f**k Love
The blind could see
the way your lips ensnared my heartbeat.
With cruel cadence, your tongue bid
a farewell to something beautiful,
like the Spring bids farewell to Winter;
and in the Summer,
your light reflected off the fucking Moon as
you
walked away.
In the Autumn, the
grace
I gave you was a cool
whispered wind grasping
all he could and hoping
to spin the Earth again, but only catching
drifting leaves.
Go to hell.
You didn't catch me when I fell and I could tell
that...
the way your lips ensnared my heartbeat.
With cruel cadence, your tongue bid
a farewell to something beautiful,
like the Spring bids farewell to Winter;
and in the Summer,
your light reflected off the fucking Moon as
you
walked away.
In the Autumn, the
grace
I gave you was a cool
whispered wind grasping
all he could and hoping
to spin the Earth again, but only catching
drifting leaves.
Go to hell.
You didn't catch me when I fell and I could tell
that...

How a Heart Can Break
When it's meant to be, it'll be."
Those are the lies they fed me
Feeding my mind with fairy tales about nirvana and love
And a God in the Heavens and stars above.
You lied, you lied, you lied ‘til the diamonds in my eyes turned to sand.
You lied, you lied, you lied when the most honest of truths was in my hand.
Where the sky meets the sea,
It was meant to be.
Where the sky meets the sea,
It was meant to be.
This world of tears, but no crying,
Sent her away without even trying.
How can someone's opinion of me exist before...
Those are the lies they fed me
Feeding my mind with fairy tales about nirvana and love
And a God in the Heavens and stars above.
You lied, you lied, you lied ‘til the diamonds in my eyes turned to sand.
You lied, you lied, you lied when the most honest of truths was in my hand.
Where the sky meets the sea,
It was meant to be.
Where the sky meets the sea,
It was meant to be.
This world of tears, but no crying,
Sent her away without even trying.
How can someone's opinion of me exist before...

Racheal (Pt. II)
Our promises were kept even through hardship.
The feelings fused our souls by fate's graces that day.
Our lives are connected by eternal friendship.
The roads were unpaved, so we paved our own way.
The Moon rises over my home,
but I only see the stars;
and as I look,
I can't help but wonder,
"Are you looking too?"
The light still shines through hollows
of heart and soul; even the deepest ...

Things Exes Say
I just wanted you to be happy.
I thought it was all ok.
You didn't tell me you didn't want me to do that.
They were just a friend.
I never meant to hurt you.
This is all your fault.
You should have known better.
I told you so.

Trust
You may as well have said "You're cheating on me aren't you?"
And just to end the conversation,
I would have lied and said
"Yes."
And just to end the conversation,
I would have lied and said
"Yes."

We Need To Talk
I got a text one day that said "we need to talk."
And my only response was "okay."
She said, "You don't love me do you?"
And I said "not in the way you want me to."
I said "I love you in the 'I'm afraid to lose you' way."
She said, "What do you mean?"
I told her that I have a real hard time facing my own feelings. Sometimes I mistake the type of love I feel for a person.
I love you, but not in the 'I want to be with you' way.
I love you in the 'I'm never letting go of you, so please stay' kind of way,
The 'let me comfort you and tell you...

A Lone Boy
He takes a long ass drag of his blunt.
Feeling so alone, he looks up at the stars.
They seem to stare directly back at him.
He smiled, but they don't respond
Because they're just stars.
So he takes another hit.
Feeling so alone, he looks up at the stars.
They seem to stare directly back at him.
He smiled, but they don't respond
Because they're just stars.
So he takes another hit.

Heart Swings
Ah, Winter's air. Crisp against my skin.
And Kaleb is dead.
I smile to myself.
It's that time of year again
where I push ever onward.
Kaleb is dead.
I watch shadow after shadow pass by.
How many hours has it been?
I kick my feet out.
The branch creaks trying to hold
It's new weight.
I can relate to the branch.
I swing back, pull my feet in, swing forward.
He's really dead.
The branch creaks once more;
From the big oak on a hill.
I can relate.
Stress weighs me down
As though I have my own little...
And Kaleb is dead.
I smile to myself.

Lament//Apology//Secrets (Happy. Part 2)
My name is Tryston and I have secrets. Lacey, Kaleb, and Angel have perished due to my own selfishness. I could have fought my paralysis as Wolf raped my Angel, as cop shot my Kaleb, and as Dear Mother moved us to Texas away from my Lacey. To what do I owe my life, if not them?
I expected my teen years to be quite exhausting and full of pain. Contrarily, it was full of life and happiness by comparison. Why am I happy when I lost my three closest friends? What right do I have to be happy without them? My selfishness consumes me always. After Lacey died, I experienced death 2 more times,...

Fire Vixen
How did you steal my soul?
Is that it in the palm of your hand?
How did I get there?
You're a magician, I swear.
Your hair of fire burns bright.
Your curves slope gently;
Hourglass créme pie.
I smirk at the thought.
I reel my soul in,
Casting it back out
Into the ocean
And somehow,
Somehow,
I land in your palms
Once more.
Is that it in the palm of your hand?

Casting it back out
Into the ocean
And somehow,
