Rock, Paper, Scissors and salt in the wound
At first glance you seem harmless and fragile,
but like paper you sliced me with your words.
Leaving behind and invisible mark that stings from deep within.
You appeared to be unique and wonderful,
but like a rock you weighed me down with your hands.
Causing me to drag my feet and loose my breath attempting to carry you around.
I noticed how you shined and seemed to be reliable,
but just like scissors you decieved me and cut me with your fake love.
Forcing me to and loose my trust and push people away with the fear of betrayl.
...
but like paper you sliced me with your words.
Leaving behind and invisible mark that stings from deep within.
You appeared to be unique and wonderful,
but like a rock you weighed me down with your hands.
Causing me to drag my feet and loose my breath attempting to carry you around.
I noticed how you shined and seemed to be reliable,
but just like scissors you decieved me and cut me with your fake love.
Forcing me to and loose my trust and push people away with the fear of betrayl.

Hollow eyes can see
The lies behind the words you speak
Promising infinity
Instead you're ghosting me
You molt
Shedding my love
A snaking striking, lightning bolt
This is borderline assault
I try to run
Flap my wings and fly away
But to you, killing me is fun
You used to be my sun
So now I've got bad blood
I'm gonna wash my hands of you
Drown myself in a mad flood
And drink in the sad mud
You never said-
-Goodbye; I thought we shared something
Now I have a cold bed
And a...

B*tches Bullsh*t Beautifully
how do we circle back
when the “o” in love is missing
when “vows” were just broken “vowels”
censored like curse words?
see, my innocent heart heard differently
how do we gain trust
when lies stutter like alliteration?
blinded by bye beautiful bullshit
some b*tches bullshit beautifully
how do we “like” them “as” they are
when we compare exs like similes
throw books instead of starting new chapters?
when did when start writing text messages
instead of old fashioned love letters
press...

Faking Victory
Easier it is to blame than own
There is a traitor within us all
Only as noble or criminal as
My will to answer or reject the call
Prone as I am to endorse my will to fall
Faking victory when struggle is the way we stall...
There is a traitor within us all

Betrayal doesn't come from my enemies
Cutting Samson's hair in the night
Judas coins, paid the price
Et Tu Brute
Non tocare
-with your liars dice

Betrayal of Love
I see you loving her instead of me.
Maybe it should have been me, but
You see something in her that you
Never saw in me. In the endless sea
Of love there is hate and I see what
No else sees, betrayal I see through.
Maybe it should have been me, but
You see something in her that you
Never saw in me. In the endless sea
Of love there is hate and I see what
No else sees, betrayal I see through.

Serrated Lips
Betray by way of affection
When a kiss hurts worse than a knife in the back
And was Your truest tear shed
Not the turmoil of the nail
But at the risk of loving humanity
You know first hand the pain of betrayal...
When a kiss hurts worse than a knife in the back
And was Your truest tear shed
Not the turmoil of the nail
But at the risk of loving humanity
You know first hand the pain of betrayal...

Priceless or Worthless?
My affections set on these pages
My heart in print and ignored
Faking the illusion of accomplishment
What is success in this?
I try to capture the audience
But I find no stage to platform my efforts
Just behind the scenes
I bear the flesh of this for strangers
Marketing for accolades
And hardly a penny for my thoughts
Torn between something priceless or worthless
When sentiments are self valued
And yet unappreciated
Like a beggar soliciting to be noticed
Staged on the infamy of a vacant street
At the mercy...

A flesh eating Zbetrayal
The infestation quickly spread,
bone deep it buried its eggs.
I let the decay drag your heels
to feed on strangers, their meal,
while I pushed pins behind my eyes
gnawing through the knuckles
that carry you to bed.
With rage enough
to stitch back your guilt
and sow another piece of flesh
onto your dress.
bone deep it buried its eggs.
I let the decay drag your heels
to feed on strangers, their meal,
while I pushed pins behind my eyes
gnawing through the knuckles
that carry you to bed.
With rage enough
to stitch back your guilt
and sow another piece of flesh
onto your dress.

shadows of eve
he promised his ring
and plundered my cherry
—colonial king,
the blunder of many
unsuspecting isles
that folded their flags
to fall for his wiles,
while boldly he brags—
old serpent of eden,
false promise to eve,
not knowing her greed, in
the lust, all would grieve…

Giving Up Goes Both Ways
Copper and bile
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much
flavor my rage
rise again in my mouth
and I restrain the urge
to hurl it all at you
because it would only be air
whistling past
your narcissistic ears
Stale sweat scents the air
tells tales of broken promises
another never again
turned to just one more time
that can't be
won't ever be
just one
Hope dries up
crumbles like autumn leaves
in your hands
scatters to the wind
But you don't need us
family is tedious
and expects too much
