POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
CRUSH
stripped to the skin and bone
i'll be anything that you'd want to know
tell me every secret that you've ever known
desperate for your insight inside out i'll turn myself
broken into shards of glass
collect them with your bare hands, bleed and scar
etch yourself a second sense, skin imprints
can never really be let go
crush me
do you want to change your energy?
charge me
do you want to live in perfect symmetry?
crush me
do you want to know the taste of empathy?
change me
do you want to feel the pain and the ecstasy?
...

CHAIN
if you tasted like leather
i could replicate your scent
without seeking you out
without pushing you down
if you tasted like metal
i could replicate the sense
of fear and submission
without bringing you in
i was a chain around your neck
i was a pain inside your head
if your body was just bone
i could fuck a skeleton
if you made me feel low
i could drink to feel it
if you felt like fire
i could light myself up
if you kissed like water
i could drown myself, love
i was a chain around your neck
i...

hurting me
is it self-medication
or just a light switch that never sticks
my temptation lies in wait for me to
turn out the lights and terrify my sleepless mind
promise i won't sink and wake up
when i drink i have to get fucked up
because it's in my blood
and no one will punish me for it
wouldn't i be better off if i could sleep alone
with nothing in my thoughts?
telling you it's lust or even less
wish i was as loveless as i pretend
but i'd get so fucking cold
without you in my head to warm me up
i'm angry and bitter and she's the...

look the other way
so quick, i slipped and here we are
oblivious with two scars
bleeding into your mind
one memory at a time
i'll stay, there is no other way
i am the worst you could attain
obstacles at every turn
sometimes i think i'll never learn
but my speakers play what you choose
i've got nothing left to lose
and when i don't see the same look in your face
i'll turn and look the other way
one week, how has it gone so far
i've lost myself, i'm not half scared
i thought it would take more time
to shelve my echoes in a past life

innocent
under cover, it's unremarkable
love or lover, i watch you sparkle
hit the lights, so satisfying
at these heights it's terrifying
oh what you desire, and what you deserve
i wanna be fire that you can preserve
so reserve your judgement, save your substance
what's the punishment for this?
and whatever happens in your absence
i bet we won't miss a thing
i just wanna be innocent but you've been keeping it
i just wanna be innocent, innocent
i wanna be your spirit and your drive
i wanna be your ghost and your life
i wanna be...

animal
i'd like nothing more
than to see this feeling off
like i'm at the airport
with no return flight
and i'd like nothing better
than to just let it out of my head
it's an animal in a cage
it's an animal in a cage
but if it gets out, will it eat me alive?
and it's such a risk but i'm willing to try
and it haunts my mind, now i've got the key
and all i wanna do is set it free
suspend your disbelief
this time i'm really over it
i swear it's different
this time
"you're such a narcissist"
i say staring...

you and i are burnt into the ice
repress me, keep me down
contain me, constrain me
i can't live like this anymore
control me, detain me
put me in the strongest chains
lock me up extinguish the flames
that burned the sparks between us
fade away
the incandescence now apathy
you burnt me up
like ash disintegrating
freezing in the ice
the heat of lust
cursed us
left us wanting more than this
losing everything losing our minds
i neglect you but you go blind
his lawlessness is my weakness
take advantage while i'm speechless
he leads me i follow...

romance is dead
you say i think about myself too much
you might be right but i just can't seem to stop
you say that i push myself too far
but i don't push myself enough
you tell me that i need to stop
but i'm not a fan of giving up
why are you telling me you wanna talk
i don't wanna talk
tell me romance is dead
tell me to just forget it
don't keep pulling on the thread
tell me romance is dead
tell me romance is dead
tell me it's all in my head
when love's on it's deathbed
tell me i should go ahead and run
you knew i was...

afterglow
take me into the dark when i want to be alone
be cold to me when all i want is warmth
darken me in summers when all i feel is light
only you can end the day and summon all the night
violate me with all the dark intentions in your eyes
deepen the deepest fear i've felt between your sighs
change me into something willing, warm and weak
you will force my mouth shut and never let me speak
it will be a miracle when i see you here and know
you're not the only one who leaves my eyes aglow
you will break my heart again and again and again ...

moonlight / stay
moonlight
and you and me
until the end of the world
through our lives
and through the lights
it has always been this way
stay with me, don't
leave me here alone
and in the dark all that i know
is i love you
i love you
i love you
i love you
candlelit
just illuminating you
you're the one that never burns out
quiet now
no need to say anything
don't need anything but you
stay with me, don't
leave me here alone
and in the dark all that i know
is i love you
i love you
i love...

almost lovers
caught me up again my love
waiting for the sun to come up
remembering i love you
with such indifference
it was just enough to pull you in
but not enough to keep you
the almost days what we almost had
we were almost there
on the edge of a love affair
but holding on so tight to dignity
almost lovers without touching
the things we almost said
we could have loved instead
we had our chance and now it’s over
if all lovers have their time
ours was mid july
six months later we lost it
and there’s nothing to keep us warm...

what a way to die
i don't want to dream about you anymore
everything i wanted has crashed and burned
i want to lose you i want to refuse you
and i don't want another chance
i thought that you would build me up
and break me down in the best way
but then we kissed
and couldn't look each other in the face
you'll never be a hero or a saint
or a gentleman
you'll never be anything good for me
my fantasies died in reality
oh what a way to die
what a way to die
i don't want to think about it anymore
secrets that i kept are not secrets anymore...
