The Heir Apparent Part V (The Aftermath)
Time withers away, seasons have flown
Thy ripples of vague emotions linger on
Fading memories found left on their own
Safely sheltered where they now belong
Desperate feelings nestle, tucked away
Spawning callous apathy along the way
Forever invading, guiding one's reprieve
Shielded from what they cannot believe
Lingering apprehensions impose their toll
Receding, these subdued passions mourn
Feel the solitude from which they are born
Hushed silences dwindle across this soul
...

March of Ides are Afraid
March of Ides are Afraid”
Something billowing haunts March
Torturing the essence of the heart
Unknown the smithereens it brings
Lies upon Hades’ heathens wings
Shallow are ones smothered in regret
Dancing jagged thorns never to forget
Numbness flows within hollow veins
Will infinity forthcoming be in flames?
Way of the warriors extend your blade
Take out evil-doers consumed with hate
Crawling the skin just chillin like a villain
Eden's fruit beget sin, wikked was forgiven
Enraged...

You are the key
Why do you keep doing the same things over and over again, for don't you think that you have a choice to choose what you want, your own life to be in high sight of what you choose not to believe, within your own abilities to learn how to think for thyself. Why do you keep saying that you can't make it, for you still refuse to believe within thyself, and the possibility that you have the perseverance to survive, through anything that you have to face head in your own life. Why do you continue to keep repeating situations, that you know aren't what you want or need. BUT yet you still take that...

Respect
I want some respect, to be human, complete,
I’m not just a vagina, but a soul to greet.
I’m weary of sex that cuts and demeans—
See me as human, not a fucking machine.

Sorry, I have to leave you
I can't stay on this path
I have to change the road
Life goes on
Some things have to change
Nothing is completely black or white
If you want to take the good
You have to take the bad too
It hurts me so much
But I have to leave you
I can't tell you this because you wouldn't understand
Please believe me I still love you
I have to hope you won't believe I've abandoned you
Cause I never could
Cause I still love you
I hope you can cope
I hope your life can go on
Without too much rain ...

I hope you can cope
I hope your life can go on

Great Catch! (Lapping it up)
What a great catch,
As you fall into my lap!
It could be a trap,
But I ain't takin' that!
You're a great match,
A really amazing snatch.
Forget about that nap,
Till I've read you like a map!
We're on the right track,
Takin' up the slack,
Never goin' back -
Filling that sweet crack!
As you fall into my lap!
It could be a trap,
But I ain't takin' that!
You're a great match,
A really amazing snatch.
Forget about that nap,
Till I've read you like a map!
We're on the right track,
Takin' up the slack,
Never goin' back -
Filling that sweet crack!

Lusting Quietly for You
Suffering in silence
We'd do well together
It will never happen
I'll injure myself instead
That always takes the edge off
It lasts for a day
Then I start all over again
We'd do well together
It will never happen
I'll injure myself instead
That always takes the edge off
It lasts for a day
Then I start all over again

Random Journal Entry: Mania, Day 34
I feel savage; lonely
in my bubble of mania;
I can’t focus on you,
Or you,
Or me, or them;
I’ll shatter if I do, so it’s
head down, one foot
tripping the other;
yet I manage to land upright
…for now
I’m holding for now
my true self rejoices
at having been set free;
I had no choice
but to take the drugs
that forced her out;
she was ripping my insides
to shreds, crying herself to sleep
in a bed she made;
procrastination is a death dealer;
coming to steal away
whatever you...
in my bubble of mania;
I can’t focus on you,
Or you,
Or me, or them;
I’ll shatter if I do, so it’s
head down, one foot
tripping the other;
yet I manage to land upright
…for now
I’m holding for now
my true self rejoices
at having been set free;
I had no choice
but to take the drugs
that forced her out;
she was ripping my insides
to shreds, crying herself to sleep
in a bed she made;
procrastination is a death dealer;
coming to steal away
whatever you...

Ed's bomb
I was warned beforehand
his hand had made something
with wires and batteries
it was on his table
could I go see
what I saw was a metaphor
with wires hanging out of it
though didn't want to doubt it
in front of him
his hand had made something

Not Lost
When a scream betrays secrets
and demons swallow the night
never doubt the love of life
still shines forever in your heart
Be braver
brave enough to drag
bold fragments of your soul
through ruin of despair
to find another
then another breath
as effortless as time
Embrace cold certainty
straddling the hour
until warmth of expectation
bestows forgiveness
so that peace may once more flourish
feeding hope
to nourish dawn's new light
and demons swallow the night
never doubt the love of life
still shines forever in your heart
Be braver
brave enough to drag
bold fragments of your soul
through ruin of despair
to find another
then another breath
as effortless as time
Embrace cold certainty
straddling the hour
until warmth of expectation
bestows forgiveness
so that peace may once more flourish
feeding hope
to nourish dawn's new light

If you’re a word, I’m a word
It’s illogical, but why do I still
feel such suspicion when people
tell me they love me
as if I can’t believe they’d place
someone else over the wreckage
of themselves
your bones entered, washing black salt
from wounded questions, stitching
new answers on old cotton tongues
and I realise now, love
was never enough to make me
want to stay, but it licked
cold bile from my lips
enough for me to say, boy
you’re my glass, and I long
to drink until it stops hurting
...
