Unicorn
She’s the girl at the party
reading Lolita in the corner
instead of conversing the idle
she never learned how to read books with blank pages
She has a heart of gold
it’s just a bit broken
Can’t you hear it?
It’s beating for you already
She’s looking to be soaked in safety
not just comfort
She thinks she may find it
in your dry sense of humor
She wants you to untangle her twisted mind
She’s searching for someone to understand
the evocation that is her soul
that she’s a black hole

Artist
Those whom are easily liked by everyone
will seldom be loved deeply by anyone
Maybe some people the world belongs to
while other people belong to the world
I’ve accepted my fate
The girl who no one understands
The witch who burns in the sun
Fated to lie in the middle of the ocean
singing a siren’s song for eternity
I wonder if anyone will ever hear it
I wonder if it will have been worth it
To create art that no one will admire
to help those who will never care
Should I have tried harder to be normal?
Picking my...

Butterflies in the Basement
It’s only when I see the pain behind someone’s eyes
knowing they have seen the same devil as I
Wondering what price they’re paying
Knowing there were no butterflies in the basement
and that it didn’t stop me from following him down
Sometimes it seems the stairway will never end
and I’ll be going down those steps forever
Because the ribbons were ripped out of my hair
and the crayons were stolen from my hand
No nightlight could brighten the darkness that was coming for me
My lilies were set on fire
and I was drawn to it like a...

Pitter Patter
I’ll be your angel
if you’ll be my amethyst
My comfort and my chaos
Flames this high tend to burn fast
but if the rhythm of the falling rain can’t drown us
maybe you’re my once in a lifetime
Laying next to you
choirs singing mellifluous nothings
music even older than our souls
My wordsmith
My manifestation
My lullaby of Lucifer
Running around the world
echoing each other’s thoughts
drifting like oak in the sea
Reckless and poetic

Keep going
The devil weeps for you
The angels cry with you
The harps plays a melody of your sorrow
Could this be the last verse of your ballad?
The ghosts haunting your hallways
want a place to call home too
They say a little prayer for you
But sometimes
life is just too hard to live
And sometimes
it just hurts too bad to be you
But there is light
There is life
in those skeletons in your closet
Those broken hearts are still beating
It’s not time for your swan song
There is solace in your sadness

Pity the Simple Minds
Not everybody likes a deep ocean
some are only comfortable in the shallows
They want to be able to stand in the water
instead of dive under
Not everybody likes a deep ocean
Not everybody likes a wise mind
Not everybody likes a long story
Not everybody likes a seasoned soul
Not everybody likes a deep ocean
But oh
the wild life they miss
The coral reefs
The fascinating creatures
The purity of the sand
The lights that beam through the tides
They miss everything
Not everybody will dive down
to see...

Moonlight
I don’t want to be your
sunshine
I want to be your
moonlight
I don’t want to spit morning in your face
and remind you that it’s time to go to work
I want to be that spirit
that lets you know that it’s time to relax
I don’t want to burn your eyes or your skin
I never want to be capable of hurting you
I want to illuminate your soul
I may be under appreciated
eclipsed in the shadows
but I accept that
because I know that I’ll always be that small
light
guiding you in all of the
darkness.
