London Boy
London Boy knew me for years
We were young and to him, friendship
Was not enough of a relationship
But all it brought to me was fear
Because London Boy was my best friend
But he said he can no longer pretend
I said no, and he left me in the land of pearls
And I believed that he'd found another girl
But by magic of the times, soon we found
Us back in each other's arms
Though we were a million miles apart
Though we cannot touch and feel a spark
I gave London Boy my poetry
And he called it nothing but words
I told him that it...

Untitled
When pain is your only friend
And blood, your only comfort
How can you pretend
How much can you hold
As the blade cut through my skin
The pain drips away
In blood, it drips away
And leaves a pretty stain on my skin
It dries, it cracks
Like my emotions
New hurt, new cut
New blood drops in motion
Red blood, white skin
Brown wood, black hair
Hitting against each other
It's okay, I deserve the sting
Oh, the sting!
Don't leave me this way!
Stay with me, stay
Let's turn the day into night
If you...
And blood, your only comfort
How can you pretend
How much can you hold
As the blade cut through my skin
The pain drips away
In blood, it drips away
And leaves a pretty stain on my skin
It dries, it cracks
Like my emotions
New hurt, new cut
New blood drops in motion
Red blood, white skin
Brown wood, black hair
Hitting against each other
It's okay, I deserve the sting
Oh, the sting!
Don't leave me this way!
Stay with me, stay
Let's turn the day into night
If you...

As I Lay Me Down to Sleep
As I lay me down to sleep
I hope you won't weep
Think of me facing the sun
Not the girl trying to run
No need for the softest to lie in
A fancy dress to sleep in
'Cause it wouldn't change a thing
Eyes shut tight, lips unmoving
As I lay me down to sleep
Keep my dreams in a heap
Remember the days when I flew
The days I made it through
I don't need pearls and satin
Not your sweet talk, but the music that set me free
When I was still alive and burning
In the world of words that let me be
When what's done is done...
I hope you won't weep
Think of me facing the sun
Not the girl trying to run
No need for the softest to lie in
A fancy dress to sleep in
'Cause it wouldn't change a thing
Eyes shut tight, lips unmoving
As I lay me down to sleep
Keep my dreams in a heap
Remember the days when I flew
The days I made it through
I don't need pearls and satin
Not your sweet talk, but the music that set me free
When I was still alive and burning
In the world of words that let me be
When what's done is done...

Morte
You wipe away the silver tracks
And the rain starts again
Push the weight off your back
But still the pain remains
An itch where your Nile flows
A banging on your greymatter
A shaking in your fingers and toes
Blocking air where it matters
Fear? I fear nothing. I fear the nothing.
I fear everything.
It's kissing me senseless, holding me tight
It's slowly killing me with fright.
The light is on.
It's dark inside.
Moans and groans from pain unseen
I never really know what they mean.
Hit me in the head, I might...
And the rain starts again
Push the weight off your back
But still the pain remains
An itch where your Nile flows
A banging on your greymatter
A shaking in your fingers and toes
Blocking air where it matters
Fear? I fear nothing. I fear the nothing.
I fear everything.
It's kissing me senseless, holding me tight
It's slowly killing me with fright.
The light is on.
It's dark inside.
Moans and groans from pain unseen
I never really know what they mean.
Hit me in the head, I might...

Low Spark
I wish I could be the spark
To start a dazzling flame
To reduce someone to ash
And never be the same
I wish I could be a muse
Who makes someone bemused
And play no games
But write poetry to my name
But I am still hidden
I am still unfound
Waiting for a thing unbidden
To set me unbound
Give me your melody
Give me your sounds
And I'll give you me
My words, profound
I hear the creak of a door
A giggle from the street
The tap on the cold floor
Of my stiff cold feet
I get lost in the world...
To start a dazzling flame
To reduce someone to ash
And never be the same
I wish I could be a muse
Who makes someone bemused
And play no games
But write poetry to my name
But I am still hidden
I am still unfound
Waiting for a thing unbidden
To set me unbound
Give me your melody
Give me your sounds
And I'll give you me
My words, profound
I hear the creak of a door
A giggle from the street
The tap on the cold floor
Of my stiff cold feet
I get lost in the world...

Twenty-six Letters
In twenty-six letters, I let myself drown
Whenever i can no longer hold back my frown
The pain and the tears I try to handle
As they try to drip like melted wax from a burning candle
Its light, I use to see in the dark
But I held it too close, the flame licked my skin and left a mark
The scar it made in my body will forever last
And so is the memory of me, burned yet frozen still, aghast
I then willed my feet to move, one after the other
And prayed to God that my light would not falter
Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of the dark in this...
Whenever i can no longer hold back my frown
The pain and the tears I try to handle
As they try to drip like melted wax from a burning candle
Its light, I use to see in the dark
But I held it too close, the flame licked my skin and left a mark
The scar it made in my body will forever last
And so is the memory of me, burned yet frozen still, aghast
I then willed my feet to move, one after the other
And prayed to God that my light would not falter

Night Thief
Oh, you night thief
Bring me back my sanity
Oh, give me morning relief
Sync me with reality
Take my heavy breath
From my tired lungs
In my throat's a threat
That I've become unstrung
So please, night thief
If you're gonna steal my light
Leave me a little to last the night
So when it's over and daylight comes
To sleep, myself, I can still quietly hum
Bring me back my sanity
Oh, give me morning relief
Sync me with reality
Take my heavy breath
From my tired lungs
In my throat's a threat
That I've become unstrung
So please, night thief
If you're gonna steal my light
Leave me a little to last the night
So when it's over and daylight comes
To sleep, myself, I can still quietly hum
