Nemesis
This is what you see
The dog
The lying scumbag
The person who can never speak
Unless she speaks in riddles
You see the flirt
The whore
The girl who always
Has a guy to score
What fucking bullshit
That is not who I was
Never was
Never will be
You just don’t see
I’m taking this hit
Because that’s what you need
You need peace and love
And you need safety
You think I am lying
You think I am conniving
So that is cool
Think as you will
But honey
I am not the villain here
But if it makes you stop being...

Pretty Charlie
We never got around to comparing our scars
For the first time ever I think someone else would win
Good old Charlie
Pretty boy Charlie
Pretty and broken
Just like me
You haunt my dreams
As I do yours
You swim in my vision
As I do yours
But never more than
Ships in the night
Passing by
The beauty of us was
That there never would be
And we both knew it
You own a piece of me Charlie
Thanks for healing my heart
Go be that Tiger now
xoxox

Demon
Hello Demon
I see you there
Creating a cycle of
Repetitive despair
In which you lead me
And lull me
Gently drawing me in
Your attacks are the same
Your hatred apparent
My sorrow your sustenance
Hey Demon I see you there
I see you there
Creating a cycle of
Repetitive despair
In which you lead me
And lull me
Gently drawing me in
Your attacks are the same
Your hatred apparent
My sorrow your sustenance
Hey Demon I see you there

Goodbye friend
Goodbye friend
Unexpectedly you rose...
Like fire from ashes
Blazing across my heart and mind
You burned yourself inside me
Goodbye friend
Beauty and grace and joy and laughs
A blessing you were to us all
You made us a family
You did this
You and no one else
But goodbye friend
I had you
For a little while
I remember now...
Not meant to keep anything
But I had you for a while
So goodbye friend
And thank you
Unexpectedly you rose...
Like fire from ashes
Blazing across my heart and mind
You burned yourself inside me
Goodbye friend
Beauty and grace and joy and laughs
A blessing you were to us all
You made us a family
You did this
You and no one else
But goodbye friend
I had you
For a little while
I remember now...
Not meant to keep anything
But I had you for a while
So goodbye friend
And thank you

Perceptions
The thing is, you think you have time
So you watch it slip away
like water into sand
You think by speaking the truth
You can save a world
A love
So you speak with thunder
And then watch everything crash
You think there is hope
So you preach it
Vouch for it
Declare it to the world
All the while despair is eating it away
And we don’t know, because we don’t see
So you watch it slip away
like water into sand
You think by speaking the truth
You can save a world
A love
So you speak with thunder
And then watch everything crash
You think there is hope
So you preach it
Vouch for it
Declare it to the world
All the while despair is eating it away
And we don’t know, because we don’t see

Goodbye for the last time
You said you loved me
And I believed it
But you lied
You had to leave because there was no future
Not for us
Not back then
Now everything has changed
And I can promise you a future
I can promise you a future and that
Is a promise that I can keep
I will not promise this
I said I loved you
And I still do
But a future for us
I will not allow
I refuse to be back up
My life starts now
You need to go
Because I will not believe the lie
And I will not save you
Not this time
And I believed it
But you lied
You had to leave because there was no future
Not for us
Not back then
Now everything has changed
And I can promise you a future
I can promise you a future and that
Is a promise that I can keep
I will not promise this
I said I loved you
And I still do
But a future for us
I will not allow
I refuse to be back up
My life starts now
You need to go
Because I will not believe the lie
And I will not save you
Not this time

Darkness becomes me
Empty and hollow
I call for help but it echoes inside me
My voice now silent
Worn
Tired
I can’t be helped
Not by them
Not by me
I want to cut again
Just to feel something
Anything again
But darkness beckons
Darkness becomes me
Hollow and empty and dark inside
This nothingness is where I will reside
I call for help but it echoes inside me
My voice now silent
Worn
Tired
I can’t be helped
Not by them
Not by me
I want to cut again
Just to feel something
Anything again
But darkness beckons
Darkness becomes me
Hollow and empty and dark inside
This nothingness is where I will reside

Nothing at all
This was the last
There’s nothing left of me
What I was or could be
Died with the last of my hope
At least some people can be happy
At least it is destined for some
Even if I can’t have it
I have purpose and meaning
I can help others achieve everything
But I cant
There is nothing left for me
Nothing left of me
Nothing at all is what I am
There’s nothing left of me
What I was or could be
Died with the last of my hope
At least some people can be happy
At least it is destined for some
Even if I can’t have it
I have purpose and meaning
I can help others achieve everything
But I cant
There is nothing left for me
Nothing left of me
Nothing at all is what I am

Whenever I receive anything, it promptly gets ripped away
I distrust it always
I know it is coming
I will not get to keep this
But I live in hope, always hope
That things will work this once
But inevitably as I relax
All gets reduced to ash
In a second I have it all
The next there’s nothing left
I learn you see, so slowly
Nothing is meant for me
Everything I touch must be ripped away
Everything I love is never mine anyway
If I find it precious
It will crash and burn
If I find joy in it
It will be ash before you know it...
I distrust it always
I know it is coming
I will not get to keep this
But I live in hope, always hope
That things will work this once
But inevitably as I relax
All gets reduced to ash
In a second I have it all
The next there’s nothing left
I learn you see, so slowly
Nothing is meant for me
Everything I touch must be ripped away
Everything I love is never mine anyway
If I find it precious
It will crash and burn
If I find joy in it
It will be ash before you know it...

Unexpected
I have become cold
Precious few who reach me
And of those who do...
None are you.
I wish, in part, for another chance
Whilst knowing I won't accept it.
A lesson learnt and all too well
Trust that's broken is unforgivable
And impossible to regain
So my heart grew cold
To keep me safe
I locked the door with you outside
But even now, an unexpected glimpse of us...
Can cut me open to remind me...
I am partially alive
Precious few who reach me
And of those who do...
None are you.
I wish, in part, for another chance
Whilst knowing I won't accept it.
A lesson learnt and all too well
Trust that's broken is unforgivable
And impossible to regain
So my heart grew cold
To keep me safe
I locked the door with you outside
But even now, an unexpected glimpse of us...
Can cut me open to remind me...
I am partially alive

Voices
"The concept of heaven is based on what I feel when I'm inside you"
These old familiar walls
These passages and rooms
I walk and pace them
But you're not there
"Your skin is like silken magnets, I'm so drawn to it"
Running in the forest, soft footfalls
No sound beside me
Not anymore
Emptier and more silent than ever before
"Your softness soothes me, your wetness tells me I'm home"
Water running across my skin
No hands to trail the flow
Nothing to hold on to
No scent to breathe in...
These old familiar walls
These passages and rooms
I walk and pace them
But you're not there
"Your skin is like silken magnets, I'm so drawn to it"
Running in the forest, soft footfalls
No sound beside me
Not anymore
Emptier and more silent than ever before
"Your softness soothes me, your wetness tells me I'm home"
Water running across my skin
No hands to trail the flow
Nothing to hold on to
No scent to breathe in...
