Black Butterfly
The heart locket I have opened
Looks like a butterfly
But it’s so dark, with no picture
And it tells me lies
I saw it start to fly out of my hand
I realize I don’t have a net
I would like to capture it back
I wouldn’t mind it as a pet
The color of it is black
I sit in a meadow, wondering why?
It tries to lift me up to join
But I couldn’t reach the sky
I remember when I was that free
Before I was put behind glass
Maybe my wings were getting weak
How is this butterfly able to last?
The beauty of...

Little White House
Little White House...
Why do you have a red door?
Why do you have black shutters?
And vultures that fly a soar?
Little White House...
Why do I hear screaming at night?
And glasses breaking?
As children are crying in fright.
Little White House...
Why am I the only one not afraid of you?
Even I could be tortured if I enter.
I know you could make me black and blue.
Little White House...
Who do you have hiding inside?
Why won't you let me see?
And have your curtains opened wide?
Little White House...
What is that...
Why do you have a red door?
Why do you have black shutters?
And vultures that fly a soar?
Little White House...
Why do I hear screaming at night?
And glasses breaking?
As children are crying in fright.
Little White House...
Why am I the only one not afraid of you?
Even I could be tortured if I enter.
I know you could make me black and blue.
Little White House...
Who do you have hiding inside?
Why won't you let me see?
And have your curtains opened wide?
Little White House...
What is that...

ENGRAVED
You start thinking of the negative
It can't escape you
Just think of that hug from your dad
You had nothing to lose
The way your mother tucked you in
Every single night
Don't think of those mean kids
Being too young to put up a fight
Remember that best friend?
The one that listened
Not about having to stay quiet
While feeling so disciplined
Give yourself a vacation
Right inside your mind
I know the gates are up
You must unlock forward, not rewind
Those low thoughts bring you down
But you forgot about...
It can't escape you
Just think of that hug from your dad
You had nothing to lose
The way your mother tucked you in
Every single night
Don't think of those mean kids
Being too young to put up a fight
Remember that best friend?
The one that listened
Not about having to stay quiet
While feeling so disciplined
Give yourself a vacation
Right inside your mind
I know the gates are up
You must unlock forward, not rewind
Those low thoughts bring you down
But you forgot about...

The Unknown Hope
She takes his hand
To tell the secrets of the past
He smiled knowing she was wishing
That they could last
The silence takes her away
To a place she sought coming
The song of his arms
Wrapped around her, she started humming
The beauty of the fields
He related it to her
She thought she saw the future
But she wasn't too sure
The smoke of the fire
That burns within the discarded
The spark of confusion
Not knowing where it started
To tell the secrets of the past
He smiled knowing she was wishing
That they could last
The silence takes her away
To a place she sought coming
The song of his arms
Wrapped around her, she started humming
The beauty of the fields
He related it to her
She thought she saw the future
But she wasn't too sure
The smoke of the fire
That burns within the discarded
The spark of confusion
Not knowing where it started

Chairs
I see five chairs in front of me
Not including mine
They all represent me
However, different sides
They talk non-stop
It just never ends
I guess they have trouble holding it in
So, they have to pretend
First, is Anxiety
It comes with the shakes
An emotion like leaves falling
Trying to keep up without a rake
Second, is Anger
It's only holding a fist
Just wanting to rage out
But has no clue what to do with it
Third, is Happiness
It tries to show constantly
Adrenalizing what's wanted most ...

Petals On The Ground
The thorns pricked my hand
But somehow, I didn't mind
I knew they were roses
But I didn't know what kind
He brushed his fingertips
Right across my lips
I'm not one for intoxication
But he was the perfect fix
He said he had to go
It strangely made a petal fall
So, I picked it up trying to keep it soft
Hoping he would call...
He did call
That night I looked up at the moon
With the roses rising up in the glass
Knowing I'd see him soon
He told me to meet him at the park

Trainwreck
He showed up on the train
Totally unexpected
I knew in that moment
I was far from protected
I started tugging at my sleeves
Hoping he couldn't see me
I knew if he showed kindness
It would be deceiving
I tried to stare out the window
Forcing all my focus on the bridge
The stalking memories of an open bottle
And I'm trying to find the lid
To close up the unnecessary
What is known as fear
But I'm spilling the truth
Of how he was never sincere...
He spotted me
I started to sweat
He started to walk...

The Keeper
So tell me...
Would you have made the call
Even if I didn't try?
If I didn't stop, you from walking
And you didn't see me cry?
Would you catch me
Or jump off the edge with me?
Would you try to keep me afloat
As I drown in your sea?
I'm depressed,
You already know
Anything besides holding you
Could make me tie the rope and go.
You are absolutely broken
Your mind and heart have been raped
I will watch you like a camera
And forever hold the tapes.
Would you have made the call
Even if I didn't try?
If I didn't stop, you from walking
And you didn't see me cry?

Your mind and heart have been raped
I will watch you like a camera
And forever hold the tapes.

Grieving The Unforgettable
The character he was...
She thought she'd never find
They spent decades together
But it was never enough time
They were young when they met
Even now, she sees that day
And when they got older
She wouldn't let his intrusive thoughts
Get in the way
It's like that saying
She could relate to when his mind was starting to shatter
And even when she couldn't help but mind
Her love for him was all that mattered
In her head replacing the "H" with a "T"
When aloud she'd say "I miss him" ...

Waking Up
She said,
"I used to be just like you
Feeling depressed
Trying to pull myself through
I used to smoke
I used to drink
Now I have an air tank rolling around
Throwing up blood in the sink
I was young once too
Now, I'm in my 50s
My liver is totaled from the bottles
I don't think I'll make it to my 60s
I was a crazy bitch
Did whatever I pleased
Now I'm looking back
Take it back! Begging on my knees
If I could change one thing
I would change it all
Like having sex out of anger ...

Vicious
Cigarette ashes all over me
Tequila awakening your memory
Stolen thoughts that come from my heart
Making sure this love, you won't tear apart
Parking lots empty because your car is not here
I never thought your eyes would become my fear
Tossing, turning, and shaking...
Knowing you're mine without mistaking
I dare you to hold my arms back from going off
Remember it was your Everclear that made me cough?
You're hanging lower than appearance
Trying to jump to you without having a clearance
They say kindness kills, but not...

Lost Answers
Glass houses aren't smart
Especially if you're between a rock and a hard place
But the light of wonder looks pretty
And helps brighten up my face
Giving away my skin
Drowning out my sorrows
Don't have a heart left
Think I need one to borrow
Give me time
I'm damaging myself
I might be laughing
But I'm feeling the hell
I woke up in my bikini this morning
Not knowing what I did the night before
I ask myself the same thing every time
What am I here for?
The scent of memory loss corrupts my mind ...
