Sweet Dreams
There’s a deep ache in my soul
As if someone has died
But the person who plagues my thoughts
Is still alive
Almost every night I dream of you
Your voice my lullaby
You tried to wake me from my dreams
But I’d rather die
Your cruel words sliced into me
Like a million razors
Screaming through my veins
The pain a memory I savour
What is it about you that’s so hypnotizing?
You’re a drug
And I’m an addict...
As if someone has died
But the person who plagues my thoughts
Is still alive
Almost every night I dream of you
Your voice my lullaby
You tried to wake me from my dreams
But I’d rather die
Your cruel words sliced into me
Like a million razors
Screaming through my veins
The pain a memory I savour
What is it about you that’s so hypnotizing?
You’re a drug
And I’m an addict...

Can I write my way into your heart?
Can I write my way into your heart?
I’d sit and count
Each of my tears
Waiting for you
I’d watch the droplets
Pool at my feet
Reflecting a broken body
Staring back at me
Trapped in suffering
I’d keep your memory a secret
Secrets which would pile, and pile
Distorting reality
The world around
Fades away
Blurs
My thoughts
Are all that’s real
When my eyes focus
On my surroundings
I’m curled in a ball
Trembling, crying
But in my mind
In my...

Distorting reality

Tragic melody
My heart is breaking
How much can it take?
You’re all I see when I close my eyes
And in every moment I’m awake
My words are jumbled
Letters bounce around in my head
There are so many things
I wish we hadn’t said
I don’t know how to stand it
I don’t know what to do
How can I stay away
When all I want is you
You send my stomach a flutter
Turn my heart into butter
Make my words stutter
I love you I mutter
If love would have made you stay
I would have told you I loved you...
How much can it take?
You’re all I see when I close my eyes
And in every moment I’m awake
My words are jumbled
Letters bounce around in my head
There are so many things
I wish we hadn’t said
I don’t know how to stand it
I don’t know what to do
How can I stay away
When all I want is you
You send my stomach a flutter
Turn my heart into butter
Make my words stutter
I love you I mutter
If love would have made you stay
I would have told you I loved you...

Heartbreak game
Silly little girl
It’s all in your head
He thinks
You’re better off dead
You are a pawn
And this is a game
But your hearts not equipped
To cope with this pain
You’re waste of time
A waste of space
How can his heart
Be filled with so much hate?
Oh sweet darling
It’s all just a game
Don’t hesitate
Because he’ll drive you insane
Hurting me
What did he gain
My heart once full of love
Is now filled only with pain
It’s all in your head
He thinks
You’re better off dead
You are a pawn
And this is a game
But your hearts not equipped
To cope with this pain
You’re waste of time
A waste of space
How can his heart
Be filled with so much hate?
Oh sweet darling
It’s all just a game
Don’t hesitate
Because he’ll drive you insane
Hurting me
What did he gain
My heart once full of love
Is now filled only with pain

Afraid of my heart
My crush for you
Hit me like a ton of brick
I was sent off balance
I must escape from this
I’d repeat
This cannot be real
I’m delusional, I’m empty
I don’t know how to feel
But you seemed like someone
I could easily fall for
And so these thoughts plagued me
Causing an internal war
So my heart went running
But denying my feelings was an empty crime
For I knew they’d catch up
It was only a matter of time
How could I confront you
When I could barely speak
My feelings...
Hit me like a ton of brick
I was sent off balance
I must escape from this
I’d repeat
This cannot be real
I’m delusional, I’m empty
I don’t know how to feel
But you seemed like someone
I could easily fall for
And so these thoughts plagued me
Causing an internal war
So my heart went running
But denying my feelings was an empty crime
For I knew they’d catch up
It was only a matter of time
How could I confront you
When I could barely speak
My feelings...

We were playing different games
While I was busy counting
Noughts and crosses
You won with four in a row
I hit you with an ace of spades
Your bishop trapped me at checkmate
I played my queen of hearts
and met with your black king
My x’s and deck were sent splaying
But your cold hard pieces remained unchanged
Noughts and crosses
You won with four in a row
I hit you with an ace of spades
Your bishop trapped me at checkmate
I played my queen of hearts
and met with your black king
My x’s and deck were sent splaying

A picture
Pretty pictures, smiles
Hide tears, and empty hearts
Photographs are just snippets
A small moment captured
The light and the hope
Which desolves away with the flash
A photo illustrates a miracle
A lapse in reality
Where smiles disguise
The truth
Momentary happiness
Is trapped forever
In pigments mirroring life
For no one can be eternally happy
Unrealistic delusions
Grins from ear to ear
Which fade
Like water spilt on a photo
Distorting and destroying

My Darling
Is my pain not palpable darling?
Is my pain not real enough?
Do my pipes leak lies?
How long has it been darling?
Since you left?
Do I cross your mind darling?
When you stop to catch your breath
You were my everything darling
The sun that gave me life
How can I forget you darling?
When your memory tears through me like a knife
Will I die alone darling?
You promised you’d be by my side
I was your shadow darling
I stuck along for your ride
But you left me darling
With only the tender...
Is my pain not real enough?

When you stop to catch your breath

How can I forget you darling?
When your memory tears through me like a knife
Will I die alone darling?
You promised you’d be by my side

I stuck along for your ride

Bed of depression
I lay down on a mattress
A blanket of depression draping over me
My head resting on a pillow of cement
My eyes leak
As I draw the blanket around me
I shut my eyes
And forget the world
I hold myself in that moment
Allowing myself to be vulnerable
I can think in the silence
The flood gates open
The thoughts rush in
Drowning me
A blanket of depression draping over me
My head resting on a pillow of cement
My eyes leak
As I draw the blanket around me
I shut my eyes
And forget the world
I hold myself in that moment
Allowing myself to be vulnerable
I can think in the silence
The flood gates open
The thoughts rush in
Drowning me

Endless stream of words
I could have written you an endless stream
of words,
Pages bursting with letters,
But none of them would have been enough
To make you stay
of words,
Pages bursting with letters,
But none of them would have been enough
To make you stay

Wrap my heart in bubble wrap
Every little bump sends me trembling
Wrap my heart in bubble wrap
To insulate it from the harsh reality
Stuff my ears with cotton
To protect me from lies
Cover my eyes
To shield me from the worlds horrors
Bind my hands
To prevent me from making a mistake
Pinch my nose
To stop me feeling sick
Glue my lips together
To stop me from complaining
Protect my senses
So I don’t feel overwhelmed
Put me in a plastic ball
To maintain my naivety
and keep my childlike hope alive
...

Crumble for you
Devastate me baby
Roll in and tear me apart
Like you alway do
Leave me trembling
Picking up the pieces
Trying to make my heart anew
Then roll back around baby
And tap my shoulder
Then watch how I crumble
Perfectly for you
Roll in and tear me apart
Like you alway do
Leave me trembling
Picking up the pieces
Trying to make my heart anew
Then roll back around baby
And tap my shoulder
Then watch how I crumble
Perfectly for you
