Think
A coincidence, I don’t think so
Feelings comin’ back, one by one.
One glance at me now,
Please, don’t you dare look down
I was wrong.
Yeah I’ve been walkin’ ‘round in circles,
Around you boy, repeatin’ my thoughts, yeah.
Everythin’ that I knew of my heart,
Is still breakin’ for you babe.
But always I think about you,
And I always think about you
Baby I’ll think about you
You might think I’m just a joke
What I did to you, wasn’t though
And I’m used to it all by...
Feelings comin’ back, one by one.

Fifty years married and forty five of them divorced!
By Stanley Collymore
Sociologists and statisticians might be rather
amused by the information volunteered to
them and even take a designated interest
in this exceptionally detailed and now
related marital outcome, but it’s
also extremely unlikely, even within
the proverbial thoughtful and pensively
engaged in moment of sombre reflexion
that it would realistically grab
the complete attention of far less so
seriously encourage anyone else’s
enthusiastic curiosity or general
conjecture, with regard to this ...

Unsent Letter
I have to write this with a clear heart
And head. I just wanted a fresh start
Miles away from where we met and
Fell in love. I never could understand
How one person who always had my
Heart could be the one to have me cry
Because as I tried to believe in us you
Were shutting down and carried too
Much weight on your shoulders. Even
When I was walking away on uneven
Ground as my balance was slipping
Fast, my eyes were still dripping
With tears of the final goodbye. I just
Knew I tried to move on...

With tears of the final goodbye. I just

Time To Let Go
I've been so depressed I haven't been eating.
How do I stop these feelings from repeating?
You know I'm not happy, but refuse to go.
Do I have to be mean just to let you know?
Do I have to drop everything and just walk out?
You can't answer my questions. What's that about?
Is it because you know that you truly don't care anymore?
What are we doing even standing here still fighting for?
What happened to all of the feelings you had for me?
Was everything just simply fake and make believe?
We both know that this isn't the...

The Escape Gene
Don't blame yourself dear, you never stood a chance.
My mother taught me early on just how to leave men.
Dinner table war games. Emotional charades.
House up in flames.
Bags pre packed for her late night escapes.
She taught me all the best ways to run from you.
Drenching myself in manic disposition;
and watching how your eyes glisten
from shards of broken glass
left scattered across your kitchen.
Sudden uncertainty washing over the 'I love you's',
Empty dining seats; my eyes resembling dark streets.
When every mood...

Changes (instrumental by Krystaleyez)
You say you want me to change
But I do not think I can
Think again and you take it back
Still miss the chance that you think we had
Same life, new phase
I do this while you chase
New heights in the same space
I move twice while you wait
Thought about it and thought about you
Everything I thought it all came true
Know I nodded and I acknowledge
I put us through hell in the worst ways
No more digging our graves
Pick it all up, feels great to say this
And I won't let you get in my way
Empty enough...
But I do not think I can

I put us through hell in the worst ways

Skeleton Garden
You tell me misery loves company.
But then why does my heart beg for solitude every time
you pick apart my empty bones?
I used to know what you were searching for.
It was buried in the garden of roses inside my skull.
But now there's but a black-hole where it once lie.
Determined though, you chisel away at me.
Yet to have a moment where you like what's uncovered.
And I'm sorry my soul isn't a place of comfort.
Yours doesn't quite feel like home itself.
But then why does my heart beg for solitude every time
you pick apart my empty bones?
I used to know what you were searching for.
It was buried in the garden of roses inside my skull.
But now there's but a black-hole where it once lie.
Determined though, you chisel away at me.
Yet to have a moment where you like what's uncovered.
And I'm sorry my soul isn't a place of comfort.
Yours doesn't quite feel like home itself.

Winter's Arms
Remnants of dreams lie scattered shards
Like the hoar frost hard upon the yard
***
I seek the solice of Winter’s arms for my dreams have all fallen as autumn leaves
Which now lie brittle and muddied on the ground…and the frost, it comes.
The morning air hangs heavy, a white mist before my face
And cold the air within my lungs
As the clutch of hope that dreams should die
Within my heart…and cold.
And cold the wind which swirls amid branches
Naked and reaching…
...For what?
Heavenward?
In...
Like the hoar frost hard upon the yard

I seek the solice of Winter’s arms for my dreams have all fallen as autumn leaves
Which now lie brittle and muddied on the ground…and the frost, it comes.
The morning air hangs heavy, a white mist before my face
And cold the air within my lungs
As the clutch of hope that dreams should die
Within my heart…and cold.
And cold the wind which swirls amid branches
Naked and reaching…
...For what?

The other side of things
Looking back, our hollows
became a sink-hole.
Your lipstick sealed
it's smile with melted wax, held straight
even from a sideways glance.
On rainy days we could pull the grey
from our blue, those days I knew
the curl of your lip without looking.
Things only move down in here,
mouths are filled with dirt,
faded old boxes, moldy with memories
slide away unseen. sounds smash insults
just to be heard, ground is given away.
But every good sink-hole is an hour glass,
if you hold your breath
the narrowing will...
became a sink-hole.
Your lipstick sealed
it's smile with melted wax, held straight
even from a sideways glance.
On rainy days we could pull the grey
from our blue, those days I knew
the curl of your lip without looking.
Things only move down in here,
mouths are filled with dirt,
faded old boxes, moldy with memories
slide away unseen. sounds smash insults
just to be heard, ground is given away.
But every good sink-hole is an hour glass,
if you hold your breath
the narrowing will...

Untitled
Late in the afternoon
she sits with me
trapped in the corner’s shadows
a memory that comes and goes
light hair unlike my own
dark eyes that mourn the absence between us
her life a task of waiting she did not choose
The light shines through her body
her eyes fill with tears
but still she says nothing
nothing at all
She waits until the sun disappears
and then she goes
taking my heart with her
leaving a silent space no words can fill
My love
the one I’ll never have
who calls to me
so...

The Takeover
My conscience is no longer mine since she fucked with my mind
I have no sense of self, I have no concept of time
The fabric of my dreams are interwoven with her
I can't help it but calmed emotions begin to stir
There she appears as a goddess as if out of nowheres
Hair cascading over her shoulders, mound covered with the same hair
The last time that I saw her, she was sporting shorts with a cameltoe down there
But now as I watched, I could see my name I Is Me appear
Carefully trimmed in , she must have taken her time and did it
My dream...
