Has Death Done Us Apart
Has death done us apart
when I kicked you from my heart
and treated you like demonic orbs
and prayed until you disapeared?
Has death done us apart
when I slipped and broke your heart
as I cradeled you like a baby
and rocked you until you fiercly hated me?
Has death done us apart
when I used you for my heart
and I took on this little show
to entertain you so you wont know?
Has death done us apart
when I found another heart
and crept around to keep you here
and hid me from those eyes I fear?
Has death done us apart

Less Than Friends
Flies will eat you from the ground
and hold you up when you are down
and pile you away like an idle mound
and kick you beyond being found.
Flies will hold your head up right
and tell you how to live and lie
and take you by the hand and guide
and teach you how to fear and hide
Flies will catch you when you wrong
and shame you til your weak and ill
and make you pay each time you fall
and strip you down until your raw
Flies will break you if you fight
and corrode you into being alike
and shape-shift your thoughts into lies...

A Serpent's Innocence
Thoughts fill in the spaces where silence overflows.
A mind that's subject to basics,
A truth thats better told.
But bright as you are thriving innocent!
Your fangs they thrust out tears of poison,
each time you trial forbidden grounds.
The fiery-eyed beasts are magnificant!
And they rip you from your glorious sound...
So sweet, you are, when your happy.
Living peaceful by the prey you choose not to use
And how weak you are compared to those who hunt you
But hard to comprehend, and easy to lose.
But your power is...

Inner-Beauty
Rethink beauty. It's not what you see.
What you see is what people tell you to think.
You think what you know,
If your told the truth.
But you believe anything that you practice.
Rethink your feelings. Are they real?
OR did you feel what others thought you would?
Did you think before you cried, or laughed?
Do you smile when you see another smiling?
Are those feelings mutual,
or copied?
Rethink trust. You seek it in your friends.
Is it love or cowardice
to think you could not make it in the world alone?
The happiness you aquire...

Crush
Everytime you touch me,
it burns.
Each time your fingertips brush my sides,
it hurts.
I don't know whats worse,
my obsession, or my disperse.
I just want you all the time.
Still I wait, i'm kept in line.
You're so simple and hard to find,
yet I see you all the time.
With my sleepless nights, I am awake,
and I consider each intake.
My breaths I suffer, my chest may break,
and I can't find your love, it's fake.
Body slam my thoughts around.
Make these thoughts of you so sound.
When reaching up, and looking down ...
it burns.
Each time your fingertips brush my sides,
it hurts.
I don't know whats worse,
my obsession, or my disperse.
I just want you all the time.
Still I wait, i'm kept in line.
You're so simple and hard to find,
yet I see you all the time.
With my sleepless nights, I am awake,
and I consider each intake.

and I can't find your love, it's fake.

Dream-Life and death
Death is lurking close tonight.
this gut feeling cant be right.
alone i sleep beneath a tree.
as shadows calm my misery.
the wind is blowing here and there
the trees are shaken until bare
and here i dream of simple things
of all the good of life descending.
of simple days that pass me by
leaves me alone and weakly lie
and in my dreams i reminisce
of family and friends; my first kiss
with no regrets i breathe goodbye
as i wait for death to take my Life
this gut feeling cant be right.
alone i sleep beneath a tree.
as shadows calm my misery.
the wind is blowing here and there
the trees are shaken until bare
and here i dream of simple things
of all the good of life descending.
of simple days that pass me by
leaves me alone and weakly lie
and in my dreams i reminisce
of family and friends; my first kiss
with no regrets i breathe goodbye
as i wait for death to take my Life
