Sacrifice
You've stolen the sparkle from my eye.
Taken the fluttering from my heart.
You've rendered my love so useless.
And tore my whole world
apart.
But now I've gotten a new
girl.
An another new friend with a
plan.
She's whiskey in a bottle,
He's sleeping pills in my
hand.
So heres a drink to you girl,
With some pills from my
Friend.
I loved you from the very start,
And ill love you till the end.
And yet another drink to you,
With more pills from my hand.
The gift that you both...
Taken the fluttering from my heart.
You've rendered my love so useless.
And tore my whole world
apart.
But now I've gotten a new
girl.
An another new friend with a
plan.
She's whiskey in a bottle,
He's sleeping pills in my
hand.
So heres a drink to you girl,
With some pills from my
Friend.
I loved you from the very start,
And ill love you till the end.
And yet another drink to you,
With more pills from my hand.
The gift that you both...

Modern times
Adverts interrupt my favourite songs
People seem to make right of what's clearly so wrong
A world so level became uneven
The word of God dismissed by a heathen
Racial hate created in the media
The wealthy of the world investing in harmful bacteria
Food created in a lab by some scientist
Now people think you are crazy if you are a pacifist
Soon all the poets will be charged for all the words and their rhymes
This is what it's like living in modern times
People seem to make right of what's clearly so wrong
A world so level became uneven
The word of God dismissed by a heathen
Racial hate created in the media
The wealthy of the world investing in harmful bacteria
Food created in a lab by some scientist
Now people think you are crazy if you are a pacifist
Soon all the poets will be charged for all the words and their rhymes
This is what it's like living in modern times

Thriller
Dead, buried, decayed,
even your ghoul had vanished.
Loved, lost and long gone
Ah but in the night,
tricks and treats bang down my door
and the haunt begins
Your coffin opens,
I dance with your pretty ghost
Such a pretty ghost
My perfect thriller
You give me bones to embrace
and mold on your kiss
Then come dawn you’re gone
and I’m grave digging again
Kill. Bury. Repeat.
even your ghoul had vanished.
Loved, lost and long gone
Ah but in the night,
tricks and treats bang down my door
and the haunt begins
Your coffin opens,
I dance with your pretty ghost
Such a pretty ghost
My perfect thriller
You give me bones to embrace
and mold on your kiss
Then come dawn you’re gone
and I’m grave digging again
Kill. Bury. Repeat.

Why Don't You Love Me
You are the apple of my eye. I adore you beyond words, but my heart you defy. I cherish your being, but all you do is make me cry. Why don't you love me? I don't know why.
I support you in every way, and through all of the the bad times, by your side I remained; but you could care less and regardless of my affection, it is my patience you continue to test. You stress me out and make me sigh. Why don't you love me? I want to know why.
I've sacrificed for you and given you countless chances for you to undo the pain you've caused; but all you've done is berate me and hold...

Geometric Love
Let's count from one to ten,
And then, we will forget it all.
Negativity,
It is the first thing we feel,
When we meet for the first time,
Look at each other.
Positivity,
It is the thought we recall,
As the days befall and we are,
Closer to each other.
Relationship, such a beautiful thing,
And we have been craving so long,
To find someone.
Love, this feeling from other world,
We come close in search of and us,
Our feelings are one.
Straight line, represents our love,
Untangled and pure, our...
And then, we will forget it all.

love is like a box of chocolates...
you know girl
whatever you want to give me
that's cool with me
you want to give me this much
or that much
whatever much you want to give me
i'll take it
because i don't know love
never had love
never felt love
truly
don't know what love is
so i'll take whatever you want to give...
even if it's the last piece in the box
whatever you want to give me
that's cool with me
you want to give me this much
or that much
whatever much you want to give me
i'll take it
because i don't know love
never had love
never felt love
truly
don't know what love is
so i'll take whatever you want to give...
even if it's the last piece in the box

Perfect nightmare
Here they come
into my perfect castle,
eating up the walls of clay.
Digging into it
with teeth and muscle,
making holes with
sharpened nails.
The dark night
predators
in shiny armor
are coming deep
inside of me.
And now
they're stealing
all my power,
taking everything
I have to give.
But it's their eyes
that's magnetizing
and their voices
hypnotizing,
I don't dare
to wake up
from this
perfect nightmare
into my perfect castle,
eating up the walls of clay.
Digging into it
with teeth and muscle,
making holes with
sharpened nails.
The dark night
predators
in shiny armor
are coming deep
inside of me.
And now
they're stealing
all my power,
taking everything
I have to give.
But it's their eyes
that's magnetizing
and their voices
hypnotizing,
I don't dare
to wake up
from this
perfect nightmare

Touch & Go
Let me swim in the pool of sweet succulent perversions
Warm and comfortable with a welcoming pungent scent
Indecent enough for passersby to look away
Unlike the random victory of a lucky lottery
This unprovoked disappointment from observing strangers
Feels like a well deserved validation
As opposed to unwarranted condemnation
Honoured for the recognition of being at the forefront of such displeasure
Willing to extend another open invitation for the upcoming events
Humbled and grateful for the loyal support
Infuriated by triumphant opportune...

Unknown to Me
Unknown’ to Me,
'She' writhes beneath My skin.
I exhale Her with ev’ry breath.
She is the heat within.
And when My breath returns,
it is rich with Her scent —
a perfume so effuse,
My heart, forever pent.
For to roam,
it does refuse:
it is still — biding —
and consumes abuse.
As if this hunger
shall ever subside;
as if it thirsts
just to be denied.
She is ‘unknown’ to Me.
She has kept Herself afar.
She is worth all to Me —
that 'She' that YOU are.
'She' writhes beneath My skin.
I exhale Her with ev’ry breath.
She is the heat within.
And when My breath returns,
it is rich with Her scent —
a perfume so effuse,
My heart, forever pent.
For to roam,
it does refuse:
it is still — biding —
and consumes abuse.
As if this hunger
shall ever subside;
as if it thirsts
just to be denied.
She is ‘unknown’ to Me.
She has kept Herself afar.
She is worth all to Me —
that 'She' that YOU are.

I lost
I often feel as if I am trying to remake the relationships I've lost.
I'm so desperate for the feeling of comfort provided by a world unchanging.
But my world has changed. The world often does that. Now that I am left alone and craving something to fill the lonely cavern inside, I rush to make friends. I push too fast, and when they don't react the way I decided, I pull so far away that I can't even remember their names. I crave the past, but the past can't be replicated. I often find myself daydreaming, wondering what these past years would've been like if I hadn't moved. If I was...

Invisible thief
Her flowers were cool
Like the soft morning dew
But now they don't bloom anymore
The light in her eyes
Burned bright in the sky
But now they don't burn anymore
Her garden grew tall
Deep into the fall
But now it don't grow anymore
Her love always shone
And though it's not gone
It's harder to shine anymore
A sweet angel from Heaven
Who would give all she was given
But don't know what to give anymore
Everytime that I leave
Returns the invisible thief
To steal her memories
...
