Healing
Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
I don't think he truly...

Hope's fires
The fires burn on the Santa Ana
It was inevitable in the night
Like a stranger in a bandanna
Bringing nature to the fight
There is no justice in the wind
Broken glass and bloody peril
Plans can break and will can bend
Chaos singing out natures carol
Uncertainty brightly riding the wind
Can you feel the future coming down
It was inevitable in the night
Like a stranger in a bandanna
Bringing nature to the fight
There is no justice in the wind
Broken glass and bloody peril
Plans can break and will can bend
Chaos singing out natures carol
Uncertainty brightly riding the wind
Can you feel the future coming down

Love Is...
Love is this whirlpool
This blackhole
Love is the cracks in the porcelain of my body
My heart folds like origami
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Time heals no wounds
Was it love or a lie?
Love is love
Is love is
Love is
Love is a lie
This blackhole
Love is the cracks in the porcelain of my body
My heart folds like origami
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Time heals no wounds
Was it love or a lie?
Love is love
Is love is
Love is
Love is a lie

Moon
Gazing at the spherical moon,
I notice it doesn't look the same to you
While I admire its glow, its silver beax
Your grey perception has no clue
Do not fret; it is my mistake alone
How shallow of me to assume
You notice nature's gloom—
For moons and stars are merely that to you
Cryptic symbols furnish my tomb
Try to decipher my last plea
I give you one last scream
Begging you to notice my moon bleeding
Swirling syllables surround my head
When will the moon's shadowed time end?
Will the moon remind...
I notice it doesn't look the same to you
While I admire its glow, its silver beax
Your grey perception has no clue
Do not fret; it is my mistake alone
How shallow of me to assume
You notice nature's gloom—
For moons and stars are merely that to you
Cryptic symbols furnish my tomb
Try to decipher my last plea
I give you one last scream
Begging you to notice my moon bleeding
Swirling syllables surround my head
When will the moon's shadowed time end?

Things I’ll never tell
Love used to be a dream
Where everyone was as they seem
And when temptation came to call
They would never risk it all
Where they’d always be on your team
When one is down the other catches the tears that stream
But then came the first sting
It was nothing just a fling
Then the next and on we go
Rejected females sending me blow after blow
Till my self esteem is as shattered as my heart
Wondering why I’m not enough from the start
Knowing that I am worth more
But his cruel words leave me on the floor
Loving him but hating...
Where everyone was as they seem

Then the next and on we go
Rejected females sending me blow after blow
Till my self esteem is as shattered as my heart
Wondering why I’m not enough from the start
Knowing that I am worth more
But his cruel words leave me on the floor

insect enclosure
Maggots nestled beneath my bed, swarming over blood stained tissues.
Oh what a sight.
Flies buzzing in the corner of my room, happily feasting on the bowls filled with retch.
Oh what a scene
Watch your step, theres spiders on the floor.
Fragments of my mind scattered all around my room.
Watch your step, theres glass on the floor.
Locked up inside, there is no way out.
No light at the end of the tunnel
No mouth for the cave
No future, no hope
Oh so deep
Oh what a sight.
Flies buzzing in the corner of my room, happily feasting on the bowls filled with retch.
Oh what a scene
Watch your step, theres spiders on the floor.
Fragments of my mind scattered all around my room.

Locked up inside, there is no way out.
No light at the end of the tunnel
No mouth for the cave
No future, no hope
Oh so deep

And it begins...
And it begins, a cosmic mistake,
of stars and worlds born from dust.
What was once nothing,
now is nothing with meaning.
The nothingness created into something,
by our zealous obsessed minds.
It gives me solace to know
that your something means nothing.
A hint of jealousy from my nothingness,
that doesn't want to feel alone.
So now as we dance with the already,
I grieve the soon to be.
As you smell the red of roses,
I feel the thorns they carry.
Without mourning stars, ...
of stars and worlds born from dust.

More than any high
I was never worth the time—
that’s what they taught me.
With every goodbye spat like venom,
with every hand that let go too soon,
with every love that turned to rust.
It became part of me,
a truth carved into my bones:
"You are worthless. Unsavable. Unlovable."
I swallowed it like a pill,
let it settle deep
until I could barely tell
where it ended and I began.
Then you.
You, with eyes full of things
I could never deserve,
watching me like I was something
worth seeing, worth knowing,
worth...
that’s what they taught me.

I Resolve
I resolve to make some resolutions this year.
Yes, I must find time to buckle down and do it.
Now then….losing weight..that’s the big one.
Think I need to resolve to clear the fridge too.
So I’ll settle down to polish off all the food
that’s built up over the week.
So I have already fulfilled my second resolution!
I’ll save the first for next year

Buried freedom and Expectations.
Through the dumped imposition of expectation,
we stare at each other.
No words needed to slip into each other’s minds.
Is it finally getting us?
Maybe the Herculean Task wasn’t a good idea.
All those promises and wishes I made
to keep you safe —
shattering in front of my eyes.
And even after giving my best,
it’s futile.
Why is there no freedom for us,
if that’s the only thing we want?
Should I give in?
Will you give in?
Fight, flight, fallen —
I see no end.
Do you have some hope left?
I...

The voice that never fades.
All the angry voices started about 5 years ago.
a whisper close to nothing or unhearable.
They started by praising my actions and reactions
Pretending they were here to make easier my interactions.
They were kind and caring at first.
After short period of time things got worse.
They told me i didn't react the way I could.
They decided to explain the way the of their sainthood.
The way they told me to talk and to handle things quickly became evil.
The way they described the details made me never to trust other people.
At the time this started i...
