lie
and she cries fake tears
with a sneer, a leer,
as she does things unforgiving,
but begs for forgiveness.
a little white lie, and she kills a heart; fresh and ready
and plunging for it, she takes another long breath
and plunging for it, she marks herself inconsiderate.
and she tries too hard,
to let down, to love hate,
with a fucking threehundredkissesaday,
she forgets her own name
and cries for forgiveness.
so she laughs fake laughs,
lust and luck, with pure infatuation,
she takes his hand and leads him on,...

His Fortress
He built a wall around his life,
As invisible; as invincible as he himself,
He thought.
Tore it down,
she came with glitter eyes,
a little smile came crashing down,
and he tasted a contagious share of laughter.
A life of stone she melted from him,
And colour he saw, since, what-
eternity?
Trust, he never believes in dreams,
He never even believes in what he sees,
Scoffing at sunset kisses,
He knew better than eternal love,
He knew better than an old lady's wedding ring.
He built a wall around his already caged up...
As invisible; as invincible as he himself,
He thought.
Tore it down,
she came with glitter eyes,

and he tasted a contagious share of laughter.
A life of stone she melted from him,

Santa, Santa
Santa, Santa, are you there?
I haven't written much to you,
I stopped when I was seven, you see,
When I stopped believing dreams came true.
With little luck, I placed myself,
In the arms of the wrong father,
You told us parents loved us so,
But I had love from neither.
Santa, Santa, I prayed every night,
I never missed a day,
When I would cry to God, as my daddy,
Threw his life away.
I've lived a life of a stranger's, Santa,
Was I good or was I bad?
Is this letter too long overdue,
From wasting the tears I had?

wasted
empty wrappers strewn on parquet; torn and crumpled,
with nothing more than a curtain of dust,
choking her to sleep.
each day her nightmares fail to please.
and the leaves wrinkled with time,
outside the decay coloured windows,
and the moths don't sleep,
where her treasures lie;
a couch of empty bottles.
six years ago, her daughter left for good.
rags for robes, she croaks a tune,
of delusional paradise,
and once more, she drags herself
over another night.

bitter
If you could see me now,
With my head hung low,
Would you take the world and throw,
throw your faults and sins,
Like i told you to?
If you could see me now,
With a gun shot wound,
Would you kiss my lips,
And fulfil the promises,
Every single one you broke?
There's no way I can resist a little temptation,
When temptation is the last resort,
Suicide? No, it's self destruction,
No, it's when I come back to kill you,
But at least, for eternity.
If you could see me now,
With a kiss for a kill,
Secrets wouldn't...

honeysuckle
look up, sunrise,
Sunshine,
And the world smiles again,
Another 24 hours until -
And the tulip kisses don't mean a thing,
Not until the next freefalling.
Sleep, slumber clouds,
The rain tiptoes on the roof of,
The lovers' chalet,
Another night of romance until -
Painted my finger nails and eyelashes fluttered pretty,
Beauty was a mere lullaby.
And who knew he was everyone else's mirage?
And who knew he wasn't only for me?
Dance under the moon,
It's not yet full, but perhaps,
One more wolf cry until...

A Prostitute's Daughter
Mama's home, what does she bring this time,
A stranger of one night.
I give a glance, he nods his head,
Well at least he acknowledged my existence,
Unlike the others.
And I'll just go back to work as her bedroom door closes.
Maybe he'll work with her nicer. Just nicer.
Baby sister, please don't cry,
Mama might just get your milk in time,
No I won't listen to what the other kids say,
I won't look at the way men leer at her ways.
Do I blame my mother, do I hate?
No I don't blame her but yes I hate,
I hate coming home everyday to...

Oh, shit
And your screaming makes no sense at all.
Yes I feel it trickling down my spine,
No it's not rain, it's just the burst of the tap,
Of a soon-to-be blood stained bowl,
Welcome to my world.
Forget the kisses, just give me those words,
You know, you know what we both want,
Fucking hell, I'll cut you out,
And wear you around me as display.
You didn't even own the right to look me in the face, did you?
Humming chaotic tunes to sleep,
Was I once alive, maybe?
Oh yes, the lipstick's redder than usual,
Oh yes, my kiss is fatal....

Oh, tie-die, you're dead
Spoken in the voice of a 6 year old.
-------------------
M'am, would you like to play tie-die?
It's a fairly simple game,
Oh, sorry have you never heard of it,
M'am just follow it by its name.
It's quite a well known thing to do,
You see it day by day,
It's the cause of congregation, even for adults,
See, this is how you play.
All you have to do,
Is point your finger at any person,
I've pointed at John, Sally, Paula and Sue,
And just gave a good enough reason,
John, he sat on his mama's cat,
Sally, she stole my...

Part III: Mama's Custard Pie
It's been a long road,
too far gone,
I won't go home tonight,
I'm too far gone.
I'm sorry mama,
for letting you down,
You won't see me again,
For quite a long while.
I'm sorry mama,
The promise I broke,
When I said I'd come back,
Mama, Johnny's returned alone.
Mama, will you make me,
You creamy custard pie,
Of love and heart,
Mama, don't cry.
Mama, I'll miss it,
Your kitchen of love,
I'm feeling cold, mama
There's no one to hold.
Johnny's home, mama,
Please kiss him and smile,
He...

I won't go home tonight,

Part II: The Last Conversation
"I have faith in you brother."
"I have faith in you, too."
"Shed no fear, brother,
I'll be back soon."
"I trust you will, brother,
But stand brave,
The duty's on me,
You musn't stay."
"I love you, brother."
"I love you, too.
And when you see mama,
Please tell her I do."
"I won't let you go, brother,
I'll lay here with you."
"Don't be a fool,
Home is waiting for you."
From the silence of the scene,

Part I: Watch Them Go
Watch them go,
You must watch them go,
Struggle in silence,
With your head held low,
Cry, if you would,
If you feel the sorrow,
Painful, you must be,
To depend on tomorrow,
You're hating your leaders,
The soul deceivers,
Killing your freedom,
With false acclaims.
Watch them go,
You were forced to watch them go,
Let your tears slide down,
With your head held strong.
They'll return when it's done,
Just wave goodbye,
If the telegram arrives,
You'll surely know why.
