Lateral madness
"There is always some madness in love. But there is always some reason in madness" - Nietzsche
I love you,
I - love you?
I
need you
creatively
eliminating
apathy
my apathy-
because you were here
nothing more, nothing less
and all of the best
moments
in my head linger sweetly,
when I wasn't killing you
and you still fell asleep
soundly.
I wake at 3am
the witching hour-
the bitching hours
I writhe
slick with sweat
and fear
screaming
I love you
I - love you
I
need you
repetition
repetition
re - pe - tition.
If he could hear me just once
or twice
or a hundred and fifty one times
(though that's not an even number)
I'd tell him he
was the most beautiful thing
I ever had in my life
how at night when my hands
were on fire and my lips
convulsed with poetry
one hour
two hours
three hours
until dawn would face me
and drag me by my hips
where I was a demon
screaming across the skyline
my fingernails boring scars
across a Shepherd's warning
the orange
the pink
the red
your back
my blood
your bed
and all the voices
in
my
head
just
disappeared.

Bullets to the Heart
I hung out my heart to feel your love
So I could test the sweetness of it
They say giving yourself away hurts
And it does...
... It hurts like shit
You hand your lover the gun
Weaponless for a battle not yet won
Ignoring what your mind already knows,
"Here, you take this. I don't need it."
A damn fool you are to let go
Their hand slips
Through the air a bullet rips
Straight through the vitality of you
But you're still stubbornly alive
Still managing to revive
Even though you're damaged
Broken
With wind whistling through the holes
Echoing reminders of those two souls
That merged as one
Loved as one
Hurt as one
Survived as one
I hung out my heart to feel your love
So I could test the sweetness of it
They say giving yourself away hurts
And it does...
... It hurts like shit
You hand your lover the gun
Weaponless for a battle not yet won
Ignoring what your mind already knows,
"Here, you take this. I don't need it."
A damn fool you are to let go
Their hand slips
Through the air a bullet rips
Straight through the vitality of you
But you're still stubbornly alive
Still managing to revive
Even though you're damaged
Broken
With wind whistling through the holes
Echoing reminders of those two souls
That merged as one
Loved as one
Hurt as one
Survived as one
*No name*
Turned the shower on too hot again not enough to burn but just enough sting to remind me of you.
It's true I'm flying high and drowning tonight
And it's grape this time
but I got the MDMA this time.
But baby only the promethazine holds me like you do,
makes me feel low and dumb like you know you do.
And whenever I roll without you.
I see your smile,your lips
& I remember to feel high and cum.
Put the radio on too loud again,not enough to to make my eardrums bleed again,just enough shake in the windows to remind me of all those nights we were so high we were screaming
about the unjust and fake people in the world.
When your thoughts are reeling
and that hardness is all your feeling,whose face do you see?
Am I running my fingers through your hair again
When your tipsy off that damn cheap whiskey and you think of what can never be is it me you see?
and you sigh and say
But baby only the promethazine holds me like you do,
makes me feel low and dumb like you know you do.
And whenever I roll without you.
I see your smile,your lips
& I remember to feel high and cum.

"Never Quitting"
If I have to live my life I'd rather be the cause of my own demise.
Cause were filled with lies there in us all,everyday is hit & miss just grab the ball.
Except me I tell it like it is,shake a soda to see it fizz.
To live is to choose not to die,but to live doesn't mean you were ever alive.
Left or right the choice is yours it doesn't matter just use that voice.
Cause the sun it burns and if we never learn to step out into the light where people often and willingly sell lies for cheap we could keep the smiles with no need to weep.
So let's all say fuck it,all we got is what's gonna rot.
We have nothing in the end anyway,so get your way.
Be profound before you hit the ground.
Spread it around let everyone have a slice.
If your tired of this vice called life take a leap that's my advice.
Make love,forget names,learn the rules so you can break the game.
We shouldn't care its all the same.
Breathe it in,roll it out,steal a heart that's what its all about,fuck a girl,fuck a million screw the action its about the feeling.
Who gives a shit,make yourself fit.
Stand for it or let it fall.
Do something or not its your call.
Love a man and if he doesn't love you back,no sweat off your sack.
If tomorrows the end this morning was too late,pack your parachute and unlock the gate.
Make it last or forget it came.
All I know is nothing at all.

Eighteen with an attitude
When you think back on me & this,don't forget I never missed.
I got the sunset to my back,a sense of humor I never seem to lack.
Need a cigarette,I might even have a pack.
No I don't smoke,I already choke,I'm just eighteen with my death ahead.
So why not spend my green?
No need to save or behave.
Have faith,will Travel.

(Back to it's original title) Ghost
Where have you gone?
It's been so long.
I'm living with your ghost these days and the shadows of the past are starting to fade.
The whispers are getting quieter as night turns to a new day.
Sweet words and memories collecting dust as the weather grows cold.
Everything looks the same,I myself seem to have grown old.
I look to myself for comfort and I remember the look that was once inside your eyes.
The only sound to pierce the silence are my collective sighs.
Your were here once,I remember it still today.
I'm starting to forget it all,as well as to feel anything today.
Please tell me where you've gone my love,you've been away so very long.
Have you always been a ghost?
It's been so long Ive forgotten.

Trouble
Long story short
The title could be my name
The pain and death I've seen
Could drive even the purest hearts insane
Destruction
Torture
They seemed fun to me
At the time
A friend opened my eyes when I was 9
I almost died
I watched the world fall
I needed to escape
To someplace safe
My mind was open
My heart was too broken
So I didn't mind
Everyone noticed my black outs
They never said a word about it
I guess it was an act of sympathy
3 years older than me
About "5"6'
Decided to call me weird
Normal
What is normal?
You call me "weird"
You call me "strange"
You're the one that's deranged
If you think you're "normal"
I'm the happy emo psycho
Wanna play a game?
