I hate you.
If the sky turns black
I still wouldn't hold my hand out for you
If your world fell apart
I'd continue with mine
Don't tell me you love me
Because I don't love you
I would not give up my world for you
I hate you
With a certain kind of sincerity
One that I hope always sticks with you
I may have built you up
But I'll gladly tear you back down
Into nothing
You have no idea what I'm capable of
I've no problem letting go, because I do not believe in love
"Then how do you hate" you asked
My dear, hate is just an...

Again and Again
You shouldn't think too highly of yourself
The mirrors don't reflect you soul
You're not a free delicate spirit,
You're not God sent
You're not clean
Stop acting like it.
Yes, I am using you
No, I don't care that you were abused
No, I don't love you
I never did.
I never will.
I just use you.
I'm no different from the rest
So don't bother to try your best
"Why do I get used?" you wonder.
Because you think too highly of yourself.
Words can easily persuade you.
You think the mirror reflects who you really are
But...
The mirrors don't reflect you soul
You're not a free delicate spirit,
You're not God sent
You're not clean
Stop acting like it.
Yes, I am using you
No, I don't care that you were abused
No, I don't love you
I never did.
I never will.
I just use you.
I'm no different from the rest
So don't bother to try your best

Three lines, just three.
The blind see what other's don't believe
The def hear silence louder than anyone can speak
The cripple would run the fastest if they could use their feet.

I stand above you
Sacred thoughts
turn into loose shots
Once felt feelings
lose all possible meaning
Your once overruling fears
are drowned out by your meaningless tears
First sign of loss and you panic
then look for sympathy from me like a manic
Are you confused
when you get used?
Why do you get sad?
why does it make you mad?
You set yourself up
for getting your mind fucked
You're expecting someone to care
when after all it's you who is scared
All that you know
crumbles to the ground
All you had to show
crashes all around
You...
turn into loose shots

Ink
The most destructive force in this universe is ink
When you see ink on a paper, it makes you think
Ink has the power to leave behind a trail of fear
Ink has the power to spark up an anger
Ink has the power to make you smile
And the same ink that made you smile, will make you think the same person as vile.
Ink is the medium, from my mind and heart to the paper
Ink can gain you a lover, ink can gain you a hater
Ink fades away
But leaves an imprint of your thoughts, so they always stay
Ink has the power to communicate
What's written in ink has the...

Poems
Unchain your mind
Let the words flow off the page into your lap
Who cares if it doesn't make sense
Just let it free you
Let it help you
It gives
And it expects you to give back
Make love to it
Romance it
Say random shit
Just to piss people off
Or write something that's been on your heart for a while
Let it speak your mind and heart for you
Even if it seems like nothing,
It makes you feel better
It's a two armed hug (the best!)
It holds you and lets you fall apart in it
Just fall apart
Unleash it from your brain...

Over the hills
Over the hills a shot rang out
So I climbed over the fence to find what it was all about
What I had seen
Was like something from a dream
A battle was raging
But it was thoughts they were waging
With every bullet that tore through them
Colors shouted through the rim
And slapped me in the face
And put me in my place
Watching from a distance
Deciding they could use some assistance
So I too slung a blade
And it too was my thoughts I had waged
But lost them all
When the colors started to fall
So now I'm trying to get back to the...

Just take it slow
It'll be ok
these things just take time, it doesn't hurt to wait
I know you're worried
but just take it slow, don't be in a hurry
I know you're scared
You told me things I thought you'd never have shared
I know it's tough for you
but I'll be here until you see it through
They'll say what they say
but you'll weather through it for another day
They'll stone you and tear you down
but I guess I'll still be here kicking around
Just take it slow
I'll wait, I'll know
It'll be ok, just's take it slow
these things just take time, it doesn't hurt to wait
I know you're worried
but just take it slow, don't be in a hurry
I know you're scared
You told me things I thought you'd never have shared
I know it's tough for you
but I'll be here until you see it through
They'll say what they say
but you'll weather through it for another day
They'll stone you and tear you down

It'll be ok, just's take it slow

The last reign
Your kingdom is left laid to waste
The people who bowed to you
The families that they grew
All dead
Your crops and fields are all burned to the ground
The land is salted
Your trusted men were first to turn on you
Only later did the rest of the kingdom follow
It's hard believing it, I know
The people who held closest to you
Were the ones you should have kept distant
And the people distant to you, you should have kept close
Your rule is over
Your wife, your children are all dead
Laying to waste
In the hell you created on land
Good...

It's a love
Every time I try to crawl away,
I feel you calling me back in
Every night
I go running back to you
And every morning, it hurts when I have to leave you
I can't control my feelings when you hold me so tight
You've seen the best and worst of me
Gosh, it's always so hard to leave
But that one little thing always tears us apart
At night we're perfect together,
Then when the morning comes, it just makes us depart from each other.
So I'll tell you this, and hope you'll understand,
Dear, sweet, wonderful bed, I'm sorry I have to leave you every day,...
I feel you calling me back in
Every night
I go running back to you
And every morning, it hurts when I have to leave you
I can't control my feelings when you hold me so tight
You've seen the best and worst of me
Gosh, it's always so hard to leave
But that one little thing always tears us apart
At night we're perfect together,
Then when the morning comes, it just makes us depart from each other.
So I'll tell you this, and hope you'll understand,
Dear, sweet, wonderful bed, I'm sorry I have to leave you every day,...

Dead Inspiration
Sitting in my chambers, my thoughts making me a consumption
Something caught my attention
I heard something fall
inside, maybe the hall?
no, outside I'm sure
I looked out my window, and saw a bit of what I thought was fur
And then saw a raven lying on the ground
Somehow through the rain I heard it fall making the faintest sound
And it's pounding through my head like a freight train
That sound mixed with the rain
Is it dead?
I wondered as I laid it on my bed
I checked for a heart beat
No such murmur, deathly cold despite the heat
I wasn't...

Not for love, only to know I'm still human
The words that pour from my lips,
do not mean I care.
If I cared, I would tell you,
and I would not lie to you.
The magic that shoots from my fingertips,
could save you.
But that does not mean I will.
I occasionally use my heart,
a small percent for love, a very, very small percent,
and the rest for making sure I'm still human
Just making sure I feel bad
So I know I'm still here
Because that's all we have as humans
to know we are humans.
Feeling bad
Never feeling good
We've been told that we must have done something wrong if we...
do not mean I care.
