Heartbreak, depression, anger and all that good stuff
Below the Low
It's going to be a different day
Maybe even a good one
Listening to the radio
"This is the day, your life will surely change"
I feel so torn since I was born
Life is easy when you set your death point by your own theory
I'm wondering how many layers are there in depression
As I look to the window
Hearing Christine sing to Eric
Daydreaming of going away in a three mast ship
In a blink of an eye I could cross the threshold
My intriguing scene shakes me
Below the low
here it comes
Sinking oh no not again
God help me in my need to feel complete
Playing with diamond cards
But the joker always knows whats on your mind
Voilins are playing in my darkest hour
And the sweetest melody I hear is from the musical figurine
that plays on...

Cold Eyes
“I’m so sick of being attached to people who obviously don’t give a fuck about me”
But you didn’t bother to correct me Cold Eyes choking me by the smoke of your cigarette that i pretend i don’t mind
And then i was gone in the labyrinth of my ribcage
chewing on the bars ripping out innards ravenous abandonment
rejection throwing haphazard bones onto your living room floor
The child i was feraled from her dwelling
A heathen cured in bile the parasite leaching her way into control
Retching all the way up my throat to the bar lights deadlights
And then we were back sans esophagus
The cigarette she bummed scorpioned my lungs
And i pretend i don’t mind and Cold Eyes says —

Remember
Do you remember me
The lonely one in the corner
Always on the outskirts
Never quite fitting in
Just a little awkward
Do you remember me
There but not there
A footnote in life
Merely a ghost in the crowd
Never in the line of sight
Do you remember me
Nothing but a whisper
That was never really heard
A shadow on the wall
The faint echo
Do you remember me
No don’t say you did
Cause I’m still here
Still on the outside
Trying to get in
Do you remember me
In years gone by
Was it worth all the effort
To find the truth
I was just the entertainment
The lonely one in the corner
Always on the outskirts
Never quite fitting in
Just a little awkward
Do you remember me
There but not there
A footnote in life
Merely a ghost in the crowd
Never in the line of sight
Do you remember me
Nothing but a whisper
That was never really heard
A shadow on the wall
The faint echo
Do you remember me
No don’t say you did
Cause I’m still here
Still on the outside
Trying to get in
Do you remember me
In years gone by
Was it worth all the effort
To find the truth
I was just the entertainment

don’t pity the man who tells you a sad story
what a picture: you, suckling a heroin teat.
we are all so sorry
and we understand
you’ve been badly treated
honey it’s not your fault
who could love a man like you? i must be the only one
who sees through you
so why would you deceive me
knowing how i care for you
who could handle a man like you?
with what you’ve been through
with the trust I’ve given you
with the trauma we share
how could you violate
my heart so
thoroughly
that i won’t trust a soul till I die
and you will be perversely proud
that you ruined me
-it’s just how I am, you say
-i know, says the girl next door
-it’s what I like about you. we’re just the same as each other
but you will always
i mean forever
be the worse
and she will also leave you

Away
Asystole is such a lonely sound
As I watched you slip away
Emptiness came crashing down
Words are too hard to say
How do I tell the one’s I love
I pray for strength for today
Cause tomorrow I’ll just drink it away
It’s the first sunrise without you
All decisions are way too much
Can’t find a reason, I don’t have a clue
I screamed your name in affray
How can I go on, I feel so hopeless
Maybe I’ll stop at the church to pray
Or sit here on these steps and just drink it away
Today is the day, I’ll lay you to rest
I asked God why He took you away
My body and soul is so obsessed
A single rose, one last time to pray
As the tears fills my eyes
When they lower you in that Georgia clay
The darkness will overcome, I’ll just drink it away
Just drink it away
Little by little the pain will lead me astray
Just drink it away
You were my forever now the past is all I have... after today
As I watched you slip away
Emptiness came crashing down
Words are too hard to say
How do I tell the one’s I love
I pray for strength for today
Cause tomorrow I’ll just drink it away
It’s the first sunrise without you
All decisions are way too much
Can’t find a reason, I don’t have a clue
I screamed your name in affray
How can I go on, I feel so hopeless
Maybe I’ll stop at the church to pray
Or sit here on these steps and just drink it away
Today is the day, I’ll lay you to rest
I asked God why He took you away
My body and soul is so obsessed
A single rose, one last time to pray
As the tears fills my eyes
When they lower you in that Georgia clay
The darkness will overcome, I’ll just drink it away
Just drink it away
Little by little the pain will lead me astray
Just drink it away
You were my forever now the past is all I have... after today

Domestic
Another night, another fight
I'm in my room, I'm full of fright
So much stress, so much pain
I wish it all would go away
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
Kick and scratch, claw and bite
Why did you cheat, why did you lie?
You make me sick, you make me cry
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
Another night, another fight
He throws a left, he throws a right
A broken nose, a bruise and scar
Is this the night that it goes too far?
This shit's been going on for far too long
It's time for you to pay for what you've done!
Another night, another fight
This is it, it ends tonight
You've gotten on my very last nerve
You're gunna get, what you deserve
Do you even care what you've done?
You hurt your wife, your daughter and son!
We're not taking your shit no more
Tonight you're gunna wind up on the floor!

Never Again
I hope you remember that I was the one who stuck
By your side through all the rain and rough patches,
But when I was the one who was really in the muck
You just left me to sink to rock bottom. The matches
Burned out and you left me all alone in the darkness
With no way to see or claw my way out. The scratches
And bruises made me feel ugly. I felt lonely, heartless
And lashed out on people who were just trying to assist.
I used to believe in the stars and moon, but the starless
Nights taught me to never trust when I was in the midst
Of my storm just like I could never trust any of the love
That ran through my veins. I told myself I could not exist
In a world filled with fake love and every mourning dove
That would take my sorrows away. I buried everything
Deep so no one can touch one thing I should be proud of;
The endless love that is bottomless. I know I cannot bring
Myself to the table where I know I am the one who gets
Left behind. I could no longer be your toy or plaything
When you get bored and lonely. I am the one who quits
You like a bad habit. You are the extinguished cigarettes.
By your side through all the rain and rough patches,
But when I was the one who was really in the muck
You just left me to sink to rock bottom. The matches

And bruises made me feel ugly. I felt lonely, heartless
And lashed out on people who were just trying to assist.

Poem 5( A Disputed Love)
Bouncing through the cool waves of the Pens'
Simplistic unsaturated flow
Dancing on the shore in between am and pm
Smoking through the dawn and the yawn of the morning
Coming full force under the sheets while hes ejaculating and stroking the consciousness of my wet art
Painting the saddest day of my life when he walked out and the shadow of pain stayed
Facing the reflection of anger, hate and rage
Waking up to the replay of me making a fool of love
Running water over my embarrasment
Drinking this hurt down to the last drop
And throwing 151 up until my stomach screams
stop
This is pointless!
