POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
VIOLET'S TALE
A lady down in Toronto
Is fighting just to stay alive
Rhythmic beeps and blood-stained sheets
Our lady weeps, she's tired and frail
To set the scene we must rewind
The hands of time for Violet's tale
Violet was a silent girl
Grew up with violent starts
Her mother was a drinker
And her father was a bastard
Every night he'd tuck her tight
But never left the room
I'll spare you of the things he did
I'm sure her mother knew
Violet was a silent girl
She moved out at sixteen
A semi-detached council...

DIRTY THOUGHTS
When I'm lonely
All the corners of my mind start racing
Things that should be kept in the basement
Spend my time trying to erase them
But when you hold me
In the fantasy it's so convincing
I shouldn't think the things I'm thinking
But now I've gone and let them sink in
The more that I push 'em away
The more that you're stuck in my brain
The more I mentally undress
Oh, I'm getting frustrated
Do you really look good naked
And I know that it ain't that holy
But Lord I need this one night only
The more that...

DANCING ON YOUR GRAVE
Oh no I’ve been so bad
thought things I can’t take back
But I want what I can’t have
cos I can’t have it
Now I’m drowning in the sea
of my secret jealousy
this never used to be me
but its a habit
Oh it seems you live my dreams
The whole crowd screams tonight
But I’m in town to steal your crown
I see my name in lights
Everything has a price
even in paradise
I see you with my own eyes
abusing power
Oh I know you thought this show
would last another night
but I’m in town to steal your crown
I see...

The whole crowd screams tonight
But I’m in town to steal your crown

THE RIGHT DOSE
The difference between being their medicine
And being the poison that fills their veins
Is the dose you're willing to give them
It's knowing when they need a shoulder to cry on
But also when they need a kick up the arse
~
It's knowing everyone will fall at some point
But a helping hand isn't always the answer
Sometimes they need to rise on their own
To truly understand how strong they really are
A warrior sometimes has to fight without a shield
~
It's about still being there in the crowd

IT'S SO MUCH LOUDER HERE INSIDE
It so much louder here inside
That voice you can not hear
It's burried deep within
Where my tears do disappear
~
It's so much louder here inside
That strength that keeps me strong
When I've vacated this world around us
That's the place where i have gone

It's so much louder here inside
That will i have to fight
When the days have reached an end
I still battle through the night

In the middle of this war
When the walls come caving in
You'll hear me knocking...

DO MY PICTURES LIE
What if i told you my pictures lie
That what you see on the outside is an illusion
That if the camera could capture the truth
You'd see many tears falling down my cheeks
~
If only the flash brought you within this mind
Then you'd witness the darkness here inside
How the shadows are my only sanctuary
That the light has not been able to build a home
~
You'd see the walls of my own design
The ones i originally built to keep the darkness in
Blissfully unaware that i would get trapped too
I guess that's the price i paid for...

Bound by Love
Look how far you both came,
destined to be together.
They doubted your strength,
tried to tear you apart.
But you remained steadfast,
standing your ground.
Through trials and tribulations,
you fought and conquered.
No longer separated by distance,
bound by the power of your love.
And it will only grow stronger,
as you journey through life.
Embarking on a new chapter,
remember to stay resilient.
I have faith in both of you,
don't let anyone obstruct your love.
This is your story to...
destined to be together.

Ma & Papa Bears Embrace
In a world of love's embrace,
you stand,
Bound by hearts, hand in hand.
Mama bear, papa bear,
Your roles defined,
A union forged,
forever entwined.
From this moment,
you're journey takes flight,
A sacred vow,
bathed in pure delight.

you'll face them together,
Side by side,
in fair or stormy weather.
Now and forever,
your love will bloom,
Nurturing your souls,
dispelling all gloom.

THE SANDS OF TIME
Do you ever wish you could start again
Refill the sands of time that's slowly fading away
Be able to fix all the mistakes you've made
Rewrite the story that's already been written
~
Because sometimes i wonder what would change
Would life take me in a different direction
What if i didn't walk that same road again
Would i be sitting in a totally different place
~
I realise that this is obviously impossible
But what if life gave you a second chance
Would you turn back the hands of time
If it meant you could roll the dice...

Til Death Do Us Part
ME
You gon' love me or it's lights out, forever
Got you by the balls or they're severed
Either it's you and me, together
Or I'ma eat your heart out, already peppered
Fuck with my heart, get (Say what?)
Wrapped up in a carpet (Say what?)
Go pop the trunk, you hit with a thump
I'ma leave you in the dumpster at Target
HIM
Hey, bitch, don't leave without this *gunshot*
Bullet hole in between your tits
This scrub thought love meant 'til our grave dug
With a tombstone stuck in the mud right above
Whеther dancin',...

Angel Of Death
Ive been feeling kind of disconnected
from my mind a lot these days
Its like I cant seem to shut the voices off
I cant get them to behave
I'm not really sure how much more
of this shit I can even take
Before this mask that I am forced
to wear just disintegrates
And losing family doesn't help
So now Im scaling the edge of a skyscraper
And no ones screaming save her
So Im wavering back and forth
between this life or something greater
Taking steps to reach the top
And Ill slip and fall if I ever...

Angel of My Tears
How do you love a person
who never got to be,
or try to envision a face
you never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
who never got to live.
When there’s nothing to feel good about
and nothing to forgive?
I love you, my little baby,
my companion of the night.
Wandering through my lonely hours,
beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
you ever were born,
to live the lovely night of life
and never see the dawn?
Ah! My little baby,
you lived like anyone!
Life’s...
