You Called
You didn’t have much to say
But you tried
It’s a start
It doesn’t matter
That there’s not much time left
But you tried
It’s a start
It doesn’t matter
That there’s not much time left

Dead Alive
I am wounds sliced open, oozing with emotional infections.
Your love now a rabid bacteria inside of me.
My heart is a terrain of scabs of you.
All the places you bludgeoned me with your rusted words.
I have died a million deaths without you,
But here I am still alive.
Your love now a rabid bacteria inside of me.
My heart is a terrain of scabs of you.
All the places you bludgeoned me with your rusted words.
I have died a million deaths without you,
But here I am still alive.

Not A Rap
This is not a rap
It's not a rap
Yeah, you wanna rap
I know you wanna rap
Rap me on the head
With something you got
Lying in your toolshed
You treat me like
I'm some old hag
Then you try to use me
For a punching bag
You're the worse man
That I ever had
You wanna rap
You dirty rat
This is not a rap
We, no we don't rap
you wanna hit me
With a baseball bat
but you can't
I'm tired...

tears of the forgotten
I wept...you drank my tears
my sorrow made you drunk
you raped what was left of my feelings
then left me holding them in my hands
so little and so small
they weren't big enough to hold me up
to walk out the door
my sorrow made you drunk
you raped what was left of my feelings
then left me holding them in my hands
so little and so small
they weren't big enough to hold me up
to walk out the door

How To Disappear Completely
Darkness breathes
Like a living thing
Thrumming rib bones
Exhaling smoke
And I can smell your
Breath for days
It’s getting harder
Just to breath
I am stagnant in stale air
Visiting my hollow stare
Upon a world of pain
Of predictable delusions
I dilute my presence
As my pupils dilate
Into distant dimensions
I can’t look away
I fade
Into the shadows
And d i s a p p e a r . . .

The Crawl
it is eerie in here
creepy and alone
i'm cold as bone
dark surrounds
me swallows me
whole, eats me
from the inside
i'm on all fours
on your floor it's
too broke to fix
you're no longer
around left me to
bleed left me to
die at your feet
you watched me
fading and falling
crumble and crawl
into a deep dark hole

power of investment
he used to tell me...when it comes to love
the one least invested has the most power
I resented it at the time
it made me so angry...
...so hurt
guess that shows where I fell in our equation...
in the end...turns out he was right
truth is...love is only as real as we allow it
and not everyone has the same capacity
...translation...
...or the will
but my mushy heart will gleefully fall
regardless of how unlikely it may turn out
because I feel most alive when I'm giving
when the glow warms my entire...

used
passed from one
to another,
a gift
of torment,
she hid away
her emotions,
drugging
her memories
so she can survive,
returning
to the scene
of the crime,
she is bled
as society
passes judgement
on her,
degrading her,
she loses her will
to keep fighting,
her desire to survive.

Crocodile Tears
I can’t buy all the lies she tries to rise and amplifies
As she cries with dry eyes in some kind of disguise
Ms. Heard twists words and turds then just justifies
But on the inside you can see she feels cold as ice
We’ve all seen some bad acting but this is distracting
A lot the things she says simply don’t make sense
But an abuser will turn around and be the accuser
Gathering everyone to come to their defense
What she doesn’t understand as she takes the stand
Is that her body language tells a different story
While trying to act...

Ode to my Mother
My mother in the depths of her pain and sorrow
had a strength and tenacity that all should borrow
selfless sacrifices should be an example to follow
she was stoic to the end faithful to her vow
she endured her husband cruel blows
shielding her children from his punches
waking up with black eyes and bleeding nose
enduring the pain as she went about her chores
she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...

she was a lynch pin, holding everyone together
loving my wayward brothers even as they wandered
working in the paddy field to feed them
thatching the roofs to keep us all...
