No air
Broke down and breathed today
Arched my back way out
took a big gulp
inhaled
Held on tight
until my lungs felt like they where about to burst
then I let go
Felt good
for the moment
but my body still craved the inhale
the pounding in my chest
nausea swirling
the hold , wait
feeling of death knocking at my door
I never felt more alive in that one minute and two seconds
Arched my back way out
took a big gulp
inhaled
Held on tight
until my lungs felt like they where about to burst
then I let go
Felt good
for the moment
but my body still craved the inhale
the pounding in my chest
nausea swirling
the hold , wait
feeling of death knocking at my door
I never felt more alive in that one minute and two seconds

Eric
Had a lot to drink and I miss you
there's no one to share things with
not like I shared with you
and no one gets mad at me like you did
they don't have the dimple
their hair doesn't stand up after they run their hand through , while throughly pissed
our how rubbed your thumb over my bottom lip
nuzzled under my ear
my spot
no one has found it yet
Maybe it's the 5th shot talking
Or it's just fact
that you weren't necessary
but I need you
still and most likely always will
there's no one to share things with
not like I shared with you
and no one gets mad at me like you did
they don't have the dimple
their hair doesn't stand up after they run their hand through , while throughly pissed
our how rubbed your thumb over my bottom lip
nuzzled under my ear
my spot
no one has found it yet
Maybe it's the 5th shot talking
Or it's just fact
that you weren't necessary
but I need you

Heaven remains
Parted lips on his
slowly shutting
Our eyes locked
as one
entwined hands held above my head
And I fall
numb
into movements
his slow slide in and out
my beating heart
naked pressed into him
licking sweat from the nook of his neck
swearing oh god
Over and over
like a whore in church
until no more words can be spoken
and just the feel of heaven remains
slowly shutting
Our eyes locked
as one
entwined hands held above my head
And I fall
numb
into movements
his slow slide in and out
my beating heart
naked pressed into him
licking sweat from the nook of his neck
swearing oh god
Over and over
like a whore in church
until no more words can be spoken
and just the feel of heaven remains

Silly girl
No such thing as a Hero in disguise
free falling into your arms
yearning to love you
or heal up those broken words
wounds
Silly girl
blind and stupid
believing in the invisibility cloak of him or her
it was grand
while it lasted
until the rise
became the fall
And you where just the game
with parted lips that fit
for the moment
First lesson that should've been taught
No heart beats as one
free falling into your arms
yearning to love you
or heal up those broken words
wounds
Silly girl
blind and stupid
believing in the invisibility cloak of him or her
it was grand
while it lasted
until the rise
became the fall
And you where just the game
with parted lips that fit
for the moment
First lesson that should've been taught
No heart beats as one

Let it be
You took my spring
and turned it into fall
spewing your accusations
from rose colored lips
while I watched
with arms open
and rain cascading down my checks
waiting for your warmth
waiting for you to continue the pain
it sits right for me
even if I don't deserve it
it's what I'm used to
it's what I know
I tried to get by without it
and I tried to give it back
even though loving you is so very wrong
and will always be hard
but leaving you
will kill the rest of me
And I've always given...
and turned it into fall
spewing your accusations
from rose colored lips
while I watched
with arms open
and rain cascading down my checks
waiting for your warmth
waiting for you to continue the pain
it sits right for me
even if I don't deserve it
it's what I'm used to

I tried to get by without it
and I tried to give it back
even though loving you is so very wrong

Picture of hell
It's true what they say
that death looks like sleep
aside from the white pillar of skin
Machines and wires gone
Beeping no longer a reason to wait
the inevitable
sheet pulled up to the chest
as if to ward off the cold
Death is cold
And If you could imagine a hell
watching a casket being lowered to the ground
Has to be it
It just has to be
that death looks like sleep
aside from the white pillar of skin
Machines and wires gone
Beeping no longer a reason to wait
the inevitable
sheet pulled up to the chest
as if to ward off the cold
Death is cold
And If you could imagine a hell
watching a casket being lowered to the ground
Has to be it
It just has to be

Taunton state is closed
Went back to my old job today
I missed the halls
Missed the welcoming feeling
Everything was where I left it
The broom near the fireplace
chair in the right corner
even my name tag still hung on the hook near the exit sign
Smelt different today
Felt different also
The air thick with hatred
and bad intentions
It clung to everything
Desperate and unyielding
trying to find its way inside
to suffocate
to take hold of my beating heart
live in and strive within
But I didn't let it
I am too strong
Too...

Pink dress
When I was ten my dad bought me this pink dress
I hated pink
And what did a skinny tomboy need a dress for?
I
hated that
pink dress
But my dad wanted me to have it
So I kept it
I even wore it once to hang with the boys
They didn't approve
I
hated that
pink dress
even more
My dad said I should grow up and wear it to school
Be a lady for once
not some gangly looking boy
So I...

It's not worth the cuts
Broken mirrors
Shattered picture frames
Picked up the glass
Mapped it all out in my head how to fix the pieces
But the reflection staring at me
In all the shards
Had me thinking
Why bother possibly cutting my fingers
With what's done
It was done for a reason
Shit won't change
smiles stay the same in every mirror
Even a rearview
And the glass of a picture frame
Is the same as casket
Shattered picture frames
Picked up the glass
Mapped it all out in my head how to fix the pieces
But the reflection staring at me
In all the shards
Had me thinking
Why bother possibly cutting my fingers
With what's done
It was done for a reason
Shit won't change
smiles stay the same in every mirror
Even a rearview
And the glass of a picture frame
Is the same as casket

These blocks
Not much has changed in the hood since we all was kids
There's still kids sharing clothes
That one drug dealer is still on the block praying not to catch a case
The prostitues still care a bit about your wife
Her high is just worth more then the unshed tears from a women they will never meet
Cripts still hate the bloods
And the bloods wish they where kings
Some are ten years clean but they dream
Of shoe strings and syringes
Half the tables are still far from steak
Predators still prey
The weak still act brave to fit in ...

Silliness
People always wonder what's going on in my head
when I have that look in my eyes
it's really just lipstick and Chris Isaak songs sometimes I think about the past
and sometimes it's about the cereal I had in the morning
mostly it's that poison that broke through all my defenses
And how I want to be kissed One more time before I die
when I have that look in my eyes
it's really just lipstick and Chris Isaak songs sometimes I think about the past
and sometimes it's about the cereal I had in the morning
mostly it's that poison that broke through all my defenses
And how I want to be kissed One more time before I die
