he is coals, almost unburning

I, grass, covered in dew

we lay, in the earth

until the sun makes us new

Art was your coffin
It is buried
Shall I leave you as you lay
Or dig you up
For one more colorful day

Who am I to say that I'm alive
I felt close to death before
Pulled nearer and nearer
I have slipped away since then
Fear for the end, and
Reality of life
May charge their forces
With no avail against me
What will sway me
When I have seen the end
And made a new beginning

The heart in my chest
Has grown cold of late
Lonliness, she eats away at me.

I have taken my heart
Into my own hands
But she has pulled
What little warmth
Was left in my fingers

Now with cold hands
And a frozen heart
I pass into the night

The more roads we build
The more cliffs there are
The more cliffs there are
The more we can fall
The more the fall the farther we go
The farther we go the harder it is to come back

Come to me
With your stone cold hands
Come to me
Whatever you are running from
Come to me
I willd hold you close

You feel alone
And fear your only companion

Come to me
It's okay to leave everything you know
Come to me
We will journey on
Come to me
I've been waiting for you

I'm waiting for you

Are we all here for art?

Are we here to vent about our broken hearts?

Do we think it is enough to fill the void with words?

That our lovers never got to hear

Or is it just a comfort?

To say them to those who can relate

So we don't have to be alone

With our feelings and regrets

In the darkest of the night?

Hush, your crying
Little one
It will be okay
I won't let you go

Big troubles
For a little heart
But such a big heart
For a cruel world

We have all
Cried our tears
Yours no more salty
Than the rest

Hush, little one
All things will be well
The night is here
But the sunrise will come

I want to know you
I learned your middle name yesterday
I want to hear about your day but get distracted because I am lost in the sound of your voice
I want to see myself through your eyes because they are kinder, gentler, more patient
I want to feel my skin under your hands because it is softer, smoother, more tangible
I cannot bear to show you my tears because God forbid you would look on me with kindness and I would know it for the first time
I am afraid as you listen when I talk you will only hear my words and not the heart I hold for you beneath
I want to press my body into yours until the tiny pores of your skin open up and let me in
I want to trace my nails along the contours of your spine and feel your long breath go out with the stress of the day
You have a scar above your eyebrow, I know how it got there
I want to watch the lines on your face as you ripen into old age
I want to know what quickens your heart
What slows your breath
What fills your thoughts
What empties your eyes of their joy
My ears hear no other voice as gently as they do yours
So whisper to me in the dark
That I can stay with you
Until the light returns

The way your essence fills my lungs
Can only be compared
To the way a breeze goes through my hair
For it is gentle
Yet still
You feel it tremble and stare

To dream in color
And write upon her heart
To kiss the stars
Still so far apart

To lay with you
Amongst the shadows
Finding rest with you
Beneath the Hallows

So much sky
My eyes are lost in sight
I look only for you
In this dark night

For you my friend
Are the bright soul
With a light heart
That makes me whole

In simplicity
Oh the joy I have found
What good is patience
When you do not make yourself known to me

I was given the most beautiful compliment today
The one twenty four in the morning girl told me
That I was God's ******* to Satan

Amen

The heart may know what it wants
It does not always know best
Organs are fickle instruments
No matter how deep
How resonating a melody they create
In the end, the crashing of the crescendo
The blood pumping in your veins
Music is a farce
Against the steady beat of mankind

Those emerald green eyes
Lying in wait for me
Behind those dark shades

Those hands folded carefully
Reaching out to me
From your heart

I can't move, I am pierced by your gaze
I long for your touch, but try to run away

I will not let
Fear make its home in me
Energy is flowing
Anxiety through me
River of life
Carry this on
All trouble is liquid
Let it move on
My power comes to me
Under earth and sky
The night will keep me
Safe from your cry
So it is written
So it is done
One with the earth
Under the sun
So mote it be

I placed you like a star in my soul-sky,
            and yet when you are of the earth,
                  you hold no place in my heavens

I can align the stars
And make beautiful constellations
But the sun doesn't shine for me
This spinning world makes me dizzy
And I moon over eternity

Tonight,
I will call the light down from the stars
Ignite the tips of each of my ten fingers
It will not be enough
This is okay
Because the freckles on your skin in the dark
Are the only light I truly need

You and I

Beyond my own walls
These kingdoms we built
Stone in our sentiment
Delicate the cornerstone of our delight

We said we aren't angry with each other
But, you're sleeping on the couch

I like being sick cause then I loose weight
I can ignore the pain and ignore the hate

I cant separate the joy from confusion
I don't want to be another tool that you are using

I mark my calendar days crossing off each one
Waiting for the year to end wanting it to be done

Your words mix and jumble in my head
I am dying inside when I should be living instead

I am rising like a storm at sea
Waiting till I am strong enough to set myself free

I rage and boil and smoke inside
I remember all the other times I tried

I failed back then will I fail now
I stand in a room with a throne will I bow

I fall to my knees and utter my shame
I will hurt and take my blame

I speak like rain and poisoned drops
I want the sky to fall and not stop

It comes slow and it comes fast
I need it now it must last

I am lost on tiles of black
Wanting to look back

I am floating on tiles of white
Hidden, hiding in a curtain of fright

Its on a board smooth to touch
But the special effects are to much

Its a court a court of shame
And I will always take the blame

Heaven, not as motionless as before
Time stirring, it's scent in the wind again
Beginning, sifting further from memory
Gathering thoughts, consciousness, as it goes
Are we ageless now, with our back
Face to face with creation
The flow of blood through my hands, thickening
The hand of man stirs not what it would devour
Hunger again, thirst will abandon you
Here at the bottom of the well
Pennies of copper for silver tongues, iron hearts
Who do you think you are
Grounding yourself on holy soil
When the womb of your thoughts
Finds itself barren again
Will you act with the hunger of your mind
Binding satisfaction with the gnashing of teeth
To a prayer no man can stomach
You miscarry yourself
Infertility of your thoughts
Spilling dead seed in an empty garden
Begging weeds for fruit, watering sand
Bartering fools gold for spent promises
Turning soil over
You would be better to dig your grave
There is rest in the earth
Bite your tongue, clear your mind of pain
Remember wisdom
Food for soil, food for thought
Bread that is broken
Yesterday's tears and sweat
Spent as they dry
Coins on your eyes as you sleep every night
Is your hope simply that you pass
Peacefully through iron gates
If your mind is weak so are your hands
Fools do not doubt their wisdom, only yours
How confident you are behind your walls
Painting sunflowers on the walls
When you will not make windows
How stale a mind kept in a box
Have you not been told
Eyes are the window to the soul
Let the light in

It felt good
The way you kissed my neck
It would feel better
To run my car over your face

Psychopathic tendency's
Uncontrollable liars

It was sweet
The way you hugged me
It tasted better
The poison on your tongue

Acid and arrows
Cupid's fate

We bottled up the ashes of our young souls
Put them into the night
For the moon to drink herself happy
The róse of our youth
Oh sweet it is to those who never die

Some steps are hard to take
Some people you just can't let go

That first step
When you hold your breath
And tread onto the ice

You pray in your mind
With your hands tightly clenched
That it won't break

That you won't break
Like you have before
So many times

You know it can hold you
But you don't know
If it can bear your scars

You carry them proudly
But not for all to see
A secret burden

They lighten some things
And others they drag down
But will they crack the ice

You reach for the edge
Something to grasp
But just out of reach

Just like your nights
You reach for someone
But they are just out of reach

It's not so much the fact of being alone
Than feeling alone
No one wants that.

Yes, you love your solitude
You crave the dark
Yet you need a friend

You want hands
To reach for you
To catch you

Before your fall
Before the ice cracks
In the moment of opportunity

That is where you find yourself
In that moment
In the moment of opportunity

You are not afraid
You have felt pain before
It still lingers, yet

You are not timid
You have walked this road
Yet it wearies you

You are apprehensive
Of who you are
In the dark

You do not know
If this is your last night
Maybe you wont return to the light

The sun kisses your face
But does not shine in your eyes
Like the light in those around you

The moon, your dark Queen
You bask in her light
And serve her temporal being

A balance you seek
A scale you weigh
Of light and dark

Both a beautiful half
Of a bigger part
The light all the of days

So territorial, you are
Of all you hold dear
Of all that lies

Just out of reach
You wish to hold it
All in your arms

Keep all you love
Safe from harm
But it tears your wounds open

Your scars burn like fire
In gaze of unknown eyes
And you turn to the shadows

But my friend
My dearest friend
I know you

I have walked the halls
Of your sorrowed heart
I know the corridors

The doors you hide behind
And the pain behind your eyes
And still I love you

I would save you from yourself
Never, to destroy again
Battles you would not have to fight

I do not know
How long wars last
One day is enough

Half of your heart
Is cold and dark
But not barren

Half of you heart
Is warm and light
But still not beating

Your mind an expanse
You let me inside
So I would find

A place to hide
A place to know
A place to fight

Gentle songs
Ring from your lips
And bid the demons shrink

Strong words
Of forgotten days
Tremble on the brink

And cascade into victory
A crown of golden stars
To be placed upon your head

A ruler, all her own
A ruler, of her own
A ruler, never alone

I was chosen
Not to be loved
But to absorb your violence

Feast on my emptiness
Then neither of us will be satiated

You knew I would never be evil
Never be cruel to you
What you did not know
Is that once you are evil to me
Once you are cruel
I will never allow
You the opportunity to do it again
There is strength in my silence
When I find weakness in your words

I used to be cooler
Now I'm crueler
Older heart with harder lines
Reciting memories, to pass time

It is good to cry
But not when you have forgotten how to laugh

I am trying so hard
Not to cry
But I begin to wonder
Does it even matter anymore?

The world would be a different place if we let boys cry.

I love songs that make me cry, because it means my soul isn't all rock yet
