Poison
I want to believe you
God how I do,
every time I let my walls down
I begin to let you through
but it only lasts
such a brief fucking time
before you're changing your story,
feeding me more lines,
you're driving me crazy
sometimes I think that's the point,
your words have become poison
infecting my soul,
they've corroded my heart,
blackened my veins,
your "love" is dangerous,
a wicked game you play,
your love is killing me...slowly
more and more everyday,
I must be suicidal because still I try
even knowing...

Another Line
I hate myself more and more
with the disappearance of every white line,
I lose myself more and more
with every high,
and I hate you more and more
every time I come down,
something that started off so fun
turned into something dark and twisted,
I hate knowing
that it was me who pulled away
who ruined us
by becoming too involved in this world,
me that pushed you aside
for a more exciting life,
it kills me more than the drug ever could
to know that you tried to pull me back,
even after all the terrible things that had happened,...

Breaking News
it's been days
and I've tried so very hard,
I've tried to be the bigger person,
swallow all my hurt, all the petty little quirks you didn't understand,
pushed all my pain and resentment deep into the dark bowels of my soul,
I've tried to get to know you
the you that you've become,
I knew it wouldn't be easy,
I knew it would take time,
I guess it hasn't been that long,
maybe I'm just being naive
but surely by now I should FEEL something,
god how I've tried,
I've done all the things that you wanted from me before,
I know...

Blessed
I sit here every night,
I no longer sleep,
just sit and think
lose myself in the memories,
travel back in time
to a time when I knew how to be happy,
stupid, little things
but they meant the everything to me
driving 170 miles every morning and night
just to spend an hour with a friend,
it was exhausting but so worth it
to hear him laugh, be able to make him smile
when our time was up, I'd rush back home
jump on the bed and pick up the phone
talk to him until I fell asleep

You Say
"come with me," you said
not a single thought dared enter my head,
no room for excuses
or even doubt
I packed my belongings
and we headed out
"I love you," you said to me
and it felt so right,
so good and pure,
like I deserved you,
I didn't even know you
"it'll be okay," you say
as every tear falls,
you hold me in your arms
and just let me be
broken and ashamed
not worthy of you
"we'll get through this, I love you, it'll be okay," you say

My Smile
I used to smile
I used to love,
I gave you my heart
you gave me lies, excuses and pain,
you returned my heart
only the corners were black
pieces were missing,
how much love will it take to get them back,
how much love is needed to color me in?
you took away
all that made me me,
you left me broke
nothing but a sad joke,
you didn't just break my heart
you tore it out,
stole my soul,
scattered my parts
and laughed all the while
I tried to collect the pieces,
tried to find a way to smile,
drink after drink,
guy...

Smile
wipe the tears from your eyes
hush my heart,
soon it'll be over
i'll be fine,
raise your head high
stand up and be proud,
look the enemy in the face
and never back down,
life your gun up
look through the scope
gently squeeze the trigger
Smile
and then let go,
cover the body
in a sheet of white,
tell him goodbye
step into the night and
Smile
wipe away your tears,
why do you cry,
it's better this way
he had to die
Smile,
now there will be
no more bruises and scars,
no yelling and fighting,...

Nothing
minutes
hours
days,
they're all the same now,
promises mean nothing
when your world
is filled with lies and deception,
hurt and pain,
months seem like years
when you have nothing to look forward to,
when all hope is gone,
when there is no happiness
to hold on to,
when false truths
are all you have,
when deception is your entire life.

Solace and Peace
another black eye
another tear,
how will i make it through the year?
i try to scream
i try to fight
try to resist with all my might,
a broken nose
a swollen jaw
too embarrassed to go to the law,
a bust finger
scrapped up face
oh how i want to leave this place,
broken glass at my feet
solace and peace i shall seek,
an empty bottle
a puddle of blood
my year is over
now i'm with god.

only a moment
as the razor drags
across my wrist,
the scarlet blood appears
glistening like dew after a spring rain,
splashed across porcelain skin
the contrast in colors
beautiful, pure
numbness sets in
and all the pain in the world
fades away
if only for a brief moment
time stops
across my wrist,
the scarlet blood appears
glistening like dew after a spring rain,
splashed across porcelain skin
the contrast in colors
beautiful, pure
numbness sets in
and all the pain in the world
fades away
if only for a brief moment
time stops

Falling Rain
The glistening tears are beginning to fall
cascading down my cheeks,
my heart feels heavy,
my knees are wobbly and weak,
my sight is blinded by the tears
it seems as if the world were ending,
and perhaps it really is,
time holds no meaning now
the gentle rain begins to fall,
gently, ever so gently,
softly falling down to earth
to refurbish it with life,
which seems so ironic,
the rain can bring so much to life
but it can't bring you back to me,
I turn to leave your grave
and watch as the gusting wind
blows away your flowers.

Crimson
Broken glass litters the floor
music plays in the background
and the lights are turned low,
pictures and letters
overcome the plush, brown carpet
she barely knew she had,
a glass of everclear
and liquid drano in her hand,
decapitated photos of her ex-man,
slowly she draws the knife
across her gentle, soft flesh
she likes to watch the crimson flow
over his face like a mockery
as if he were the one hurting her,
without hesitation
she swallows the contents of the cup,
her throat burns and her eyes water
still she is fixated...
