devil inside her
DEVIL INSIDE HER
What's really going on
life is one big blur
ppl come and go
it's always just her.
If you said something was off
Id have to concur
I already know
there's a devil inside her.
she has no control
she fights and begs it please
it never listens
it never does truly leave.
its there if you ever care to look
it hides behind her eyes
it's that dull look of pain
it's the times you never know she cries.
she never can truly trust
there's always doubt and fear of more pain
it's the way she hides her smile
afraid someone might pretend to love her again.
its the rage she keeps pinned up
she won't ever admit
it's the way she feels about love
the way it makes her sick.
how did this happen
she walks around as if all is well
but its there if you care to see
She's living in her very own personal hell
caused by disappointment
unfulfilled promises and broken hearts
it is from every person who walked out on her
and ripped her soul apart.
it wants to come out
it wants to rear its ugly head
she never escapes it
it even follows her to bed.
it haunts her in the worst way
it invades her dreams
she wakes up constantly throughout the night
shes forever cursed it seems.
she doesn't want to admit it
but can't hide it anymore
it has become too obvious to deny
there's a devil inside her.
she will give no excuses
and show mercy to no man
she wants to rip out their hearts
as many as she can.
what happened you ask
maybe there's a way she hasn't considered before
shes tried everything but still
there's a devil inside her
it didn't happen all at once
no, not overnight
it's from years of disappointment
and giving up on her fight.
Her fight for love
its been a brutal war
she will never be the same
everywhere u look there's a battle scar.
what is left to fight for
will anyone try to save her
shes down pretty bad
just check the score.
never actually came out on top
never really won
she given up already
but he has just begun.
when you look what do u see
look past that fake smile
you know its there, what could it be
but its been there quite a while
she doesn't care if it wins
she doesn't wanna resist anymore
it is what it is
there's a devil inside her.
better run
head for the hills
there's no escape
no remedy or pills
there's nothing left to say
never leaving no matter what
its here to stay
forget everything u have heard before
just know, yeah.....
there's a devil inside her.
"The demons you have are what motivate you to make your art. This is what drives the detective, this is what drives the painter, this is what drives the writer: a conflicting urge to forget pain and at the same time remember it and fight for some kind of justice. I know these powerful things are inside of me and everyone in some way or another". Tom Reiss

Love me, Crush me
I cant believe I fell for it
I fell for you again
I hate the way you make me weak
The way you make me sin
You draw me in with wisps of love
You wrap me in your warmth
And when you feel the love returned
You mock me into scorn
You sold the lie you always sell
I bought it without thought
Off guard you caught my heart again
And crushed me on the spot
"What a fool, I am to think
Your love was ever real
You'd never love someone like me
Cause love is not ideal"
I get it, I'm your favorite game
You like to watch me wither
Always pretend you feel the same
Then drop me for another
I must admit I always know
I'm walking in a trap
But for you I'd die anew
For you I'd cross all maps
I understand you can not stay
You can not bare the weight
The hurt I always let you see
Is hurt you can't escape
Addictied to the pain I think
It's what it has to be
I like the pain you make me drink
And you like hurting me
I fell for you again
I hate the way you make me weak
The way you make me sin
You draw me in with wisps of love
You wrap me in your warmth
And when you feel the love returned
You mock me into scorn
You sold the lie you always sell
I bought it without thought
Off guard you caught my heart again

Crestfallen
She ~
bench pressed me
into obsession,
lifting me
UP
too high.
Evidently ~
i was too HEAVY;
the weight of our lust
crushed us,
smothered us, both. . .
when she let go
of the apparatus
that held our vested years
together
only a nonsensical equation:
1 x 1 = zero
became our divided remainder
& common denominator

Walking the Tight Throat
Life's a splitting
fraying tight rope
There's nobody
to blame although
with all the beasts
of complication
understandably
we're all feeling
under fire from
all directions
There are so many enemies
it's hard not to imagine
a few extra
Knowing this I could hardly blame
anyone who aims a few rounds
in my direction
I also can't deny how much it hurts...
Blame should rest with those who
warped our paranoid culture
into stiffer self protection

the emptiness
the emptiness is like a rainstorm
it violently pours down
soaking my clothes
chilling me to the bone
the emptiness is like a dark night
desolate streets
with one lamp post flicking
illuminating vacant pavement
the emptiness is like a cage
trapping me in my own torment
i stick my arm through the bars
clawing for freedom
the emptiness is like nothing
it’s the absence
it’s the unnatural loneliness
it’s the null thudding
it’s the quiver in my voice
it’s the voidness behind my eyes
it’s painted behind my smile
it’s the truth in all the lies
it violently pours down
soaking my clothes
chilling me to the bone
the emptiness is like a dark night
desolate streets
with one lamp post flicking
illuminating vacant pavement
the emptiness is like a cage
trapping me in my own torment
i stick my arm through the bars
clawing for freedom
the emptiness is like nothing
it’s the absence
it’s the unnatural loneliness
it’s the null thudding
it’s the quiver in my voice
it’s the voidness behind my eyes
it’s painted behind my smile
it’s the truth in all the lies
