Frostbite
She's bitingly cold,
Her story's age-old,
She's got my heart,
In a vice-like hold.
She's icy and true,
Enticing too,
But she won't have me,
She'd rather have you.
She's like a blanket,
Of soft white snow,
Endlessly chilling
Me to the bone.
She's like the wind on
A harsh winter's day,
Leaving me breathless,
With nothing to say.
Her thoughts, like snowflakes,
Each so unique,
Like they were sent from
Olympus's peak.
She is the reason
That I still shiver, ...
Her story's age-old,
She's got my heart,
In a vice-like hold.
She's icy and true,
Enticing too,
But she won't have me,
She'd rather have you.
She's like a blanket,
Of soft white snow,
Endlessly chilling
Me to the bone.
She's like the wind on
A harsh winter's day,
Leaving me breathless,
With nothing to say.
Her thoughts, like snowflakes,
Each so unique,
Like they were sent from
Olympus's peak.
She is the reason
That I still shiver, ...

Entitled
It's cool that you've got money,
Stacking up in piles;
But man, I find it funny
That you can't ever smile.
You think you have the answers,
And you think this is a joke;
I may stretch my mind a lot,
But you're the one that's broke.
I know you got opinions;
And yelling is your habit,
But dammit, when I ask it,
have right at it, start your yappin'.
Til then I ask a favor,
It's really gotta happen,
Shut the fuck up, fix yourself,
In every form and fashion.
Before you point your fingers,
Remember where...
Stacking up in piles;
But man, I find it funny
That you can't ever smile.
You think you have the answers,
And you think this is a joke;
I may stretch my mind a lot,
But you're the one that's broke.
I know you got opinions;
And yelling is your habit,
But dammit, when I ask it,
have right at it, start your yappin'.
Til then I ask a favor,
It's really gotta happen,
Shut the fuck up, fix yourself,
In every form and fashion.
Before you point your fingers,
Remember where...

Lesson Love
I'm not cut out for lesson love,
I fear I never learn enough;
And as far as my mind can see,
Without your love, I'm obsessing.
I care for you, that much is true,
I've just been waiting for a cue.
I never blinked, you never winked,
How we unsynced was so succinct..
I fall apart at the day's start,
Knowing I never touched your heart;
But as the day starts growing dark,
I see you as my series-arc.
I fear that you're my cornerstone,
And without you, I'll be alone-
But even when we were together,
Perhaps...
I fear I never learn enough;
And as far as my mind can see,
Without your love, I'm obsessing.
I care for you, that much is true,
I've just been waiting for a cue.
I never blinked, you never winked,
How we unsynced was so succinct..
I fall apart at the day's start,
Knowing I never touched your heart;
But as the day starts growing dark,
I see you as my series-arc.
I fear that you're my cornerstone,
And without you, I'll be alone-
But even when we were together,
Perhaps...

This Mask of You
This fashion cue,
This mask of you,
It haunts my very being.
I'm obsolete,
I'm on my knees,
I feel I'm stuck in greiving.
You built me up,
You called my bluffs,
You helped me be myself;
So how could I
Conjure the lie,
That I love someone else;
Or find the time
To even try
To give someone that chance;
When I still find
That your face lies
In every stolen glance?
This fashion cue,
This mask of you,
A trace of who you could be,
It haunts my dreams, ...
This mask of you,
It haunts my very being.
I'm obsolete,
I'm on my knees,
I feel I'm stuck in greiving.
You built me up,
You called my bluffs,
You helped me be myself;
So how could I
Conjure the lie,
That I love someone else;
Or find the time
To even try
To give someone that chance;
When I still find
That your face lies
In every stolen glance?

This mask of you,
A trace of who you could be,
It haunts my dreams, ...

A Muse Me
You've always been there,
Now you're not;
Somehow gone,
But all I've got.
I'm always so scared,
I fear lots,
Solitude,
And my own thoughts.
When you said you cared,
Was it true?
Or was it just
the lust in you?
Why, after eight years,
Grow silent;
Leave with all your vibrant
guidance?
I'd never resort to violence,
But you know the way my mind gets..
I had the sense to buy your love,
But I didn't know the cost.
I used to believe I was...
Now you're not;
Somehow gone,
But all I've got.
I'm always so scared,
I fear lots,
Solitude,
And my own thoughts.

Or was it just

Grow silent;

Hermit
There's someone out there-
With a face like yours
And a brain like yours,
Living without care,
And they don't complain
And they don't get bored.
They're someone who cares
About their face
And about their chores.
Somehow life feels fair,
But only theirs,
Yeah never yours.
Can you feel the haste
As you waste away?
Getting smaller with
Every action you don't take.
There's someone out there
With a name like yours
And a game like yours,
But they don't fight fair, ...
With a face like yours
And a brain like yours,
Living without care,
And they don't complain
And they don't get bored.
They're someone who cares
About their face
And about their chores.
Somehow life feels fair,
But only theirs,
Yeah never yours.
Can you feel the haste
As you waste away?
Getting smaller with
Every action you don't take.
There's someone out there
With a name like yours
And a game like yours,
But they don't fight fair, ...

Adrenaline Junky
Take a risk, take a chance,
but be smart, do it clean,
You've gotta be alive,
to live dangerously.
Make a bet, make your bed,
Just don't forget the sheets,
You've gotta be alive
To live dangerously.
Kill routines, fill your needs,
Let life throw a surprise,
Then watch everything you hate
Change right before your eyes.
Pay your debts, hang your head
When you know you've done wrong,
Settle dues, and get used
To being this headstrong,
Then when life takes a bite,
Crunching into your...

Worth Your Weight
You walk upon all the bridges you've burned,
You never settled for lessons well
learned,
And soon the time will chime in with what it's heard,
And then you'll find, guilt's a feeling that's earned.
Fingers linger cuts after each page turned,
Eyes wrestle pages over lessons yearned,
But still your joy can never be returned,
What emotions has this commotion stirred?
You walk upon all the bridges you've burned,
You never settled for lessons well
learned,
And soon the time will chime in with what it's heard,
And then...
You never settled for lessons well
learned,
And soon the time will chime in with what it's heard,
And then you'll find, guilt's a feeling that's earned.
Fingers linger cuts after each page turned,
Eyes wrestle pages over lessons yearned,
But still your joy can never be returned,
What emotions has this commotion stirred?
You walk upon all the bridges you've burned,
You never settled for lessons well
learned,
And soon the time will chime in with what it's heard,
And then...

We Are The World
Whenever we feel we need change,
Even if it feels too strange,
All we have to do is try,
Regardless of slow-passing time.
Endless days will come and go,
Tens of thousands will unfold.
Hearts will grow, suns will explode,
Every piece, falling like snow.
We cannot pretend they won't,
Or sanity will be let go.
Really think about your life,
Learn how to take pain in stride,
Dream of ways to improve minds.
Even if it feels too strange,
All we have to do is try,
Regardless of slow-passing time.
Endless days will come and go,
Tens of thousands will unfold.
Hearts will grow, suns will explode,
Every piece, falling like snow.
We cannot pretend they won't,
Or sanity will be let go.
Really think about your life,
Learn how to take pain in stride,
Dream of ways to improve minds.

Horde
Advice is mindless,
Lies are timeless,
Open eyes are
Never driest.
Heart's a bank heist,
Mind's blank shrine,
Mouth a horn,
And T.V.'s for eyes.
Masked with plastic,
Rules: elastic,
Isn't it all so
Fantastic?
Shadows foreign,
Mirrors chosen,
Soul, a bleeding book-
Ink pouring.
Feelings first,
Fear for dessert.
Fight the thirst
For things that hurt.
Actions small
Can happen tall,
One can make them
Fear them all.
Lies are timeless,
Open eyes are
Never driest.
Heart's a bank heist,
Mind's blank shrine,
Mouth a horn,
And T.V.'s for eyes.
Masked with plastic,
Rules: elastic,
Isn't it all so
Fantastic?
Shadows foreign,
Mirrors chosen,
Soul, a bleeding book-
Ink pouring.
Feelings first,
Fear for dessert.
Fight the thirst
For things that hurt.
Actions small
Can happen tall,
One can make them
Fear them all.

Break It
You can kill this hate,
Or just create it.
Don't you know that life
Is what you make it?
This mindset will let
The beast awaken,
But It'll leave you dead
unless you break it.
So break it.
Just break the will to die,
Snap it's fucking spine.
If it feels so divine,
Then fucking kill it.
Kill that part deep inside,
The one you hate to hide,
Just end it's sorry life.
You can't turn back time,
it's time to face it,
You live inside a...
Or just create it.
