Slipping
Standing at the edge
Staring down the pit
Quivering lip
As my fingers start to slip
Stubbed toe, stumble and trip
And I fall in once again
This feeling of dread
Has hit like a brick
I wasn't that quick
And it solidly clipped
My outstretched wing tips
And I collapse into pain
Someone please hold me
protect me from this rain...
Staring down the pit
Quivering lip
As my fingers start to slip
Stubbed toe, stumble and trip
And I fall in once again
This feeling of dread
Has hit like a brick
I wasn't that quick
And it solidly clipped
My outstretched wing tips
And I collapse into pain
Someone please hold me
protect me from this rain...

Masquerade
Sometimes we don’t realize;
We forget to hide
Our deepest sighs
As we’re tossed back and forth
Between hello and goodbye,
Crumbling masks our only disguise.
The first time the knife broke skin
There was something deep within
That awoke, like the demon it is,
As the blood pooled
Along the newly made crease
Before spilling down his leg
Like tears of life.
He chose his leg
To hide the scars,
Claiming the fate
Of long pants
On the hottest days
Over the shame
And the blame
Held in judgmental stares
At...

silence
he drives home,
swerving through the silence of cars passing by
and rain compressing between the tires and the pavement,
spraying against the wind
making the chassis sway sway sway
he sits in the silence of his empty car,
harmonizing against his vacant stare,
his chilled heart
and the tumultuous murmur of voices
repeating against his turbulent brain,
slowly fading into place against each other
until the silence
vibrates
against the back of his mind
as he stares at the center line
and the trucks flying by ...
