I am home
I could never leave what makes me whole,
and tell me please where would I go ?
I've searched far and wide for kinder hearts,
but been denied and torn apart.
You've healed my heart and heard my soul,
lit up the dark, filled in the hole.
I kiss your lips, I feel a flame.
i grab your hips and hear my name.
Your touch is grand, your love is pure.
I hold your hand and I am sure.
We'll meet our end only when we die,
and begin again up in the sky.
So sail with me into forever,
you set me free when we're together.
and tell me please where would I go ?
I've searched far and wide for kinder hearts,
but been denied and torn apart.
You've healed my heart and heard my soul,
lit up the dark, filled in the hole.
I kiss your lips, I feel a flame.

Your touch is grand, your love is pure.
I hold your hand and I am sure.
We'll meet our end only when we die,
and begin again up in the sky.
So sail with me into forever,
you set me free when we're together.

Last name
I see the sunrise in your eyes and taste forever on your lips. You've answered all my whys and now it all makes sense. You persuade my pen to write , giving birth to pretty poems. Please stay with me tonight, let me make you feel at home. You fill me with ecstacy that the devil would surely envy. Your mind is my destiny, preparing new beginnings. I'll help you fall asleep, even if I lose my own. My heart is yours to keep, girl you'll never feel alone. With you it's always fresh, like the ink on my skin. This fuzzy feeling in my chest consumes me once again. You quiet prior pain, and ease my...

The switch
Happily ever after starts write here, write now. In this room with this pen dressing up this paper, in my bed on the floor. Who says ink cant be a savior?
I'm pondering the distance between her and I, wondering how I can fill in the gaps of why. I've never felt more content when her head lay on my chest, unguarded and safe under my arm. Dreams dance in her head while mine is filled with her, and the promises I yearn to keep. My girls far from harm and I fall asleep. This life has been a downward spiral of challenges that almost broke me, but I cant be in denial, my baby awoke me. She...

washed away
I often feel weak, pinned down by the very darkness I helped create. In a place where illusion and reality fight toe to toe and I must take pills to keep a filter.
We are not born with fear, but it can have the biggest impact on our destiny. This learned emotion conaminuates my soul, hinders my movement, and blurrs my vision, yet I cling to it like the air I breathe. I cannot unlearn tradgety, but rather coexist with it's shambles and grow immune to like debris.
I dream of a day where good hearts hold no pain, only peaceful rhythmic beats. Where endings don't exist, and saddness...

Darker Alliance
Excuse the delay, I just dare not impose
For I can feel the decay from my mind to my bones..
Until this subsides, I'd rather keep to myself
For a stranger resides in this weakened hotel.
The decorations are plenty, sorrows hang on the walls.
But the lobby is empty, declining your calls.
The signs are apparent, but most cannot see.
So I might be transparent to nobody but me.
I'm good for vacations, because nobody stays.
I've provided temptation but they're not willing to pay.
So don't cry at my...

Relatable weaknes
Digest all my thoughts, let them soak in your skin,
absorb how I fought to feel normal again.
Hear the volume in my ink, my screams as I healed.
I'm not what you think, but what I've revealed.
Out of every emotion, what rose me above,
felt as deep as the ocean, Oh the power of love.
It may be as fleeting as the wind while it rains,
But a wonderful feeling, a break from the pain.
The tears are relief, be engulfed by their purpose.
They drown out the grief, and cradle the hopeless.
In each of our souls, there's a void for another, ...
absorb how I fought to feel normal again.
Hear the volume in my ink, my screams as I healed.
I'm not what you think, but what I've revealed.
Out of every emotion, what rose me above,
felt as deep as the ocean, Oh the power of love.
It may be as fleeting as the wind while it rains,
But a wonderful feeling, a break from the pain.
The tears are relief, be engulfed by their purpose.
They drown out the grief, and cradle the hopeless.
In each of our souls, there's a void for another, ...

simplicity vs toxicity
In a chamber of despair,
I yearn to be sane
where I'm painfully aware
is inside of my brain.
Holding stains from my past
that I'm forced to relive,
These walls are the last
I expect to forgive.
Inside them are demons
that feed on mistakes.
And they taunt me with reasons
my heart often breaks.
My facade has been strong,
blending in just enough.
One that always belongs
and is worthy of love.
But now it's flimsy and thin,
so the darkness escaped.
Now...

Dark but devine
Like a noose around my neck, it constricts every breath.
And I hang like a wreck in the black eyes of death.
I must have dropped my purpose, maybe it lingers where I fell.
Or is it just below the surface in my version of hell?
I'm frightened for the ending, so I would never close the book.
So till then I'm pending, as I sway from this hook.
I hate the truth in this ink, for it holds depth beyond belief.
And at times I even think it's my only real relief.
Why can't I be conent? Make the broken pieces fit?
There's nothing more that I resent,...

Only a test.
I'm buried alive, this dirt is my guilt.
How will I survive and protect what I've built?
Render me useless, judge me to sleep.
These feelings are ruthless, my promise to keep.
My eyes have been heavy, my body needs rest.
But I'll sleep when I'm ready, this is only a test.

scattered, phony demons.
I'm right on the edge, above a bottomless pit.
Compelled to confess that I'm far from content.
Alive but I'm broken, my pieces are scattered.
These words go unspoken like none of it mattered.
A stranger to doubt, this fear is so foreign.
A happiness drought, But the darkness is pouring.
No wonder I'm lonely, and one of the reasons,
is I feel like a phony for taming my demons.
Compelled to confess that I'm far from content.

darker awareness
Transparent attire has me bare to the bone
While My only desire is to feel less alone.
Choked by this silence I shiver in fear.
Muted by violence, the enemys near.
But the mirror reveals what I've dreaded the most.
Now I see how it feels to lock eyes with a ghost.
While My only desire is to feel less alone.
Choked by this silence I shiver in fear.
Muted by violence, the enemys near.
But the mirror reveals what I've dreaded the most.
Now I see how it feels to lock eyes with a ghost.

Cradle for sin
An itch undefined
dwells under my skin.
and my hands are designed
as a cradle for sin.
These hands welcome the chaos
such a filthy embrace
Conducting a seance,
I lure a beautiful face.
A natural high
the poison floods every vein.
A neurotic reply,
A fuzzy jolt in my brain.
Something is absent,
and I'm filled with suspense
It seems I've found my distraction
as she lands on my lips.
dwells under my skin.
and my hands are designed
as a cradle for sin.
These hands welcome the chaos
such a filthy embrace
Conducting a seance,
I lure a beautiful face.
A natural high
the poison floods every vein.
A neurotic reply,
A fuzzy jolt in my brain.
Something is absent,
and I'm filled with suspense
It seems I've found my distraction
as she lands on my lips.
