Loneliness and it's depth
This One Dec 2012
Illegible words engraved into the weathered stone in his chest
He can only believe he etched them there himself
Oh, so long ago
As a warning, or a sign
Now, he can only wonder what they mean
As he traces the markings with his fingers
Feeling like he could linger there forever
Just contemplating what they mean
Aching for a love, for affection
And suffocating in the mysteries of his own heart

SOS
This One Nov 2012
SOS
I shiver, scratch
My pulse is just a little fast
My breathing calm and smooth with little moments of extra sporadic inhales-exhales
Distraction, distraction, distraction, distraction, distraction...  t  i  m  e  !
There’s a black box in the far corner of my room…
Can you hear it?
I should not have taken the headphones off…

All I Want for Christmas Is
This One Nov 2012
Courage

Hi
I’m still me
Albeit cowardly
If there is a lion in me
That’s something I wish to see

For if a lion’s roar could find my lips
Maybe my lips could find their way to yours
If our arms found each other and your head my chest
You’d hear a kitten’s purr I’m sure

Of that, yes
I am Sure

Shadowed
This One Nov 2012
Sever us apart at the heels and would I still feel you near
Mimicking my movements…
Allowing yourself to be influenced by my thoughts
And by my speech off my tongue
But my song is not one that can be sung

A being does not come from a forced mould
An individual becomes a work of art on their own
I never wanted for your shape to resemble anything like mine
I never desired to change you, I never tried

But now because of you our originality has ceased
It’s as if you’ve tried to become a part of me
Now I couldn’t let that be…
I could never lose what makes me… me

My image is in the mirror
But my nature is not
You’re not my shadow…
Follow me and I’ll only get you lost

Quiet Sub
This One Nov 2012
I'll take a moment to draw our attention to
That coldness in your chest, a little to the left
You think you'd try not to live a complete lie
But honestly put to the test, you'd fail at your best
Your consistency has died

And the outlook... doesn't look... so good
No room for pride… in your vile insides

You won't know the day if my smile should ever fade
You'll just walk on by, no one on your side
There's nothing left of you to salvage
You don't know how to cry, you're really dead inside
You should get... what you... deserve… everyday
                                                                                            
Now you're helpless… feeling defenseless
You vile ****… where have you come from

Your smile is deceiving, your words misleading
But I see your true face and what a disgrace
Let's rid you of that mask' no more facade
We'll give you a taste… it is your turn to break
This is what it feels like

No sweet dreaming... only screaming
Your rights abused... no love for you

There'll be no redeeming,  only receding
That point has long passed with no turning back
Oh so what now… you've grown a pair…
It's too late for that, all that's left is black
You're being left behind
Goodbye

— The End —
