Flicker
I saw the light break through the dark,
A trembling flame, a fragile spark.
For just a moment, I could breathe,
A fleeting dream, a chance to leave.
But shadows whispered in your voice,
And I was drowning in the choice.
Was it freedom calling me,
Or just a lie you let me see?
Let me go—
Just once, I’ll run.
Before the night
Eclipses the sun.
But your hands pull tight, I can’t escape,
A fleeting light consumed by fate.
I hear the echoes of my name,
A broken sound, a fleeting flame.
I thought I’d...
A trembling flame, a fragile spark.
For just a moment, I could breathe,
A fleeting dream, a chance to leave.
But shadows whispered in your voice,
And I was drowning in the choice.
Was it freedom calling me,
Or just a lie you let me see?
Let me go—
Just once, I’ll run.
Before the night
Eclipses the sun.
But your hands pull tight, I can’t escape,
A fleeting light consumed by fate.
I hear the echoes of my name,
A broken sound, a fleeting flame.
I thought I’d...

Reckoning
You wear the night like a second skin,
A fragile truth I can’t begin.
You took my name, you took my face,
And left me drowning in your grace.
I see you now, the lie, the cage,
The twisted love, the boundless rage.
Tell me, was it ever real?
This hollow void I let you steal?
Face me now—
Take your crown.
Do you feel it breaking down?
Take my soul,
Burn me whole.
But I won’t beg—I won’t let go.
You’re in my blood, you’re in my breath,
A silent hymn, a living death.
You whisper promises I’ve heard...
A fragile truth I can’t begin.
You took my name, you took my face,
And left me drowning in your grace.
I see you now, the lie, the cage,
The twisted love, the boundless rage.
Tell me, was it ever real?
This hollow void I let you steal?
Face me now—
Take your crown.
Do you feel it breaking down?
Take my soul,
Burn me whole.
But I won’t beg—I won’t let go.
You’re in my blood, you’re in my breath,
A silent hymn, a living death.
You whisper promises I’ve heard...

Every now and then
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
Every now and then
Burning bright
We'd slay this world
At seventeen
The future was too far away
To get in our way
But time had different ideas
Cruel to the heart
And sorrow to the soul
Tearing loose, leaving holes
Now I'm lost in the present
And you're stuck in the past
Frozen against your will
Fate forever sealed
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
So I cling to the future ...
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
Every now and then
Burning bright
We'd slay this world
At seventeen
The future was too far away
To get in our way
But time had different ideas
Cruel to the heart
And sorrow to the soul
Tearing loose, leaving holes
Now I'm lost in the present
And you're stuck in the past
Frozen against your will
Fate forever sealed
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
So I cling to the future ...

Naked Emotion
As I lay here naked on the foor, I think back to what we were. We were fun, we were free, we couldn't keep our hands to ourself.
Now I am broken by your tongue. Your words stab deeper than seraded blades. I just wanted to please you. What we had was great. Now it's gone. I am the fool I know. I gave you all that was me. You consumed.
I have no more to give. Your greedy paws your greedy jaws...you put me on a pedistool..only to point at my flaws. Im shamed, broken and alone. I was just a game, a passtime, a plaything. You made me a mockery. Now here I lay in puddled...

Calloused
Forever feeling pain
Hidden death of falling stars
Lost trust somewhere in stabbing rain
Nursing scars of a hurting heart
Truth lies within goodbyes
Decisions always ruminate to roam
Didn't recognize the cries from inside
Eternally cursed to feel alone?
Fade into moonlight and dust
Swept away in floods of delusional love
Heart's been left to fade in rust
A dying disease ridden dove
Callous feelings care no more
Protected perfectly by
A cast iron cage with no door
No longer affected by love or lies ...
Hidden death of falling stars
Lost trust somewhere in stabbing rain
Nursing scars of a hurting heart
Truth lies within goodbyes
Decisions always ruminate to roam

Swept away in floods of delusional love
Heart's been left to fade in rust
A dying disease ridden dove
Callous feelings care no more
Protected perfectly by

Hush
the silence of a falling snow
the sunrise caress of earth
the passage of clouds
an eagle soaring high above
the hush before a first kiss
your soft exhaled breath on skin
of a falling tear
in the vacuum left behind
my heart missing you
and the dreams once shared
of the life built together
silently weeping for what might have been
the sunrise caress of earth
the passage of clouds
an eagle soaring high above
the hush before a first kiss
your soft exhaled breath on skin
of a falling tear
in the vacuum left behind
my heart missing you
and the dreams once shared
of the life built together
silently weeping for what might have been

The Moment I Knew
I kept seeing that purple dinosaur ride, its teeth seething.
And then, it came- this constant thumping noise that I heard outside of my mind. From the time I had forgotten about- me humping that Scooby Doo pillow-thing.
And somehow, in that moment, I thought I knew.
That my father may have sexually abused me.
And then, the biggest scream erupted from me outside that abuse shelter, in that backyard playground, where innocence was supposed to be.
Two female facilitators came, and as I saw them, I ran to the gazebo, in the very back of the outside area as if though I was...

Forget
Forget my smile
Forget my laugh
Forget my eyes
Forget all those things you said
You loved so much about me
Forget my utterly unexplainable devotion
To every little whim of yours
Because your happiness was all I wanted, all I needed
Your desires are what I lived to fulfill
Yet it wasn't enough
So please just forget
Everything about me
And hopefully one day I'll be able
To forget about you
Forget my laugh
Forget my eyes
Forget all those things you said
You loved so much about me
Forget my utterly unexplainable devotion
To every little whim of yours
Because your happiness was all I wanted, all I needed
Your desires are what I lived to fulfill
Yet it wasn't enough
So please just forget
Everything about me
And hopefully one day I'll be able
To forget about you

A Love Story
Love ferociously.
Just don't attach.
It's attachment that causes the pain, not the love.It's the desire to own,to keep, that waters the seeds and feeds the weeds of our own discontent.Our own broken heart.
How stupid are we?
Go ahead attach, attach to anything and when detachment arrives we will ache for days,weeks, months and years.Our lives will dissolve in a torrent of tears.We couldn't see that our attachment was stronger than our love.
We are all stupid!
Love, true love, never can and never will be taken from us, even if the...

Bring you back home
Dreamed 'bout you last night
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...

Washing Machines
I saw you, in secret.
In my head we are in glad rags,
And holding hands.
The green on the knees of your skinny jeans,
Faded in the washing machine,
Me from your memory.
I cut down our oak tree by the bayou.
It was too big to fit in the trunk of my car,
So I fed it to the river.
I’m stuck in that afternoon,
When I yelled out goodbye,
But you were too far to hear me.
I’m the same now, but,
I burn my stained clothes now,
Because I'm fucking terrified-
Of washing machines.
In my head we are in glad rags,
And holding hands.
The green on the knees of your skinny jeans,
Faded in the washing machine,
Me from your memory.
I cut down our oak tree by the bayou.
It was too big to fit in the trunk of my car,
So I fed it to the river.
I’m stuck in that afternoon,
When I yelled out goodbye,
But you were too far to hear me.
I’m the same now, but,
I burn my stained clothes now,
Because I'm fucking terrified-
Of washing machines.

Lust
We melted into thick fog
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die
