Broken Mirror
I am the nothingness in all
The broken mirror on the wall
Seeing into every single soul
But never able to be whole.
Passing through the looking glass
No eyes notice that I pass
I'll never answer what you ask
On my face there lies a mask.
I am the missing piece no one will find
I am the hidden crack within your mind
I am the little part inside of you
Only seen by an unlucky few.
Always felt and ever forgotten
Possessor of a heart so rotten
Look in the mirror you don't see
Never able to recognize me.
You'll...
The broken mirror on the wall
Seeing into every single soul
But never able to be whole.
Passing through the looking glass

I am the hidden crack within your mind
I am the little part inside of you
Only seen by an unlucky few.
Always felt and ever forgotten
Possessor of a heart so rotten
Look in the mirror you don't see
Never able to recognize me.

Lover's Words
Watch your words
Or they'll tear me apart
Watch your words
Lest they stay in my heart.
I've become the ashes in the flames
That is how I love thee
I love thee with a passion that
Makes light of the sun's intensity.
Curse the words from thine lips
That convinces the air to hide
I love thee to a height I cannot describe
For the life in my lungs has yielded and died.
I am sustained by your divine words
Exclaimed or shouted, whispered or spoken.
How do they serve you today?
Will you fix my soul or leave me broken?
...
Or they'll tear me apart
Watch your words
Lest they stay in my heart.
I've become the ashes in the flames
That is how I love thee
I love thee with a passion that
Makes light of the sun's intensity.
Curse the words from thine lips
That convinces the air to hide
I love thee to a height I cannot describe
For the life in my lungs has yielded and died.
I am sustained by your divine words
Exclaimed or shouted, whispered or spoken.
How do they serve you today?
Will you fix my soul or leave me broken?

Questions
What do you do
When Happiness hates you?
What do you say
When Hope goes away?
Where will you hide
When Faith leaves your side?
Where will you run
When Innocence holds a gun?
Who do you turn to
When Death is born anew?
Who do you blame
When Nothing doesn't give?
How will you breathe
When God begins to seethe?
There is no answer, don't you see?
Don't waste your time asking me.
When Happiness hates you?

The Changing Heart
Take this mouth that speaks
Take these eyes that see
Release your endless torture
Let oblivion take me.
Should I ever wound thee
Should my hand ever hit you
Do not hesitate even once
Lift thy blade, cut me through.
For I cursed myself for you
To allow such tormenting agony
Rip me apart, make me
Exactly who you want me to be.
I don't want to be that person
Whether insane or sane
The kind that knows nothing
The kind that causes you pain.
Welcome, kind yet cruel savagery
Tear me to pieces, tear me apart...
Take these eyes that see
Release your endless torture
Let oblivion take me.
Should I ever wound thee
Should my hand ever hit you
Do not hesitate even once
Lift thy blade, cut me through.
For I cursed myself for you
To allow such tormenting agony
Rip me apart, make me
Exactly who you want me to be.
I don't want to be that person
Whether insane or sane
The kind that knows nothing
The kind that causes you pain.
Welcome, kind yet cruel savagery
Tear me to pieces, tear me apart...

A Writer's Apple
I write on the blank pages
By light of a candle in a skull
Everything is black and white
Life is starting to look dull.
I stare at my messy words
My quill in my hand
I think about my life and work
A hollow soul in a hollow land.
I trace my fingers over the ink
I breathe deep and sigh and moan
Thinking of how my world is
My life and soul, empty, alone.
Then I see an apple
Shiny, bright and gleaming red
I stare at the colour in wonder
I no longer feel so dead.
The apple tumbles off the edge
I reach out to...
By light of a candle in a skull
Everything is black and white
Life is starting to look dull.
I stare at my messy words
My quill in my hand
I think about my life and work
A hollow soul in a hollow land.
I trace my fingers over the ink
I breathe deep and sigh and moan
Thinking of how my world is
My life and soul, empty, alone.
Then I see an apple

The Ashen Dove
Entering your bed chambers
Deep within the night
Dost thou notice me?
Basking in your dark light.
I love you with an obsession
My heart seems to miss
Breathing over your lips
All I want is you tender kiss.
The moonlight decorates your hair
Like my caresses decorate your skin
Inhaling the scent of you
Filling myself with fragrant sin.
Beautiful thou art in slumber
Not knowing that I'm here
My reverent touches go unnoticed
And you can't feel the fear.
Continue in your precious sleep
Have sweet dreams, my...
Deep within the night

I love you with an obsession
My heart seems to miss
Breathing over your lips
All I want is you tender kiss.
The moonlight decorates your hair
Like my caresses decorate your skin

Filling myself with fragrant sin.
Beautiful thou art in slumber

And you can't feel the fear.

Waterhole
We were young
And so in love
You took me to the waterhole
And I stopped to stare at a dove.
I don't know what happened
Perhaps it's my own clumsiness
I fell in the water and you did nothing
I as flailing in panic and sadness.
You stood there like you didn't care
Though you knew I couldn't swim
I struggled to breathe, watching you
I felt my eyes begin to dim.
The eyes you used to love!
Don't you love my eyes anymore?
You assured me that you loved me
But I guess that was before.
A fire crept up my fingertips...
And so in love
You took me to the waterhole
And I stopped to stare at a dove.
I don't know what happened
Perhaps it's my own clumsiness
I fell in the water and you did nothing
I as flailing in panic and sadness.
You stood there like you didn't care
Though you knew I couldn't swim
I struggled to breathe, watching you
I felt my eyes begin to dim.
The eyes you used to love!

Mad Love
I don't see a commoner
Neither do I see a royal
I just see you
My one most loyal.
You think I don't understand
You're dangerous, of course
You do terrible things in insanity
But afterwards feel remorse.
Your strange changing eyes
Are the most beautiful I've seen
Even though sometimes it makes you
Ruthless, cruel and mean.
Heartbreaking cerulean blue
For when you're feeling sad
Fierce, uncontrolled red
For when you go mad.
You are unpredictable
Far too dangerous
Still I cannot fear for my life
It's...
Neither do I see a royal
I just see you
My one most loyal.
You think I don't understand
You're dangerous, of course
You do terrible things in insanity
But afterwards feel remorse.
Your strange changing eyes
Are the most beautiful I've seen
Even though sometimes it makes you
Ruthless, cruel and mean.
Heartbreaking cerulean blue

Unreachable
I couldn't care less
Knowing you hate me
I am completely fine
If you'll just let me be.
But still you burn me with your cigarettes
Or anything at all you can use
You need to find all the ways
For you to hurl your abuse.
But of course words hurt more
Than any single broken bone
You need me to feel pain
But I just feel alone.
You try so hard to suffer me
I just shut you out
Because I know my glazed eyes
Cause you to fill with doubt.
So you keep me like a trophy
People stare at this stone cold beauty...
Knowing you hate me
I am completely fine
If you'll just let me be.
But still you burn me with your cigarettes
Or anything at all you can use
You need to find all the ways

You need me to feel pain
But I just feel alone.

Come With Me
Come with me
Come away
Let your white
Turn to grey.
Come with me
Come to bed
Come and rest
Your sleepy head.
Come with me
When I go
Say it hurts
Is that so?
Come with me
Sinful lark
Moans and groans
In the dark.
Come with me
Come this way
Turn around
Run away.
Come away
Let your white
Turn to grey.
Come with me
Come to bed
Come and rest
Your sleepy head.
Come with me
When I go
Say it hurts
Is that so?
Come with me
Sinful lark
Moans and groans
In the dark.
Come with me
Come this way
Turn around
Run away.

Oblivion World
My eyes had shined bright
The moment I awaken
I thought the earth was kind
But I suppose I was mistaken.
I was just a young girl
In my hands my innocence
Invaded by rotted vines
Holding on with selfish dependence.
I'm a girl who cries at night too
An aimless shadow in the rain
Unseen by mortals in this world
Unaware of such cruel pain.
I have lived half a life
When a beast devoured my heart
And all my young naivety
And all tortures came to start.
"Thou art thy salvation"
I am nothing now that...
The moment I awaken
I thought the earth was kind
But I suppose I was mistaken.
I was just a young girl
In my hands my innocence
Invaded by rotted vines
Holding on with selfish dependence.
I'm a girl who cries at night too
An aimless shadow in the rain
Unseen by mortals in this world
Unaware of such cruel pain.
I have lived half a life
When a beast devoured my heart
And all my young naivety
And all tortures came to start.
"Thou art thy salvation"
I am nothing now that...
