of me to not bottle it away such strength it took to continue the day took too long for me to finally be ok dangerous, nefarious, warped awareness welcome back to the grey

Changing hues
I was always frightened hiding from what happened to happen constantly stressed no come down for the wicked apprehensive to tenderness running from abandonment no rest for the wicked I was always dodging insults, punches, and negativity didn't believe that love would kiss me on the cheek these hounds, hounds of love are after me I can’t come out of my warped fantasy I run and jump; the sea catches me too afraid to confront what is happening

Hounds of Love
self discovery, is a strange path a winded one its hard to grasp and will escape your fingers at any possible chance it has why is it that the true version of yourself tries so hard to get away skewed by society warped by our own reality perhaps our real selves, aren't real at all how do i tell who is the real me

self discovery
the nights devoid of holiness always seemed to find itself tangled with the crestfallen visage always plastered on mine. a close acquaintance of mine would be the moon-- glimmering and illuminating the regrets and mistakes emblazoned deeply onto every fibre of my being. my dreaded moment has come-- the clock made itself known; reverberating through the fragile threshold i dared to call my home. once more, it made me a fool for believing i could be liberated from this labyrinth.

WARPED.
Pupils gaze into the sun, I am stunned, Unearth the power of Raa in your eyes, Revel! As we lay for long hours, sunned To death in the warm embrace of your fires. As we wrap our lives around each other's Souls as stinging nettles cradle soft skin, Our life embers trickle, rumbles, smothers- Nothing. Just- blood. Scars, filth under cover. And you tickle the hair under my chin... Time swells and the kind universe cradles- I can't- stomach this ******* orange juice anymore! I choke on the bits, I told you before, How many times- and where is that ***** What do you mean- “Lucy has gone before” Good Lord, where has that ***** gone now. That ***** Cotton wrapped ‘round faithful fairy fables— Grandad? Is that you? What did you send me for? This dream bred a silk no spider could weave, Heavenly nirvana, none could conceive... You. Child like, notions of freedom. So naive, Your ****** up little attitude is hard to conceive. Lucy? Lucy, is that you? -You ***** tease! I am confused, did you drug me again?- I shall follow wherever you may lead... -You’re no better than when you’re on your knees- Don’t leave me, like a little frightened Fen... Just ask and I should spend my life on my knees. My light is yours to – blank – Tie the rope to the tree and ******* hang. Lucy must be with Grandad, that’s why I Can't find them- can't find my love- my bee. How long until this moment passes by Lucy, do me the Honour. Marry me. Lucy? Lucy.

‘I Love You'- A Poem by Dementia
Filthy lies Spread across Blank canvases Young minds Spoiled Like milk Left out in the sun

Ruined Youth
My body doesn’t feel like my own It feels as foreign as the forest Empty and quiet Unsure of the way back home My conscious feels distorted Warped beyond my belief Balancing on my frontal lobe Threatening to fall My limbs feel like tattered branches Clinging desperately to the trunk Only the bark is so thin and frail That it can barely support even itself I am not myself anymore

I am not myself
Heart skips like a warped record, trembles over scarred vinyl until "I love you" tastes incomplete: (I)                love                 you I                  (love)               you I                   love                (you). My Swan Song mewls off key, cascades across the marred terrain of my soul in a thick lacquer of tears. Notes flatline in unison with my waning pulse (waning, like the face of the moon on the night of my eighteenth birthday). My breath resigns to static, dances in slow decrescendos-- sputters its way towards nothingness, slipping rapidly from my consciousness until I no longer hold any recollection of the music (or the poetry).

Swan Song (Warped)
Let’s waste our youth on these mindless games On these pixelated screens Warped from reality All. Of. Us. Let’s pretend our world doesn’t exist And when it burns to the ground We’ll be left standing in the ashes wondering what went wrong

Addicted
The warped woods were unique in there standing, as when a certain assentation was perceived they would no longer reach for that unattainable   objective of what was beyond there ambition. So they would seek in sense the joining of there aspirations to be more than what was perceived. When one of such long longevity was to be entangled with another then a connection was implemented. In the holds of a veil, only stars shine on the appendages that wait with leafs of needing of daylights caressing. But as night slept within that moment a conjunction of seeding woke upon the dawns yawning. The aurora swept over the conjoined branches that while separate were void of happening. Upon the moments that the rays of sunrise kisses caressed everywhere, then the destitute became vibrant and what wasn't was. The Woods were of two root systems, when conjoined whisper's of the planets  echoes where opened and a footstep was a milestone of miles instead of impressions. the animals were like children playing upon this system. Always making sure that when the sun decided it was time for its rays of life to sleep that they were back at the focal point. Those not lost were sleeping well, but those that were eclipsed as night suffocated the land of sight were stranded. With every motion of the warped woods, each day was a verity of randomness. But each was cautious of there time so not to linger in lost solitude, to never taste the air of there homeland. The woods of everywhere but steps to the unknown.

Just another photo, with just another frame Showing pictures of warped memories when time was just a name Unbound by restrictions, not tied by the cord That makes you stop and contemplate the risk or the reward I was happier when I was young, Oblivious and playing dumb Forgiving and forgetting little things That didn't really involve my mum I never really knew my Dad And sometimes it still makes me mad How disconnection affects affection And how when he left I used to be sad I'd see my Father step on the plane And the hollow in my chest just wouldn't fade Even as young as then I knew he couldn't stay He had a job to keep food on the plate And my Mother? Yeah, I used to like her When I was younger and didn't really know much better What kind of Mother locks you in your room using a rope? And shuts you in with nightmares hanging on walls, slightly sloped? I wonder what it would be like if my parents were still together If maybe they'd be happy or things would be any better Never mind, I guess I'm just reflecting on life And the pointlessness unlike the razor point of a knife I carved my own skin into a memory of darkness In times where I was not my best and was so sick of advancing Through a life that lost it's point, hell, it's edge I stop and think what it'd be like if depression and I had never met I lose focus on the better things, they tell you to be positive But how do you do this when you're conditioned to see the negative? By a world that never liked you, that disconnected you from kin And treated like the regular trash you ditch into the bin? Things never seemed to go my way, so I gave up trying And this explains why I'd be up late at night, crying I'd try to sing a lullaby and fall asleep to it But my voice was so hoarse I could never do it. People say my life ain't bad, that's because I'm smilin' Cracking jokes about dope and **** they don't know that I'm hidin' Behind the face they wanna see, that some have come to hate Especially a recent ex girlfriend and others as of late I'd say it was coincidence, but I guess it's just a test Is man or mother Nature truly, 100% the best? Push on through this life, I'm doing it so you can too Don't let people's gossip and ****** opinions get to you They ain't worth the time, nor the cranial space They just trash, so move past, it's your own mind to waste So do it as you will, just be who you want And don't be a warped picture that reminds you what you've lost

roasting asphalt oven sweat and petroleum pungent a festival in the truest sense diversity beyond societal bland tolerance arches over rainbow colored heads banging to the beat the great goddess smiles as we dance she knows true love when she sees it sing to the dying sun draping white shoulders afire above lahar fields green again successions of ash and germination evidence of universal rotation barren to blessed sway to the eternal rhythm bass heartbeat in our chests

Warped
You know this world is warped When you have kids singing popular songs about *** That's all you hear on the radio nowadays That's what you see devouring us from within I do not want my daughter growing up in such a plagued state She will be a woman of change And my sons will be the beacon of light to carry that trope away Into a more apposite society If i even decide to have kids, that is. But this comes to mind when i think about kids. Pretty normal, right?

Warped World
"They admire us" a bucktoothed pirate stinking liquor and wearing clothes unwashed straight for an year at least, beams with such ill founded pride; pirates are called other names that sound ironically like accolades! Protective Gods wielding punitive powers too, on the other hand, did you notice, are feared like autocratic patriarchs, and hated secretly for their temper, a long standing problem, this! a clear case of warped  human imagination, I'd  guess why not God almighty, find some time to set right this one problem vexing us for so long!

If you are looking for a perfect irony
Put your head down and werk. Put your feet up and twerk. Run quickly and watch the   pavement blur. Don't ask questions. Love you answers, and explanations, your valuations, and justifications. In the mood for pizza? Cause the shop's on your left. In 0.5 miles, it will be on your left. ON YOUR LEFT. YOUR DESTINATION IS ON THE LEFT. Rerouting... the protocol is exactly THIS, not THAT. So just do it. checkmark. Nike said so. Just buy it. we suggest it. Just try the Quesarilla #tacobell #mexicanfood #foodporn #pleasegetmemoreviews How bout a selfie where you look miserable and unhealthy. But you're a celebrity. Rub your likeness on me and I'll get you publicity. #fire #ice #rain What happened to real pain? And did dissonance disappear? Why must I hide my tears? And be bright and happy And ogle guys with fohawks trimmed so carefully. And live a lie, of numbers and rye bread is the worst, sandwiched in bursts. We all live and we all hurt and we all deserve a life like hers. who you say? Kim Kardashian, of course.
