Sacrifice
I want something sweet tonight
I’m not sure what
This sweet, sweet tea isn’t doing the trick
Nor my favorite yogurt
I bought to curb those cravings
But healthy isn’t always fun
I miss my gummy bears and licorice
This really fucking sucks
So does the pain in my abs
I didn’t know I had
Until that work out that just about killed me
I can’t cough or sneeze without pain
It’ll be worth it though
Sooner or later
When I fit back into my favorite pair of jeans
And that pretty skirt I miss so much
Right?
Please...

My Vacation
Finally a vacation for me
A few I get to take, but only three
So, here off we go…
Tornado, you’re coming with me
I want to see
Experience those mind games of yours
And the words you scribe
So eloquently
We’ll have some fun
And I won’t tell a soul what happens
In Venice, of course
Flowergirl, you’re my girl
You’ll keep me grounded
And share some stories of that place
We both know
Feed on each other’s encouraging souls
And remind each other of the other’s strength
Share a few bottles of wine (or whatever we can...

Test
If I stood before the devil today or tomorrow
Would I recognize him?
Would he be a test
Or would he be coming to claim my blackened soul?
If it be a test
Would I pass
Or would I fail?
Stand my ground
And state my faith
Without fear of persecution
Or would I
Fail
Succumb to the temptations
He places in my way
Or
Am I being tested now?
And if I am
I have to say
I’m failing
Completely
And miserably
Would I recognize him?
Would he be a test
Or would he be coming to claim my blackened soul?
If it be a test
Would I pass
Or would I fail?
Stand my ground
And state my faith
Without fear of persecution
Or would I
Fail
Succumb to the temptations
He places in my way
Or
Am I being tested now?
And if I am
I have to say
I’m failing
Completely
And miserably

Falling
I’m not looking for fortune
Or even any amount of fame
Just enough to be more than getting by
Enough to pay all my fines
More than hand to mouth
Week by week
It all goes by so fast
It’s hard to stay on that train
Get back on
Only to fall right off
Can’t keep up
Can I reach it again
This time
I know you’re sheltering me
As always, you do
But
My Faith can only carry me so far
Just like so many
I do all I know how
All I can
It’s never enough it seems
You say you’ll provide
And provide you do
But that...
Or even any amount of fame
Just enough to be more than getting by
Enough to pay all my fines
More than hand to mouth
Week by week
It all goes by so fast
It’s hard to stay on that train
Get back on
Only to fall right off
Can’t keep up
Can I reach it again
This time
I know you’re sheltering me
As always, you do
But
My Faith can only carry me so far
Just like so many
I do all I know how
All I can
It’s never enough it seems
You say you’ll provide
And provide you do

Siren Song
Awoken to a touch
Silkily caressing my cheeks
Moving down my neck
Brushing over each breast
As your warm breath whispers on my skin
I’m stuck
Paralyzed in this bed
As your hands begin to remove
Those black silk
Your lips never ceasing to touch my skin
Those smooth hands sliding up each leg
As you continue to breathe on me
Sending chills up my body
Catching my breath
Hips lifting for a touch of your lips
Teasing me
Is what you’re doing
As your Siren’s song
Sings against my skin
Before you really begin
Silkily caressing my cheeks
Moving down my neck
Brushing over each breast
As your warm breath whispers on my skin
I’m stuck
Paralyzed in this bed
As your hands begin to remove
Those black silk
Your lips never ceasing to touch my skin
Those smooth hands sliding up each leg
As you continue to breathe on me
Sending chills up my body
Catching my breath
Hips lifting for a touch of your lips
Teasing me
Is what you’re doing
As your Siren’s song
Sings against my skin
Before you really begin

Nothing Much
I'm Bitchy today
every little piece of petty crap
pissing me off
making my claws come out
my fangs push through
One word
that's all it takes
at least today
so watch your tongue
and your movements
before the rage begins
I can't control it
not right now
it's what's feeding my soul
getting me through
Looking for a fight
a throat to slash
eyes to claw out
and a heart to tear to shreds
but
I don't really want
that kind of fight
I'm not sure what
I'm really looking for tonight
...

Chaotic Rampage
I’m sick of the fucking laundry
Picking it up off the floor
Especially after it’s been washed
Over and over again
This is always how it goes
Wash, dry, fold, put away
Back on the floor again
Making the cats a bed
I’m sick of the toys
Always on the floor
No, not always
I make you pick them up
Day after day
Time after time
You’re learning to put away as you go
But I can’t always remind you
As I’m catching up on all the other crap
I’m sick of the dishes
I can’t ever find the silverware
And how many plates have...
Picking it up off the floor
Especially after it’s been washed
Over and over again
This is always how it goes
Wash, dry, fold, put away
Back on the floor again
Making the cats a bed
I’m sick of the toys
Always on the floor
No, not always
I make you pick them up
Day after day
Time after time
You’re learning to put away as you go
But I can’t always remind you
As I’m catching up on all the other crap
I’m sick of the dishes
I can’t ever find the silverware

Dance with Me
It’s raining here today
The thunder’s loud
Makes me jump a time or two
Then laugh of course
‘cause I love the sound
The lightening’s beautiful too
All over the sky
Here and there
The sparks are flying
The rain is pouring down
Can’t see much in front of me
Come closer please
So I can see you
And take my hand
So we can dance in the rain
And see what happens
The thunder’s loud
Makes me jump a time or two
Then laugh of course
‘cause I love the sound
The lightening’s beautiful too
All over the sky
Here and there
The sparks are flying
The rain is pouring down
Can’t see much in front of me
Come closer please
So I can see you
And take my hand
So we can dance in the rain
And see what happens

Punished
Are you really going to punish me
For telling you the truth
The truth you say you always wanted
I guess you can’t handle it
But you can handle his abuse
Taking advantage of you
The money you make from your job
I know he stays home
Just to watch the kids
I respect that, I really do
I’ve been there
Understand the need
But sacrifices have to be made
And he’s not willing
You’ve left him once
That time he choked you
Locked you in the house
Took him back
Forgiveness is fine
A necessity in life
Especially with a baby...
For telling you the truth

Force
I told you I’d never do that
Too many times it’d been forced
Too many times I’d held my bile down
You said you understood
But one day
I had nothing to give
So I tried it again anyways
Just to give you a gift
I shouldn’t have gone against my conviction
Because as my tongue touched you
Your hand was placed upon my head
Forcing me further down
And that day I held my bile down
Cried in the shower after
Feeling like nothing
I mean nothing to you
Except something you get to use
You didn’t think you’d done any wrong
Maybe you’d...

Send Me a Bottle
I wanna go home
Wherever that is
I don’t know
But I wanna go home
Home where you can always heal a broken heart
A place to dry those tears
Or catch them in a bottle
Toss them in the sea
I caught my tears
Put’em in a bottle
I wrote your name on it
Tomorrow I’ll toss it in the sea
Maybe it’ll wash up to your toes
The next time they’re in the ocean
What will you do with these tears of mine
Will you bring them to me
Give them back
And use them to mend this broken heart
Wear them around your neck ...
Wherever that is

Bath
Heart closing
So slowly
Constricting
Someone is squeezing
So tightly
It doesn’t hurt
Just pressure
Uncomfortable
Agonizing pressure
The hand around my heart
Squeezing
Without remorse
Squeezing
Until my stomach churns
Pushing those salty tears to the surface
I keep trying to push them down
But I’ve lost control
Those salty tears
Are pulsing through my eyes
Spilling down my cheeks
A stop at my chin
And then they
Begin to bathe my breasts
So slowly
Constricting
Someone is squeezing
So tightly
It doesn’t hurt
Just pressure
Uncomfortable
Agonizing pressure
The hand around my heart
Squeezing
Without remorse
Squeezing
Until my stomach churns
Pushing those salty tears to the surface
I keep trying to push them down
But I’ve lost control
Those salty tears
Are pulsing through my eyes
Spilling down my cheeks
A stop at my chin
And then they
Begin to bathe my breasts
