I'll Gladly Burn Vampires
I bet
you like red
because it's the color of pain
I bet
she wears red
to hide the blood
from your hands
I bet
you like red
for the violence
that runs through your head
And I bet
the red on her lips
reminds you not of sin
but the blood that will run
from the tongue
you'll cut from her face
When she speaks
when she realizes once more
she's a person and not your whore
not a toy for you to mistreat
So she bled
and you laughed
you don't love the color...
you like red
because it's the color of pain
I bet
she wears red
to hide the blood
from your hands
I bet
you like red
for the violence
that runs through your head
And I bet
the red on her lips
reminds you not of sin
but the blood that will run
from the tongue
you'll cut from her face
When she speaks
when she realizes once more
she's a person and not your whore
not a toy for you to mistreat
So she bled
and you laughed
you don't love the color...

Underwater
Underwater
I wish I could see my face
beneath the surface
Not a reflection,
just looking for myself
drowned for a lack of affection-
or something like attention?
Wish I was less of a mess
but I can't stop rolling...
A turmoil of waves crashing
against these stones
I was looking for a way to feel
anything but the cold
and I'm warm now...
I wanted a way to feel
just a way to feel
like I'm above the water
Would I even care if I drowned?
Would everyone who held me,
who...
I wish I could see my face
beneath the surface
Not a reflection,
just looking for myself
drowned for a lack of affection-
or something like attention?
Wish I was less of a mess
but I can't stop rolling...
A turmoil of waves crashing
against these stones
I was looking for a way to feel
anything but the cold
and I'm warm now...
I wanted a way to feel
just a way to feel
like I'm above the water
Would I even care if I drowned?
Would everyone who held me,

I Saw Your Beauty Once
Walls are made for us
to yearn from the other side,
loose bricks breaking hearts
Walls are made and placed
to be tall and to be proud
but I feel no pride
I place my ear there...
let me hear your heart again-
no, bricks don't share sound
There is only wind
a delicate, lonely thing
and I feel defeat
I was something once
but the wall is here to stay
no way to know you
...No way to know you
and you were so beautiful
I can only dream
to yearn from the other side,
loose bricks breaking hearts
Walls are made and placed
to be tall and to be proud
but I feel no pride
I place my ear there...
let me hear your heart again-
no, bricks don't share sound
There is only wind
a delicate, lonely thing
and I feel defeat
I was something once
but the wall is here to stay
no way to know you
...No way to know you
and you were so beautiful
I can only dream

To Desire is to Despair
We don't kiss flowers
we crush them instead
We don't play in the rain,
it burns our fragile skin-
and we don't take lovers
only prisoners for our hearts
We don't give in
when they beg for the key
that would rip them
from us
Oh, I've never kissed a flower
but if I did...
I would never hurt one again
we crush them instead
We don't play in the rain,
it burns our fragile skin-
and we don't take lovers
only prisoners for our hearts
We don't give in
when they beg for the key
that would rip them
from us
Oh, I've never kissed a flower
but if I did...
I would never hurt one again

Pardon
Pardon,
je ne suis pas assez jolie...
Unworthy of your art
And I've tried every color
on the palette, but my outlet
was just brown
and there are others
you can place against the wall
and call art
Oh, I'm not art
something cold like war
something stiff like boards
on windows to keep the world out
I'm the creaking of a floor
that bears the weight of angry steps
running for the door
so...
Pardon,
je suis indigne
Sigh
In the end...
I hope you face your lens...

Suicidal Ballerina
Well, you're dancing on a bridge
an arabesque, a pirouette
it's hard to watch, but I can't forget
oh no I can't
You may be a swan,
but before I'm gone
I hope those wings
can save you
Because baby, you're going mad
baby, you make me... sad
maybe you'll never be the best
I'll ever have but something
about the way you hurt yourself
hurts me more than it should have
Your grand jete, my heart's in pain
you leap across the arches
and I can't look away
blood from your hands
slipping on...
an arabesque, a pirouette
it's hard to watch, but I can't forget
oh no I can't

Deicida
I had a dream
a stupid little dream
about a stupid little girl,
yeah that's me-
The Murderess
When the moon blinks
and I know I'm gone
I've changed something
and I come awake
so when the laughter
grounds me in place
I remember that haunting
in your face
I had a dream
a hopeful little dream
a gleam in the eyes of
the storm I reap
when I rage
when I crave...
oh, how I crave
so I go and I go and I go
and I spin and I crash
watch the smoke
let...

the Taste
A taste..
struck by brilliance,
met with haste-
The best kind of haste
A devouring,
a collision, the chase
like lightning tracing the sky
facing an electrical high
It was just a taste
and it was the best
I've ever known
There's something dumb
in my face now
something numb
in my brain now
I took the shot of a lover
the last arrow kept
in Cupid's bow
Gods,
I hope it wasn't
a waste...

Thinking of "Coming" to Church
Breathe
Inhale,
then exhale
Inhale,
then ex-
sigh
Au moins une pute sait aimer
au moins je sais aimer
au moins je sais...
How can the pious know best
when once they fall to their knees
they don't know what to do
from there?
Inhale,
then exhale
Inhale,
then ex-
sigh
Au moins une pute sait aimer
au moins je sais aimer
au moins je sais...
How can the pious know best
when once they fall to their knees
they don't know what to do

My Future Was Never Set in Stone
May 24, 2017
I wrote out a prose
a fear, a wish, alone
well that was the fear...
Being alone.
Living alone, and well..
dying alone
"One day I am going to have a beautiful home somewhere the grass grows tall and the nights are alive with starlight. Snow capped mountains will be visible in the distance while the smell of flowers permeate throughout the fields."
It begins serenely
deceivingly peaceful
pleasantly leading the reader
by the hand down the darkness
of my mind
For I am...

Birth of a Hero: When She Mourns
Ashes are what's left of the grass
the oceans boil, and I hear her screaming
I know her tremor, I feel her in my trance
I watch her weep, I see her bleeding
Where are the guns, your lover's sword?
Your father's rage, the ship poised to sail
on your mother's fjord?
Where are your children?
do you shield their eyes?
When will you be ready to say goodbye?
Something shadows the horizon
beating wings that shake the wind...
I can hear the gods work their fists
I can feel the song our seeress sings
But will it...
the oceans boil, and I hear her screaming
I know her tremor, I feel her in my trance
I watch her weep, I see her bleeding
Where are the guns, your lover's sword?
Your father's rage, the ship poised to sail
on your mother's fjord?
Where are your children?
do you shield their eyes?
When will you be ready to say goodbye?
Something shadows the horizon
beating wings that shake the wind...
I can hear the gods work their fists
I can feel the song our seeress sings
But will it...

Birth of a Hero: Berserker
Is this sacred, or is this madness?
I need power, dancing and twirling-
Oh how we spin...
Thirteen moons, fourteen suns
filled with lust, filled with blood
I was new, but what I've done
wasn't madness, you told me
you got this, you got this
but you spiraled out of control
So I watched them all fall
Tell your brothers not to fight
tell your mothers in order to protect
they must take their children and hide
Tell your friends it will be alright
I'll be there before the morning light
There's...
I need power, dancing and twirling-
Oh how we spin...
Thirteen moons, fourteen suns
filled with lust, filled with blood
I was new, but what I've done
wasn't madness, you told me
you got this, you got this
but you spiraled out of control
So I watched them all fall
Tell your brothers not to fight
tell your mothers in order to protect
they must take their children and hide
Tell your friends it will be alright
I'll be there before the morning light
There's...
