POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
If (Then)
If I don't make it to where I'm going tomorrow,
Then I'll kill myself today.
If I lend myself the things that I borrow,
Then I'll never have to pay.
If I have nothing left to lose,
Then I'll have nothing left at all.
If I have everything but you,
Then you can find me hanging in the hall.
If suicide is selfish,
Then what do we call life?
If death feels rather hellish,
Then hand me the knife.
If happy is what you call yourself,
Then will you ever know anything else?
If we don't work together,
Then this goodbye is forever.
Then I'll kill myself today.

v2.1.9 (Standby)
Every new model
A little bit better than it's assembler.
Every new model
A little less human, a little bit nimbler.
A little faster, a little stronger,
But still just as demented as the last.
A little smarter, works even longer,
But still no better: it's the devil's cast.
A cast of mortals, humans drained of their person,
Just an empty shell of what "human" once meant.
A cast of mortals, people who didn't live to learn this,
Just an empty shell of a person who's been well spent.
All of these... in the palm of my hand....

Poison
I rip the label off and tilt it back.
When the poison takes effect,
I want to look homeless
Because home walked out on me when she left.
So I take a knife to my jeans and rip them,
And I struggle it through my shirt,
And it drags against my chest
But where is the hurt?
Why would it hurt?
My chest was torn open when she ripped out my heart.
Why would it hurt?
My chest went numb when she tore it apart.
Regardless, my heart began to throb
As the poison reached my blood;
I hear, "pump-pump, pump-pump, pump-pump,"...

Angels to Ashes
You're an angel,
I'm a monster,
But I love you anyway.
So come down from heaven,
I'll come out of Hell,
And we'll meet halfway.
You supply angelic intimacy,
I'll bring the sinful passion,
And our two halves can make a whole.
We may burn for eternity,
But at least we'll burn together,
So let love take its toll.
We're playing with love,
Playing with matches,
We're from dust to dust,
From angels to ashes.

Welcome to the Nightmare
Welcome to my nightmare,
Where they say that death is the only wake.
Welcome to a place between never and here,
Where I hope to God you learn to enjoy your stay.
But to enjoy is to see, so close your eyes
So as to see the nightmare a little clearer.
But be warned--this isn't a dream, it's life,
So you know what life's like when there is no one when you look in the mirror.
Now open them to a whole other world,
A nightmarish daydream, where souls are hung by high spirits.
Now don't get too happy, my precious girl,
A similar fate awaits...

Let's Write A Song (Rollercoaster)
Let's write a song about us,
About how we got where we are.
Let's write a song about lust,
About how much I wish we had gotten that far.
Let's write a song about trust,
About how much of it I put in you.
Let's write a song about guts,
About how much of them it took me to ask to be two.
See, our lives are like a rollercoaster, flipped upside down:
You can't see where we're headed, but that's okay,
See, because it's not knowing that turns that frown.
You probably can't see what I'm saying, but one day...
You'll see, we're gonna rock this...
About how we got where we are.

An Emo Kid's Philosiphy
If life is just a game,
Then death must be the prize.
If life is a race that we can win,
Then near death experiences mean I missed the shortcut.
If life is a bridge, isn't death on the other end?
Then what happens if I jump off instead?
If your life is heaven and dying feels like hell,
Then my life is hell, and when I die tonight, it will feel like heaven.

My Star
Sometimes I sit on the grass
And have to remind myself
Some things just don't last,
That's why I'm by myself.
As I look up, at a million billion stars,
Even just that ten mile move made them look so different.
Because my favorite star of all, the one that warmed my heart,
Used to sit two feet by my side, and now she's just so distant.
Even after three years, time still hasn't blinded me
From what the good old days were like,
Why can't time let me think that I'm still with her, that we're still a "we"?
Even if all I'm believing is...

"Us"
What do I want?
I wanna know what she wants.
What she wants from me.
What she wants from us.
Does she want an "us"?
If she wants an "us",
Then I guess I want an "us".
And I guess she would want...
To know what "us" wants.
What does "us" want?
Well, I guess that "us" would want
What we both want.
I obviously don't know what she wants,
So what do I want?
I want her,
I want her to want me,
No, I want her to want "us".
Does she want "us"?...

Black Widow
Kiss my scars and I may let you relive them,
Relive the moment when we made them together.
Kiss me black and blue until you feel the rhythm,
Relive my blood pulsing out where your nails dug for what felt like forever.
I enjoy your pleasure, love to see that smile,
Even if mine had to be cut a little wider.
I enjoy your company, though I haven't enjoyed you in a while.
Even if yours are the only hands at my neck, grip them tighter.
Poison me with your kiss, and poison me with your breath,
I wanna be, need to be your man.
Poison me...

Zombie Generation
Less than pauper, less than thief,
We have nothing, as you see.
Rob the richest, feed our needs,
We are the zombie generation.
Break the broken, you love to.
Feed the bloated, he loves you.
Insult the weak, watch him stew.
We are the rebels of a nation.
Less than sinner, less than saint,
Watch us simmer, watch us faint,
We will break out, won't be slain,
We live on with our dedication.
We can not live, we survive,
Yet in numbers, we still thrive,
We'll kill you yet, join the line,
With all your homocidal inclination....

One Foot Outta Hell
So I guess this is what it feels like
To not want to be dead but not know where to go.
So I guess this is goodbye for you and I;
To hesitate is to remove your doubt that I just don't know.
To be or not to be was never the question,
The question was how long were we to be before we were to be not.
To live or to just die is never the question,
The question is how will I live so that your heart will remember me when the whole world's forgot.
And I'd take a step toward anything if that step brought one foot outta hell,
And I'd walk a mile in...
To not want to be dead but not know where to go.
