Love's Madness
I don't want to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go
Still I'm trapped in this madness
With no place to go

Saying Farewell
At the end of the day the bell rings.
You pick up all of your things.
Rushing out to say goodbye.
Trying hard not to cry.
Looking at me with your piercing gaze.
That puts me in quite a daze.
With a softness I clearly see.
Extending your hand out to me.
Nothing between us but silence.
Making me feel all tense.
Eventually my fingers reach your palm.
Unsure of how to keep my calm.
I felt the sterness in your shake.
A strong feeling that won't break.
So much energy and power.
In our final hour.
The last thing you say...
You pick up all of your things.
Rushing out to say goodbye.
Trying hard not to cry.
Looking at me with your piercing gaze.
That puts me in quite a daze.
With a softness I clearly see.
Extending your hand out to me.
Nothing between us but silence.
Making me feel all tense.
Eventually my fingers reach your palm.
Unsure of how to keep my calm.
I felt the sterness in your shake.
A strong feeling that won't break.
So much energy and power.
In our final hour.
The last thing you say...

Grind
Stuck in the grind
Getting pulled side to side
Hope something gives
Already used all the tricks
Barely even old
Cold sweats to the bone
Take it how it comes
Don’t get your head spun.
Still got so long
Don’t know right from wrong
Never knew a home
Don’t know where I belong
Gotta stay on the hunt
Can’t say that it’s fun
The grind’s got me down
And I’ll spread it all around.
Getting pulled side to side
Hope something gives
Already used all the tricks
Barely even old
Cold sweats to the bone
Take it how it comes
Don’t get your head spun.
Still got so long
Don’t know right from wrong
Never knew a home
Don’t know where I belong
Gotta stay on the hunt
Can’t say that it’s fun
The grind’s got me down
And I’ll spread it all around.

Darkness
Can you see I am hurting?
My heart has been wronged.
I'm doing my best to stay strong, I never give up. I find ways to fill my cup.
But the sorrow is never really gone.
There are times when happiness comes my way, but nothing in this world was ever meant to stay.
Just because I carry it all so well, does not mean it isn't heavy. It has made me dark and fragile.
Not fragile like a wilting flower, no, fragile like a bomb, don't get it wrong.
I have become strong enough that even most demons fear me. I no longer look to escape my darkness, for I have learned...

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
...

Unsolved.
behind thick layers of sarcasm and self-mockery a living enigma hides.
with patience and care one might catch a glimpse of what resides.
only to be left more riddled than ever before.
intrigued by the interesting ways you find to shake me to my core.
with patience and care one might catch a glimpse of what resides.
only to be left more riddled than ever before.

Can Not Be Her
I can not be her....
Can not be the years of the wrath in your veins cohearsing love and rage in a breath.
I can be enough....
If only the reaches leaped to the darkest parts.
But I can not be her...
Can not be the harvester picking the fields of their fruits and roots until they are barren and nude.
I can be enough....
If only ears were open to hearing the sounds of the wolf howling to a disappearing moon.
But I can not be her...
I can not pour acid on my world and let it burn and smile at its ache.
I...
Can not be the years of the wrath in your veins cohearsing love and rage in a breath.
I can be enough....
If only the reaches leaped to the darkest parts.
But I can not be her...
Can not be the harvester picking the fields of their fruits and roots until they are barren and nude.
I can be enough....
If only ears were open to hearing the sounds of the wolf howling to a disappearing moon.

Living ghost
She walks around
Through the decaying house
That once was filled with laughter
Now things look strange
And out of place
She feels she doesn't matter
Every once in a while
Strangers come around
When they can spare the time
They'll sit and stare
And say that they care
Tell her she's looking fine
But they're just playing host
To this living ghost
Who seems to be lost in her mind
Through the decaying house
That once was filled with laughter
Now things look strange
And out of place
She feels she doesn't matter
Every once in a while
Strangers come around
When they can spare the time
They'll sit and stare
And say that they care
Tell her she's looking fine
But they're just playing host
To this living ghost
Who seems to be lost in her mind

Something I Have Done
Something I have done
This axis tilts against me
Some nimble niche in time
Their marble faces apon me
Some stoic Irish resilience
Heaven's fire and Hell's resistance
I stare at the scene
Tame behaviorists in a dream
Mad inventors go insane
Broken insects down the drain
Embarrassing
That I should embarrass you
By being me
Your majesty in entropy
Eloping
Should I elope with myself
Spirit to spit
I contradict the deficit and start a new
Should I start off being you
We all want...

Betrayal
He ran his hands over my pain, lingering over the dents and worn edges of my past. When I thought he would run away he told me I was a warrior, and I would never again have to fight another battle alone, and I never did. For every bad dream, every PTSD attack, every anxiety attack, he was at my side calming me, reasuring me I was safe with him. He had conquered what no man or psychiatrist ever had. He brought down my walls, brick by brick. He let me be raw and vulnerable. He made me feel safe. He removed my armor, piece by piece, until I was bare and unprotected; guarded only by the strength...

5:40am watching the sun come up
falling through the universe while i fall for the stars in your eyes. take me to a world that only you can see and we can fall back, back to the sky. count the silhouettes of trees and measure the distance from your hand to mine.
when the sun comes up it casts a shadow between us and we're both so afraid of the dark. the sky grows light around us yet we remain only outlines for a while more. wind your fingers through the clouds and pull, push your thumbs into the stars until you burn up or they burn out.
blink and find the sun crawling back to the sky like a dying man to the...

But Sister....
Men-
They like to see us smile
No doubt they want
Us cheerful you say
But sister-
If it isn't them
Who push us toward
A joyless state
They like to see us smile
No doubt they want
Us cheerful you say
But sister-
If it isn't them
Who push us toward
A joyless state
