Shakespeares Love Story
This love is a caricature,
A performance for pleasure.
Endless intermissions and laughter,
Never ending ever afters.
Forever is a hyperbole that becomes a promise,
Forever ends when it’s forgotten.
A souvenir black eye,
Craving to cave to your kind.
Love was just a consummation bound by time,
An act of love in the face of a crowd was just a line.
A kiss left up to interpretation by our audience,
The kiss in the wings wasn’t of relevance.
Spotting you with a spotlight,
You’re looking right at me but...
A performance for pleasure.
Endless intermissions and laughter,
Never ending ever afters.
Forever is a hyperbole that becomes a promise,
Forever ends when it’s forgotten.
A souvenir black eye,
Craving to cave to your kind.
Love was just a consummation bound by time,
An act of love in the face of a crowd was just a line.
A kiss left up to interpretation by our audience,
The kiss in the wings wasn’t of relevance.
Spotting you with a spotlight,
You’re looking right at me but...

Dumb Love
I would have burnt at the stake for you
I didn’t realize it was you starting the fire
I didn’t realize it was you starting the fire

A Vampire’s Embrace (Unchained Melody)
DRACON’S CASTLE
Sighisoara, Romania
“Would you like to go and get some breakfast? We do have a very long day ahead of us.”
“I would love that.”
“Ahh…was that guy really someone you know.”
“Yes.”
“I thought you had a boyfriend.”
The inquiry caught Naynina off guard.
“I do.”
“Just watch yourself. These Romania men are known to be possessive and territorial.”
“You are not Romania, therefore, where did you hear such nonsense from.”
“I have eyes and ears.”

Good Spirits
I am in love with a ghost,
I feel her in gusts of wind,
In echos.
She’s no louder than a whisper,
Flickering in the light of a candle,
Dancing like the flame.
I ask her to stay just a little longer,
She smiles,
It’s a sad smile.
I watch her slowly dissipate,
Gone in a flash,
The candle goes out.
Perhaps I cannot complain,
I’m the fool really,
For falling in love with a ghost.
I feel her in gusts of wind,
In echos.
She’s no louder than a whisper,
Flickering in the light of a candle,
Dancing like the flame.
I ask her to stay just a little longer,
She smiles,
It’s a sad smile.
I watch her slowly dissipate,
Gone in a flash,
The candle goes out.
Perhaps I cannot complain,
I’m the fool really,
For falling in love with a ghost.

Parched
Satiate my
Thirst
Replace it
With a
Hunger
A lust
Skin deep
I can
Bear the
Hunger
I cannot
Bear the
Longing
I cannot
Claw it
Out of
My veins
I can
Sleep to
Escape the
Hunger
But
When I
Sleep
I still
Dream
Of
You
I know
You’ve let
Me go
But I
Still
Feel
You
There
Thirst
Replace it
With a
Hunger
A lust
Skin deep
I can
Bear the
Hunger
I cannot
Bear the
Longing
I cannot
Claw it
Out of
My veins
I can
Sleep to
Escape the
Hunger
But
When I
Sleep
I still
Dream
Of
You
I know
You’ve let
Me go
But I
Still
Feel
You
There

A Conversation Under the Fireworks
Hey, I was wondering if you wanna watch the fireworks with me?
Oh, on the roof?
Yeah!
Uh yeah, sure. Just give me a sec..
You know, I haven’t watched fireworks since I left home.. It’s kinda sad..
We don’t have to!
No, no I want to. Just, feels kinda weird. I’m glad I’m doing it though, especially with you.
There’s no one I’d rather do it with.
Oh look! There’s one!
Yeah..
Man, I wish I brought my glasses, I can hardly see them! Ooh is that a green one?!
That’s...

don't let go
Your fingers letting go of mine
feels like the worst kind of nostalgia
setting off the pleasure and pain
sensors in my brain
And I used to thrive
on the misery of craving
of the drama in your words
the almost confessions
and the idea that you
could somehow someday
be mine
But I know better now
than to chase a broken heart
and I'm not looking to break
myself again
chasing lonely-hearted dreams
Your fingers letting go of mine
feels like the worst kind of nostalgia
and I hate that I love...
feels like the worst kind of nostalgia
setting off the pleasure and pain
sensors in my brain
And I used to thrive
on the misery of craving
of the drama in your words
the almost confessions
and the idea that you
could somehow someday
be mine
But I know better now
than to chase a broken heart
and I'm not looking to break
myself again
chasing lonely-hearted dreams
Your fingers letting go of mine
feels like the worst kind of nostalgia
and I hate that I love...

Unrequited
And no matter
How many stars I grab
It’s never enough for you
Isn’t it enough
That I die
Every time
I find something akin to your flame?
How many stars I grab
It’s never enough for you
Isn’t it enough
That I die
Every time
I find something akin to your flame?

this want is more ephemeral than magic
You pull me in
you pull me down
and it would be so easy
to get fucked up in you
I clench my hands
to keep from reaching
but you've already hooked me
with your smile
and I want to explode
into a sea of butterflies
at the sight of you
But I'm not that ephemeral
I'm not that self destructive
and I can't hold the dream of you
any more than I can
hold onto a dream
and inhale it like a cigarette
I want to brand my lungs
with the smoke of you
and revel in the the way ...

waiting for you in the dark
I miss you
and I want to say
come get lost in the dark with me
so we can make beautiful art
forget to breathe
and make ourselves immortal
But I don't
instead I just let us be
and imagine these conversations
we could have
if I wasn't such a coward
Because I don't have the words
to say how much
I'm scared of love
so pretend this
is as good as it gets
I pretend that your hands
aren't buried in my chest
wrenching my heart beat
into life on those days
when I want to...
and I want to say
come get lost in the dark with me

Looking good man!
Can God punish me for that?
Can HE read between the lines I draw?
Can HE hear what I truly want to say?
There are whispers behind my words,
Spoken by lips smudged in red.
They are carved into me,
They are barely audible.
If I try and wipe it from my skin,
The cut will only grow deeper.
He will smile,
HE won’t forgive.
Can everyone else see it?
Burning on my flesh and eating at my tongue.
It runs down my cheek,
It stains all of my clothing.
They told me I could be forgiven,
I...

It Is What It Is
I’m an empath,
so I feel everything.
You can say you’re fine,
but I know better.
I absorb your energy
and then I feel it,
between us,
it’s a tether..
It is what it is though, right?
You don’t have to tell me that you need help.
I already knew before you did..
I’m coming to save you from the burning building you reside in,
like you were a helpless kid.
I’ll put myself in danger, a thousand times over..
If it meant that I could have you safe and sound..
But will there be reciprocity ...
so I feel everything.
You can say you’re fine,
