May as Well be Dead
I can't remember how to smile
So many years of sadness
Piled upon loneliness
I think, a long time ago, some held me in warm arms
But I think it might just have been a fantasy
I hurt inside so hard I can't tell what is in pain
I think it might be my heart but I don't know
I don't remember what my heart felt like
Some distant echoes, a noise like a drum
But it has faded away beneath a sheet of white noise
The pain only goes away when I fall asleep
When i dream of shadows that surround me in screams
Life is only a gift when it feels...

CONFESSION
I've heard confession is good for the soul
Though I wonder when it's a stairwell to a bottomless hole
Spiraling downward in rings of loneliness
Where no one will listen to a depressing endless tale
Without a witness to absolve the spirit of a body full of sin
Or anyone to care about your honesty at the fatal end
You may as well keep it to yourself
Bottled up with a cork to seal in secret stealth
How no one cared enough to share
The love you nutured within there
A lifetime of emotion filled with hope
Forever dangling at the end of a...

Songs / Poems
Are my songs showing up in anybodies UPDATES list? I am wondering because I don't see any activity. Or do the song versions of my poems just suck?

Finding Out About You
Peering through the Lens
I spotted the real you
The lie you portrayed
Displayed your disguise
Just one more dark curse
Placed on my already fading eyes
behind exhaled strings of vapor rings
A beautiful Siren of the sea (blink)
The ancient sea hag now Gazing up at me
Just another witch spelling the death of me
As your mysterious dark fog clouds my lonely path
Always hiding behind your nicotine stained glass
Where only shades of Gray Hyde Dorian's true face
Time to make this apparition vanish without a trace
I spotted the real you
The lie you portrayed
Displayed your disguise
Just one more dark curse
Placed on my already fading eyes
behind exhaled strings of vapor rings
A beautiful Siren of the sea (blink)
The ancient sea hag now Gazing up at me
Just another witch spelling the death of me
As your mysterious dark fog clouds my lonely path
Always hiding behind your nicotine stained glass
Where only shades of Gray Hyde Dorian's true face
Time to make this apparition vanish without a trace

What's Living Inside Me
It isn't fair to expect you to fill my empty life
It is t fair to want you to love me as my wife
It isn't fair to pretend you're not with another man
It isn't fair to keep hoping he won't be the one
I'd rather end these reached nights
I want to pull out the plug and shut off the lights
I want to die, to end this misery
I can't take anymore of what's living inside me
It is t fair to want you to love me as my wife
It isn't fair to pretend you're not with another man
It isn't fair to keep hoping he won't be the one
I'd rather end these reached nights
I want to pull out the plug and shut off the lights
I want to die, to end this misery
I can't take anymore of what's living inside me

Sapiosexuality
Tingling moist skin
Quivering in well-versed rivers
The dance is set to begin
As warm lips kiss in bliss with icy shivers
Hidden within, behind eyes
Orgasmic waves begin as fiction
Intercourse to intellectualize
Births sapiorotic stimulation
Minds electrified in ecstasy
within intertwined intelligency
As bolts of volts reach their potential
Each other's thoughts are bare essentials
My current flows towards you alone
To be alone gliding across your slopes
Sensing the motion as your...
