(Inspiration: Don't Walk Away From Me by Idra Kane)

DON’T WALK AWAY FROM ME

http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2014/267/a/3/don_t_walk_away_from_me_by_engrvv-d80clx4.jpg


Don’t walk away from me
‘cause if you do
might as well take the sun with you—
for only you can light the path of darkness
in my perilous journey.
Without you
my life would be empty,
meaningless,
and without color—
‘cause only you
can fill the void in my heart,
only you can give meaning
to go on living,
and only you can paint the rainbows
of happiness within my soul.

So please my darling
I beg of you…
don’t walk away from me.
Loving you is the best thing
that ever happened to me;
if you walk away,
there will be no more songs to sing,
no more poems to write,
as this will be my last
because what’s the use of living
if living is without you.
I would do anything for you
in the name of love—
just don’t walk away from me!

Sugarwood Station


I saw myself there with you,
At Sugarwood Station,
The place where the trains no longer run,
But ours, nonetheless—
The loner’s paradise.

I saw it in my dreams
And felt it in my heart
The moment you looked my way
And told me you’d stepped outside of society
As I did;

Maybe we can both be alone in the woods, together?

What if we created our own, separate world
Out of the ruins of this world?
It would be sweet as sugar,
Yet strong as wood,
And withstand the darkness and rain
While bread loaves of provision
Blow in on the wind.

We could take turns driving the train
Along the abandoned tracks,
Sounding the whistle that only we can hear.

I might be your Hyacinth Girl,
Waiting,
And you, my Solitary Man,
Waiting,
For someone to wake us….

Should we ride the waves and see what’s over each swell?



(Inspired by the line “They call you the Hyacinth Girl, white flower alone in the woods” from my all time favorite song,
“Hyacinth Girl" by Winter Hours)

Inspired by Vide Infra by Killswitch Engage.
The line: 'They'll never take me from me.'

They will push me down to the muddy barren of life,
to the very depths of what they fear,
and they will hold me in the pit of despair,
they will thrive in their task,
they will thrive in my pain,
but I will not allow them to take my spirit,
for I am not what they want me to be,
I am what I want me to be,
and I always will be the answer,
to my own problems,
because no matter how much they push, hold, shove,
they will never take me from me.

My identity is set in stone,
My ideals frozen and protected from pickaxes.
I know who I am.
I know my strength.
I know my resolve.
They'll never break my identity,
For it is all I am,
They'll never take me from me.

Adam and Even


He was Born with a flat heart, and died at his birth
But angels heard the cries from such a big depth, they saw his worth
they flew down to help and laughed, the doctors were the silly ones on earth

He was born again, with something so Cerebral oops I mean terrible
The got a pulse  that doctors said was false they were hysterical
Miracles happen everyday believe it or not They fix the irrepairable

His heart pumping , the blood didn't know how to act
News spread through the town, His heart was no longer flat
It was perfect size a whole flap jack stack

The world started with Adam and Eve back than
My world started with adam and even
They said He would be ood never walk, talk, or anything fun again

Now today he rides his bike
He talks he texts they said he wont type
He plays he runs, he plays on the court and the crowd gets hype

What am I to You By Norah Jones
http://www.vagalume.com.br/norah-jones/what-am-i-to-you.html

What am I to You?
I'm feeling rather blue
I thought that we were close
Was it foolish to suppose

Your behavoir of late
Let me tell you straight
Is getting on my nerves
Draining my reserves

I have come round as arranged
Not knowing things have changed
No text to tell me why
You leave me high and dry

We've had so much pleasure
The memories I will treasure
Had orgasms galore
We always want some more

I thought you were my friend
With leisure time to spend
Relaxing close together
Or braving hostile weather

But seeing you has become
A trial to overcome
If you want us to go on
You'll have to change your song

What am I to you?
My thoughts are askew
Were we ever friends
Or was it a pretense

I need to know where I stand
Your friendship would be grand
What am I to you?
Please give me a clue

If we are to part
It will break my heart
But I wish you success
The memories I will bless

I used to fall apart beneath the things you want
was inside of the core
inside of your projection of me
breathless numb I could not find the light outside

I refused to seek inside the things I want
restless in this corpse
living a projection of me
fear took every piece of light I had

Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me

Now I start over the ashes
over the sadness
over and over again from dust

Now I left myself behind
burst out of madness
breaking to build from dust


(Inspired on "The Kill" by 30 seconds to mars)

Lost in You

Somehow I found a way to get lost in you
I thought your tales of love true
little did I know my fall from grace
was so close at hand, I left myself open
for a pain so hurtful , you ripped my beating
heart from my chest holding it in your cold hands
What I saw in you at first light will
forever darken my mind and thoughts
I look in the mirror and see a shadow
of my former self broken beyond repair
falling to my knees screaming out for you
but it seems they fell upon deaf ears
I remember your last glance my way
your eyes were like dark hooks
for the soul, I destroyed myself for
your amusement I fed you my affection
put my trust in you and  somehow I let
you define me, burnt bridges for you
but you never seen the anguish
that burned inside of me
I stare out in
the distance and observe
the fires I started
standing  here on barren ground
with clenched fists of anger
at the demons I let you
release, you left me here to die
in the middle of nowhere
broken and alone with bowed
head and crushed spirit
reminded of what I really am, nothing
arms out-stretched for salvation

(Lost in You by 3 Days Grace )

"Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love.."
(Ed Sheeran "Thinking Out Loud")

You once asked me this, smiled at me as you said it
My first thought was ‘Oh my god, yes…’
But I was too shy to share it
I think I answered with something vague, nonsensical
I do remember the smile on your face….faded

I need to tell you my love, I will always
always remember the taste of your love

Pausing at the keyboard to finish these words
My fingers move across my lips as I stare into space

Remembering when I finally took you in my mouth after months of waiting
Enjoying you, your taste, till I was in a state of bliss

My mouth still remembers the taste of your love
It will, I will…never forget it

It's The Thuggish Ruggish Bo
(inspired by Thuggish Ruggish Bone by Bone Thugs N Harmony)


My sword is my weapon out of this demon I call my mind
I’m losing my patience with time
I’m leaving the dust of death behind and ascending
No pretending that the future is set in stone
I’m stirring the oceans looking for dinosaur bones
Clues to the extinction of a species and the annihilation
Of my telekinesis
I’m one in seven billion, it’s the thuggish ruggish Bo
People are making a killing, I’m just trying to glow
It’s the thuggish ruggish Bo

My salvation lies in my dreams
But everything seems a little too familiar
School and professors taught me to doubt
But the Raven out of the forest came and gave me
Hope and a way out
And I cling to her wings and sing the battle cry
of Victory, no missing me, no history condition me
I'm leaving this reality in a shadow shade of mystery

I stay true to the Raven
She know the way to the rainbow
The red, purple and blue insane hurricane in the brain blow
I know it’s one a way one ticket
But I rather risk it than live life making a wish list
sitting on the toilet doting about pointless decisions

Because I don’t know the real from the wrong
Me and reality don’t dance and can’t get along
So I’m on my own and I’m already gone, Bo gone
I would like to fight but I got a flight to catch
And if you don’t see me waving back know-
Bo gone, Bo gone, Bo gone home
It’s the thuggish ruggish Bo
oh no
I told you too much
But it's still the thuggish ruggish pick up your luggage--
mother fuckers don't love us--
Bo
