love i never had
That day you disappeared from my grasp,
That same guttrenching sickness I felt when our eyes first met,
The words you spattered so bravely along the crooked outline of my virtuous heart
The words I selfishly kept tied at the back, amongst the resident grains of an apparent shallowness and useless fucking dignity that in the end seemed too undignified a whole length more.
Falling felt less piercing when I expected the welcome of your arms
But now the gravity pounds at every broken bone like the vicious gunfire on the abandoned helmet of a wounded soldier
Abandoned … that is what I shall be, now and possibly forever
But not you, you’re poisoned now, unrightfully un pure, stained, rancid to the core, the unfamiliar and undeserving core of a stranger
May you not be happy, happy or fulfilled in the measly outcome of this destiny, one that was aimed to end with that of a prolonged fairy-tale now replaced with a nightmare. But my nightmare, never to be yours.

- Be My Eve -
Another year passed, and it ended in my tears,
No one saw me cry, nor cared about my fears.
If just one dear lady had tried to give her heart,
To end my loneliness, rather than tear me apart!
I would have done anything at all for such love.
Put her on a pedestal, marble white as a dove?
But art untouched is hardly an object of desire!
Love and passion, are things born of inner fire.
So that I would not do, for it be far too cold…
I would hold her in my arms, and kiss her bold.
Dance with her in the moonlight, mad as night?
Oh indeed I would, and we would be a sight…
People would talk of it for a long time, indeed,
As the purest expression of love as was freed!
And before the dawn breaks the magic spell…
Ours passions would ignite like the fires of Hell.
In the darkness, our spirits, blazing like stars…
Would become a legend, like Venus and Mars.
Like a genie, so much is bottled away within…
Because so many treat passion as if it were sin!
Another year passed, and I fear I shall explode.
I cannot seal away my heart and let it corrode…
People want me to be silent and let destiny turn,
But love is my destiny, and in her flames I burn!
I would so anything, to slake the thirst I know…
For it burns like fire: and freezes like chill snow.
Only the passionate soul, suffers like unto this…
Never knowing peace while it hungers for bliss!
Too long in the shadows, too much for just one,
Share the shade with me, like a silk finely spun!
We’ll sip from a chalice of silver, and not gold,
Just to be different from this world that is old…
My soul is older, but my flesh is still too young,
To honor traditions, of which others have sung.
Let us make up our own, and forget the past…
One life is far too short, and time does not last.
Walk with me, dear girl, and you’ll be content,
I’ll share with you the universe, and firmament.
Too much have I hidden away as others laugh!
So much I can share, if you will share my path.
Another year passed, but why let it go in vain?
Why spend another year thinking of your pain!
Answer my call, for the hourglass cannot wait,
Give in to desire, and become my soul’s mate!
Life is like a sea far from many a friendly port,
We all defend our harbors by putting up a fort.
But soon comes the time to put cannons aside,
To build beautiful gardens in which we’ll abide.
Eden is not lost, if we keep creating it, anew…
With love as the creator, a course staying true!
You can spend a lifetime lost on lonely waves,
And we can lie unloved going into cold graves.
But that is not the way I wish to pass my time,
So come, be my Eve, knowing a love sublime!
Whilst the meadows are green, and sunlit fair,
Oh maid make merry, put flowers in your hair!
Let me show you all the places where they lie,
While still they bloom, beneath an azure sky…
Waiting, like me, for your touch to grace them.
Be my Eve, a goddess no god shall condemn!

Adam
Your eyes were like a ce-me-tar-y to me
Oh your just so beatiful
You hair falls like rain onto your face
I wanted, no I needed to know more...
You took offense to others dense stares
Then you fell a victim to mine
Never knew your last name
But Adam you were something fi-ine
I didn't want you to leave
But it was out of my control
I don't know if you noticed me
I hope that you didn't....
I hope you let it go
But for me this infatuation is now dead
Your a figment of non-fiction
You never knew what went on in my head
You probably could've ran rings around me
With you words
Although our conversations never lasted long
Your gazed never left mine
Oh Adam you've probably forgotten me by now
And with that thought I am lost for words...
I didn't want you to leave
But it was out of my control
I don't know if you noticed me
I hope that you didn't....
I hope you let it go
But for me this infatuation is now dead
Your a figment of non-fiction
You never knew what went on in my head
Your eyes were like a ce-me-tar-y to me
Oh your just so beatiful
You hair falls like rain onto your face
I wanted, no I needed to know more...
You took offense to others dense stares
Then you fell a victim to mine
Never knew your last name
But Adam you were something fi-ine
I didn't want you to leave
But it was out of my control
I don't know if you noticed me
I hope that you didn't....
I hope you let it go
But for me this infatuation is now dead
Your a figment of non-fiction

You probably could've ran rings around me

Oh Adam you've probably forgotten me by now

LOVE is SICKNESS
today was the day evil steped in...all remain lost and love caved in..
memorries of you and me stuck in my mind....
i fell lost and left behind...
the smiles you gave me the butterflies i felt mad me alive
demons come forth and took what was mine
the spirits told me that i will not brack threw
after the lies an i love you...
monsters come and take my heart
love in darkness torn us apart..
i cant laugh or fake a smile
love is nothing but sickness and vial
befor i decay in filth and deed
love stole the innocent and make me bleed..

-Heartache-
You lied to me,
You played with my heart.
You said you hated him,
He treated you in evil ways.
Now you tell me it was all a lie,
In fact hes your boyfriend.
You stole my heart,
Then you crushed it.
You asked me why i didnt trust you,
I said i did.
Big mistake,
Look what it got me.
I tried to keep you,
From hurting yourself.
It looks like you would,
Rather hurt me.
Do you know how much,
I loved you?
Do you have any fucking idea,
How hard I'm crying?
You said you dont want,
Me no more.
You do what I dont like,
So i wont talk to you.
You make my heartache,
You are squeezing my insides.
To a pulp,
From eleven and a half hours away.
I love you after,
All this shit.
All this shit,
You have done to me.
You told me you hated,
Jerks.
So I was myself,
I respected you,
Cared for you,
Loved you,
Now you tell me i'm to nice.
I ask you to have,
A nice life.
You tell me you won't,
What am i supposed to do?
You love playing twith my emotions,
It causes me heartache.

-Tearful Rain-
When we first started talking,
I was happy.
A month later,
I was hurtin.
Hurting because I wanted to see you,
But i am to far away.
When we were talking,
And I heard the rain.
All I could imagine was,
You and me kissing in it.
Now when i hear the rain,
All I can imagine.
Is all the tears,
I have shed for you.

You and me kissing in it.
Now when i hear the rain,
All I can imagine.
Is all the tears,
I have shed for you.
I could pick you out from a million people
with nothing but the whisper of my heart.
I knew I was starving
I knew I was only half of myself
and I knew that I could never be complete
until I found you.
I want to pull back your layers,
step into your depth and lose myself in you.
I want to run my finger tip along your mouth
and quiet the voices you fight in your head.
I want to drink you in and taste your love
and remove all doubt that I am yours.
I know that experience is cruel,
I know that you are protective of what's yours.
But you are the shelter
and I the foundation.
Together we are at home and can weather any storm.
No matter where life takes you
I am with you and will whisper your name,
until you wrap your arms around me
and we can be together.
You are my one,
my star who guides me,
a reminder of the passion that burns inside of me.
I long for your physical touch
but you hold me deep inside and the fire burns within.
with nothing but the whisper of my heart.

Train Station Tears
Noisy...but I only hear the beating of your heart,
People everywhere...but I only see the sapphire blue of your eyes,
You’re leaving...but I still feel the kiss of your lips,
Slowly… everything is moving so slowly, my heart is bursting within me...
Raindrops...falling all around me,
Thunder...screams out your name,
Lightening...lights up those sapphire blue eyes with tears,
The whistle blows… and you’re gone away,
My only love…

::
my chest; cavernous
still & feeling empty
yet my best bet
is my need to forget
what my eyes
what they
can’t remember
my heart
a hole in one
though its still beating
it took a beating
my dream leaving; left
not right
no love; no
can’t even call it fleeting
more like
self-deceiving; myself
alone
no one else
my
conclusion
hers was
a mind, a body of illusion
love’s vision; gone
the song sung
wrong; out of range
forever
so strange
