Broken smile
Shattered bits,
And broken pieces,
Fall into cracks crevasses and creases,
Flickering light,
In darkened spaces,
Illuminate not these forsaken places,
Hope is failing,
The heart slows its pounding,
Apocalypse rising trumpets sounding,
Sunlight twilight
My darkest days,
May my hollow casket fill empty graves,
Madness of sadness
Struggle in torment
My stars have fallen their wishes long spent,
Never-ending bleeding
An eternity of cries
From the tongue in my mouth flows never-ending lies,
...

Death of a gravekeeper
Another trip to the graveyard to get my fix,
I brought along better tools this time that will allow me to go deeper,
I dig up pieces of the past and sew them to my heart in attempts to stop its bleeding,
I whisper to my mind that it’s real, but my eyes know better for they watched you walk away.
These small fragments may be long dead but they still smell of you,
no matter the time that passes you are always here,
Like the stars.
I hate myself.
I have spent countless sleepless nights in this graveyard,
I know it’s no way to live and it ok...

To rise we must fall
To win we need to learn,
To learn we need to fail,
To fail we need to fall,
To fall we must part the veil,
To part the veil we need to change,
To change we need to try,
To try we need to love,
To love we need to cry,
To cry we need to lose,
To lose we need our pain,
Our pain needs our heart,
Our heart needs our brain,
Our brain needs our thoughts,
Our thoughts need to feel,
To feel we need our perceptions,
To tell us what is real,
To know what’s real we need our faith,
To have faith we need our soul,...
To learn we need to fail,
To fail we need to fall,
To fall we must part the veil,
To part the veil we need to change,
To change we need to try,
To try we need to love,
To love we need to cry,
To cry we need to lose,
To lose we need our pain,
Our pain needs our heart,
Our heart needs our brain,
Our brain needs our thoughts,
Our thoughts need to feel,
To feel we need our perceptions,
To tell us what is real,
To know what’s real we need our faith,
To have faith we need our soul,...

Fear can kill anything
Love unexpressed
Infected hearts decompose
Here's to being rotten

The price of happiness
A penny for your thoughts,
A smile for your dream,
A hero for your nightmares,
Someone to hold you when you scream,
A nickel for your secrets,
Bravery for your fears,
A kiss for your scars,
A hand to wipe away the tears,
A dime for your pain,
Love to heal the sorrow,
A light for your darkness,
Is my promise for your tomorrow.

Prices for Vices
Crimson iron runs
Now coated in liquid salt
My life becomes rust
Now coated in liquid salt

Perfect
PERFECT smile holds PERFECT secrets,
PERFECT eyes shed PERFECT tears,
PERFECT hearts feel PERFECT pains,
PERFECT souls hide PERFECT fears,
you’re PERFECT in your broken pieces,
you’re PERFECT in your flaws abound,
a PERFECT light lost in the PERFECT darkness,
just waiting to be found.

Mercy for the dead
Destroy that which binds me to her.
Sever the veins that flow,
The heart that aches,
Kill the emotions that know,
the soul that breaks,
Drowned the eyes that cry,
the body that copes,
Burn the lips that lie,
The mind that hopes.

Innocence Lost
Tumble down the rabbit hole into the world of dreams,
Where the lines of make believe are slowly tearing at the seams,
Spying through the looking glass,
the images now distorted,
Smiles fake through broken teeth,
where as bodies lie contorted,
White roses painted red,
soaked in crimson blood,
Shadowing the yellow brick road,
now tarnished from the mud,
The wardrobes has been set ablaze,
now lies in a pile of ember,
Say goodbye to never land,
if the art of flying you can't remember,
Goblins and trolls and kings and...

The first red rose
Little wild rose, growing all alone,
Petals ivory white, with thorns as sharp as stone,
No one is left standing of those who’ve faced the pain,
Is standing and willing enough to endure to try again,
The tears build upon her face, like shining stars they adorn,
Waiting to be wiped away by someone willing to brave the thorns,
The air is growing colder, as the wind is blowing hard,
As she’s forced to warm herself alone, scratched, and scarred,
Her tines cut her deep, much deeper than the rest,
Each time coming closer to piercing the heart...

Barb wire tourniquet
The ivory moon, shines on a blood rose petal,
bound in chains of twisted metal,
visions in my mind voices in my head,
senses failing hanging by a thread,
nightmares shadow reality's dreams
mind from body tearing at the seams,
tears runs cold, sickness growing,
fading away, circulation slowing,
death approaches, the reapers looming,
souls misguided, darkness consuming,
life contorted, personality split,
stifle bleeding, barb wire tourniquet.
