Tug of War
My heart feels like it’s in the middle of a tug of war
It’s being pulled in opposite directions
Until finally my heart feels like it’s been through a blender
And all that’s left
Is sludge
Which oozes out
And burns everyone
Like acid
It’s being pulled in opposite directions
Until finally my heart feels like it’s been through a blender
And all that’s left
Is sludge
Which oozes out
And burns everyone
Like acid

Holiday Pain
When everyone gets together with their families
I’m forced to think about why I don’t have one
The tragedies of the past
That I smother everyday
Are all wrapped up with a bow
Waiting for me on Christmas Day
So I’ll fake a smile
It’s all a show
Like I’m an Angel
In the winter play
Blowing snowflake kisses
To the audience
But my lips are forest bitten
So I hide under my covers
Trying to find warmth
The images of all the happy families
Blend, mash and flash
With the ugly images...
I’m forced to think about why I don’t have one
The tragedies of the past
That I smother everyday
Are all wrapped up with a bow
Waiting for me on Christmas Day
So I’ll fake a smile
It’s all a show
Like I’m an Angel
In the winter play
Blowing snowflake kisses
To the audience
But my lips are forest bitten
So I hide under my covers
Trying to find warmth
The images of all the happy families
Blend, mash and flash
With the ugly images...

Please don’t hurt me, it’s my birthday
Please don’t hurt me
It’s my birthday
Another year
Time’s hourglass
Reflects my withered complexion
The sand is falling
Through the cracks
Inbetween my fingers
Countless hours I’ve wasted
Meaningless endeavours I’ve pursued
It’s a tragic existence
When all I wish
For my birthday
It to not be hurt
By you
It’s my birthday
Another year
Time’s hourglass
Reflects my withered complexion
The sand is falling
Through the cracks
Inbetween my fingers
Countless hours I’ve wasted
Meaningless endeavours I’ve pursued
It’s a tragic existence
When all I wish
For my birthday
It to not be hurt
By you

Calloused Heart
You’ve hurt me so much
My heart has grown callous
My mind has been scarred
Countless tears I’ve shed
I refuse to show my feelings again
To someone who would man handles my heart
My heart has grown callous
My mind has been scarred
Countless tears I’ve shed
I refuse to show my feelings again
To someone who would man handles my heart

Pieces of my mind
Your words whipped my heart
And left a bleeding slash
Those words made my mind
Feel like a jumbled puzzle
I tried to push the pieces together
But my pieces kept falling
The pieces of my mind
Floating in a stream of my blood
A stream that formed
From my bleeding heart
My fingers try to grasp the pieces
But they float away
My tears rolled down
And mix into the stream
My thoughts are so
mUdDleD
How do I know...
And left a bleeding slash
Those words made my mind
Feel like a jumbled puzzle
I tried to push the pieces together
But my pieces kept falling
The pieces of my mind
Floating in a stream of my blood
A stream that formed
From my bleeding heart
My fingers try to grasp the pieces
But they float away
My tears rolled down
And mix into the stream
My thoughts are so
mUdDleD
How do I know...

A Delusional Mind
If I’m delusional
Is this an illusion
Is this a dream
Are things as they seem?
Is my mind down a rabbit hole?
The lights are one but nobody’s home
Is this a euphoric fantasy
A mirage of colours
A hallucination of love
A trip into the clouds
A twisted delirium
A midnight trance
A daze
A haze
If I’m delusional
And that’s all I’ll ever be?
Why bind me to reality
With the bondages of materiality
When my head aches to be free
The tethers of reality
Will...

Decaying Inside
There’s an emptiness inside me
It’s echoing around
I dig, I pry
Trying to find something inside
My insides are like a desolate house
Empty and abandon
All life left years ago
The old lock on the door is broken
So anyone can walk in
People tread all over the floorboards of my heart
Leaving a trail of footsteps
They look at all the empty rooms
Examine the empty walls
Then leave the house and never return
My insides have become foot trodden
The floor boards are creaking ...
It’s echoing around

Leaving a trail of footsteps
They look at all the empty rooms
Examine the empty walls
Then leave the house and never return
My insides have become foot trodden
The floor boards are creaking ...

Ocean
You took from me
Then left me heart broken
Now in an ocean
Of self loathing
I find myself drowning
I slip under the waves
I stare up
I see your face
I choke on water
As I try to breathe
Suffocating
I sink deeper and deeper
I feel more and more
The crushing weight
In my ocean
Of self hate
Then left me heart broken
Now in an ocean
Of self loathing
I find myself drowning
I slip under the waves
I stare up
I see your face
I choke on water
As I try to breathe
Suffocating
I sink deeper and deeper
I feel more and more
The crushing weight
In my ocean
Of self hate

Tragic Occurrence
It’s a truly tragic occurrence
When you know
You don’t cross the mind
If the person
Who you think of
All the time
When you know
You don’t cross the mind
If the person
Who you think of
All the time

Lock Picker
My hearts been caged again and again
Trapped behind thick iron bars
And left to rot in a cold cell
But I have honed a skill
To set me free
From this cage
I take out my tools
And make light work of the lock
Just a little to the left
A little to the right
And pop opens the bars
When someone captures my heart
They try to cage it
To trap it for later
But they don’t know
That under my clothes
I keep a sharp edged lock pick
They’re fools to think ...

Ghosts
He doesn’t care if your heart is broken
He doesn’t care if it feels like every bone in your body breaks
With every move you make
He doesn’t notice you’re gone
While all you do is notice
He doesn’t cry about you being gone
But all you can do is choke back the tears
Hugging yourself tight
In hopes you won’t you won’t fall apart in the night
Why do you always make the same mistakes?
Trusting the same people who hurt you in the...

The worst thing someone’s ever said
The worst thing someone’s ever said
The first person I told I loved
Told me “you are incapable of love”
I remember the moment
Reading the words
From my phone screen
Those words pierced my retinas
Tunnelled deep into my skin
Made my heart crunch
Breathless and weak
I could barely raise my arms
My eyes flooded with tears
After all these years
I asked if they remembered
The words they said
Their answer was no
That’s what people do
They break you down with a sentence ...
