The Love you say you seek
is not what you deserve
The Love you seem to need
is the kind you'd throw away
The Love you say you seek
does not deserve your Love, no
The Love you say you have
is not the Love you've handed out

But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again;

How the young
are so eager to drop their pants
and spread their legs
and call it Love;
They, who wouldn't know Love
if it held a gun right up to their heads.

But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again, Lyssa
But then again,
the closest Lyssa,
who am I to say?
Who- am- I- to- say?

**** others
**** the others;
and **** still others up;
tryin' to fill that void
from which you're on the run
inside

But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,

I think you confuse
Lust for Love and
Desire for Need;
or maybe it's that you're
so shallow,
so hollow
that they're one in the same
to you, Lyssa,
to you, Lyssa,
******* Lyssa,
*******.

But then again,
who am I to say?
But then again,
who am I to say that

The Love you say you seek
is not what you deserve
The Love you seem to need
is the kind you'd throw away
The Love you say you seek
does not deserve your Love, no
The Love you say you have
is not the Love you've handed out

**** others.
**** the others;
and **** still others up;
tryin' to fill that void
from which you're on the run
on the inside

Good luck, Lyssa
Good luck, Lyssa
Good ****, Lyssa
Good ******' luck, Lyssa
Lyssa is the Greek goddess of wrath, rage, fury, raging madness, and frenzy.

T'will be a song.. I woke up at 5 am and wrote it down.
Nameless Dec 2013
I live in a house with a girl called Lyssa.
She screams a lot,
cries too.

I tell her to smile, to laugh.
I tell her that good things can happen.
I tell her that I wish she would feel better.

This only makes her cry more.
And scream a little louder.

Our house is small, and only one of us can be in it at a time.
I live there mostly when it’s sunny
and I plant flowers.

I live there until a rain cloud arrives, and Lyssa comes to take my place.
Sometimes even, I have to leave sooner.
She has tendencies of showing up unexpectedly.
And killing the flowers I planted.

I’ve told her to leave,
that I can’t live with her anymore because her rain falls too often.

But she always comes back,
and I’m just afraid one day,
she won’t leave.
Lyssa is the ancient goddess of insanity
I wrote the poem Lyssa about a month ago: http://hellopoetry.com/poem/lyssa/
and I made it into a demo for a song, and it's the first piece of music of mine with words:
https://soundcloud.com/apexparadigm/lyssa-demo
If any of you are interested in hearing it, please do.
I'm shy about vocalizing in my music, but feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

she awoke one morning to find wings upon her back
spread out across the length of her room
she had trouble getting out of the door
and every room she left and house she exited
she knocked things askew
destroyed more and more

she met a boy down-town of a similar strange sort
he was covered, every single last inch of him
in crawling, hugging spiders
his face was obscured and his tongue black
as he spoke, more came from his throat
fatter, hairier, wider

they fled together to a beach where a big bonfire sat
and around, for hundreds, in the fog, were others
others like them; outsides varied, insides same
there were some with wings too, the girl saw
but all stopped what they were doing as a sound was heard
and eyes turned toward the colossal flame

the people sat and gathered at the fire's base, close-knit
she linked arms with an old man with tears pouring from each wrinkle
and a little girl made of air
this crowd watched, enraptured for hours like moths
until the bonfire spluttered, stuttered, went to sleep
and wrote in the charcoal left: 'despair'

the boy with the spiders took her aside; his hands tickled
he bade the girl to wade out with him, into the swash
which giggled beseechingly at her toes, flecked with frost
the crowd of the beach overheard, and together they all joined
to slink into the fog and ocean depths united
to become, like the people of the night before them:
eternally lost.
based off a contemporary story idea.

Never meant to be,
The flash of eye is haunting,
There's groaning in the sea
And every wave is daunting.
They never will agree;
It's lovers they are taunting.

You lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied and lied.

And you said, 'Step down from the edge, my dear,
Too close to the edge, I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down.
Darling, hold on tight, hold on tight.
And Lyssa dances through the town...
Darling, hold on tight, hold on tight.

You don't stand for me,
And I can stand ground.
The song I fired was sweet
And all the notes fell down.
Here, take my hand...
We're lifting with the sound.

We sang and sang and sang and sang and sang and sang and sang and sang and sang...

And I said, 'Step down from the ledge, my dear,
Too close to the edge, I fear.'

They're cutting all the roses down.
Darling, hold on tight, hold on tight.
And Lyssa dances through the town...
Darling, hold on tight, hold on tight.

If you can hear me,
If you can see me, or sense me, or
Imagine the taste of sea salt on my skin,
Know that I love you.
Deep and full, warm and soft,
I love you with the span of my hands and
The curve of my spine,
With poems and paintings and a smile
With clean sheets and a bottle of wine,
Come home to me.
Nest yourself in beside my sternum and let my heartbeat sync with yours,
Let my stomach fill with sunburst rainbow butterflies
When you giggle
Let me revel in your voice and bask in the comfort of your fingers laced with mine
It’s not Romeo and Juliet or the moon and the tide, but
I love you like 2 am pillow fights and baking cookies on a rainy afternoon,
I love you like listening to the frogs in the pond
and singing to every song on the radio,
I love you like galaxies colliding and old bookstores,
I love you like dancing on the sidewalk and neither of us can dance to save our lives
So we end up just holding each other and laughing,
Flowers twined in your hair and your legs all tangled up with mine  
And the sky is so so incredible it takes my breath away till I remember your eyes
Because I love you.
Britney Lyn Mar 2018
Fearless, hateful, focused only on ripping others apart.
At least, that's the reputation.
But underneath that warlike facade, gentleness, justice.
Those deserving of a wrath so beast like, so morbid.
The wolves will tear them apart,
The owls will feast on their eyes.
Bloodshot, terrified, knowing all too well the story.
Behind the mask she puts on for the world,
Merely a girl, following orders, bringing the deserving to their knees.
Their lips forming words that beg her please,
Passionate as war, fragile as glass,
The girl with the fiery hair and paper mache mask.
Greek Goddess of the Underworld, known as the spirit for mad rage, and frenzies and rabies in animals.
She is portrayed as a Goddess of war, she cares deeply for her fellowships and does not afflict rage upon anyone who doesn't deserve it.

When the night silently whooshes
Over the sky,
It becomes that time of day,
The time to recline
And watch Dwayne Chapman and friends
Apprehend the wanted and charged
In the Hawaiian splotches of land.
Every cut to commercial
Happens at the ****** of each episode,
Starving the soul for what might happen...
When really the cut-scene continues
With less action than Beth, Dwayne,
Leland, Sonny, Cleo,
And Baby Lyssa may stir before a break.
Cars, cameras, and people
Move in hot-pursuit.
And thus the setting of the TV series
Isn't the only dimension
Captured.
I love Dog the Bounty Hunter lol one of my favorite TV series lately!
Trying to present my self as intellectual.
Makes me look like im pathetic.
I flow like water in the ocean.
Get it going like diaretic.
Spider senses start to tingle.
For the web site Christian mingle. Where I met a guy named
Shannon  bingle. Man actually had me shingle
Married to the roofing life.
Like Taylor Mackinney to her kraft singles.
Cheesy as they come. Logan gablehouse.  Is greasy.
The world is
thirsty for the fast deal
Sign like handcock on the contract.
Pro ball scholarship
But give handjobs in the back field.
Tyson smokes so much Marijuana
He knows how being black feels
When interrogated by the cops
Paranoia he doesn't act real.
My mom thinks she's European.
No native blood.
I asked her how does that feel.
She replied in French with Jordan gablehouse. Do you wanna taste your last meal...
J said you *******. Tell me how the grass feels.
And keegan just like forest Gump.
Hes dashing through the back marsh
To avoid the dudes with fast cars
Who blame him for doing bath salts...
Jack jack wanted aish so bad.
He collapsed in madness with me **** it yesh man thats real. And sad
Drugs I'm so disgusted by. I'm bring serious to say this jack. Man
You gotta say your peace. To the fake back stabbers and not take it ******* back
Get clean and sober. Stay on track
With medication.
And watch how much fakeness your closest friends shape shift and react
Funny stuff aside.
Manas really great with that.
She took two dumb ******* crazy rats.
Caged in habitat. And made them slay a crazy rap....than slaughtered them for science. Donated their *******. To science. Experiment gone violent.
She's not ok with that.
Karmin is an angel.
Thinks she names all that.
Inside her head. A secret undercover braniac.
And Riley is an amazing man.
Talented and brave as stan
But I didn't tell you.
Stan is my fan name.
When I'm ****** mister nameless slim shadey type of ****. To some gangster jams....
Grandma Gisele is a thank you mam
Do you actually spank the ham
Like Christmas web cam. Food. ****.
Christmas day. You can thank my hand....
Richard gablehouse. Was pregnant with a chicken glaze.

Little booties on the Christmas bird.
Bout to expose those little legs...
Oh its just humor ***** slip off the case.
I love my dad yo pieces.
There's a reason I'm a little raged.
No one seen the terrifying look
He harbored just for me.
When I didn't obey....
We got over all that.
Cleared that **** away
We had to make up. Every 15 seconds
New fight but its a different day
I feel bad. But hey its meant this way...
Alex Fanta was in debt to native medicine that made him good and gay...

While he was living to start showing me. You were open to him emotionally
I get it. You were busy.  Coulda sent him via email. artwork dreams and poetry... so he knows how much you truly love him.
Beneath the disconnection. Tell him how bad a place your feeling come from...
Moving on. Forget deceased.
There's still a bunch of dumb *****.
Reese swampy drop your pants punchline like 8 mile at the lunch truck...
Lyssa let's get frisky. While your cats lick my nuts like going down after 60 rounds suffering they ******* punch drunk....

Sha you **** ***** I still got a **** lets make it happen...

To not ignore your thoughts. To have some wants. Take off early system warnings. Relax. And dream of rap gods. Jesus. And the last 15 years of poor me...



...
Never once had friends
New essentials.
Now I cant ever leave em.
Pretend. Were valkyries.
With discipline from heavens..
Benevolent. And ****.
Reese. I love your head.
You so beautiful.
Not knowing. How your worth.
Was priceless. To your death n
Lyssa. Your not shy.
Your eyes are weapons.
Lacey. Your a graceful song.
Chaotic. Mess. But your the best.
Never forget. Shiina.
Your my  queenie.
Need my genie. To grant you every good event. To bring you men.
That you never woulda met.
And hold your head.
In heavens blessings
Ebony. Your a wedding dress.
So silky. And well kept.
Though your parents.
Thought you were best kept.
In the attic. Till you managed.
To evict. The past.
And see the fabric. Bless your chest.
I'm jealous of your *******
Never shame your body.
Your intoxicating to the senses
You **** vixens.
Were so delicious. Ain't it ****.
When you asking him.
For filling your night.
With passion.
Not to pack it full of filler
Like lays packages chips
In plastic *****.
Asking jackylyn.
How come her body is amazing.
But shedont see it.
Crime observed.
No rcmp. To write a ticket.
*** shes to fine. And doesn't
Act it. It's a tradgedy.
She wrote the book on hotness
**** that snot a compliment
She wrote the ******* manuscript
Than next is hailey Kastendieck
Shes the best. Not coming second
To anyone. Shes the angel
In a whiskey glass.
And the shades you need.
To keep a candle lit.
When its pitch blackness.
In the world with out her
Heart to illuminate the path of sanity
Amidst the madness grips...
And sha. Is my badest *****.
I pray she knows. I never hated
For a second.
Shes my reckless. *****.
Her husband's going to need an army.
To break that mustang.
Fore he saddles it...
Shes the gravity. Between. The planets
Her madness is my habitat.
Steven is my man. I wanted bad ****
But never imagined.
He'd be rapped up in so much bad ****
That I'd feel like I couldn't help
Him brings me sadness.
Tyler my little native gangster.
Hope the Angel's make him practice.
Loving within himself.
Till he fades away his vision from the blackness.
And Ricky and jack jack.
Hope you goofs.
Find proof your awesome
In the memories you gotta leave
In bags.
R.i.p. your futures brighter.
And this vacuums cordless and its bagless
**** up all the good ****
Love you all. I prolly forgot
About a million souls I love on this planet.
In a hospital for mental health
But my diagnosis bad *****
Aly Sep 2020
Broke down, pricked my fingers
hoping my blood led to whatever lingers
but if that's how you want to play then hand me the joystick,
it's time I stepped out and played some new music.
I'll sing the song of how I killed myself with only a few bruises
strangled by the rope of your well meaning abuses:

I'll start from the beginning- who else could compare
to the face I beheld, I could only just stare
sunset fell with laughter in the air
pen to page stating you'd always care
'give me the chance, just one dance,
I'll never let you down, never allow you to drown'
I read those lines not knowing they applied to me
but I'd hoped the girl with brown eyes would find you easily
I guess she did, by the looks of it, it wasn't me who fit the bill,  
Hm, well, maybe the swirl is worth the thrill.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, let me rewind a bit,
to a time before today when I wasn't out of it.
You stepped forwards, played chess
hit me with a full press
told me you meant your promises
and your logic kept you from lawlessness
woefully sadistic hypnotic verses spilled
and when you spoke my heart was filled
no words could capture, I believed you limitless
only shrouded by the cloud of the world's bitterness
my only wish was to make you smile
just as you said, "I'd run for miles".
I should've known from the jump just by looking at your friends
a love like ours couldn't be real, it was all pretend.

In her eyes I see the luxuries you couldn't afford to give me,
yet you asked for my everything and I gave it willingly.
I should've known the most beautiful things are haunting
and still I see you, and her, taunting.
So give these words your inspiration
I'm spinning the tale of your own damnation
pride comes before the fall, if only that applied here
If I could I'd save you, but you're too far gone, my dear.
You thought you could spare me and see yourself the victor,
if only this sickness didn't happen, you wouldn't be with her,
but you see, you're to blame for this downfall
cause I remember a certain promise that forbade such protocol.

If ****** want some smoke I'll give them the lighter,
step into the ring, I'm a heavyweight fighter.
It's your game, you started these fires
simple apologies presenting indifference towards your desires.
You posted your words and tears,
and the world gave its lending ears,
Yet when I speak daggers are thrown,
**** *****, shouldn't the truth be known?
You traded me in, no harm in the long run,
I just hope her daddy don't got a ****** gun.
I don't mind the knocking of words in fact I hope they inspire.
(Ladies, don't believe any ******, they all some bullshitting liars)

'Lyssa got her groove back, wish it didn't come to this,
but I hope her touch leaves a scar with every kiss.
I tried to move past this, even contemplated the worst
But I can't leave this earth without spinning one more verse.
Now it's the end I have no words for you,
perhaps at the end of this, I'll become anew.
If you're reading this I know your eyes are turning
I just hope you know by now I ain't afraid of a little burning.
Hard times with media provoking questions... emoticon.. on pros and cons.. def con... session
Ima sweat the death of **** I ****** and slept in...
Saleen meds kept me fed and
Ima stand up
Man up
Tuck my **** stub up my legs and


Grow ovaries
Metamorphisis contortion spleen
Morphing me
A deadly art...
Like transformers...
Sober artery..
***** forgery...
So parts of me.. get ripped ******* morbidly...sort of slowly starting parts unscene.... torn between...
So forget me like concussion case...
Head on ***** scene...
I'm ******
This nut case...
**** face... sworn allegiance....
To corporation corpse of being....

Jordan gablehouse...
More than famous now
Female...
Loving origins of native towns
Braids and gowns
I'm going to change
And escape my draining
Mound of **** I've laid to ground
Forget the damage of ****** frenic
And praise and lay me down

The rivers.. deliver crisp air
Shiver... mix my dust
In winter with a whisper...
Lyssa my thin air.. get me high
On sister... its a sinner that sweats
In her heaven...

— The End —
