The Crime of Words
If ink becomes illegal,
if words are chained and burned in the square—
what then of us, the lunatics with pens?
Would we bite the tips of our tongues
and bleed verses into our mouths,
spitting sonnets in shadows
where no ear dares linger?
Would we smuggle metaphors
in the seams of our jackets,
carve haikus into bathroom stalls
with the jagged edges of broken stars?
Would we gather under moonlight—
a cult of mad scribes,
pounding out our madness on rocks
until they crack open like truth?
They will call us...
if words are chained and burned in the square—
what then of us, the lunatics with pens?
Would we bite the tips of our tongues
and bleed verses into our mouths,
spitting sonnets in shadows
where no ear dares linger?
Would we smuggle metaphors
in the seams of our jackets,
carve haikus into bathroom stalls
with the jagged edges of broken stars?
Would we gather under moonlight—
a cult of mad scribes,
pounding out our madness on rocks
until they crack open like truth?
They will call us...

I Saw You In My Dreams Last Night...
I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SO MANY MONTHS, AND NOW I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I WAS
THE NIGHT THAT YOU BROKE EVERY TEENAGE VOW WE MADE
THE NIGHT THAT KILLED THE BOY THAT YOU ONCE CLAIMED TO LOVE
THE NIGHT THAT SAW ME RELAPSE ON EVERYTHING I COULD GET MY SHAKING HANDS ON,
THE NIGHT THAT SAW THOSE SAME HANDS END UP COVERED AND CRUSTED IN MY OWN FUCKING BLOOD..
I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN.. AND IT'S BROUGHT ME BACK TO TEARS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL JUST IN MY HEAD,
EVERY SECOND FELT SO REAL
I SWEAR TO GXD MY TOUCHSTARVED...
THE NIGHT THAT YOU BROKE EVERY TEENAGE VOW WE MADE
THE NIGHT THAT KILLED THE BOY THAT YOU ONCE CLAIMED TO LOVE
THE NIGHT THAT SAW ME RELAPSE ON EVERYTHING I COULD GET MY SHAKING HANDS ON,
THE NIGHT THAT SAW THOSE SAME HANDS END UP COVERED AND CRUSTED IN MY OWN FUCKING BLOOD..
I SAW YOU IN MY DREAMS AGAIN.. AND IT'S BROUGHT ME BACK TO TEARS BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THAT IT WAS ALL JUST IN MY HEAD,
EVERY SECOND FELT SO REAL
I SWEAR TO GXD MY TOUCHSTARVED...

Because You Are Everything...
I don’t know when I stopped breathing for myself.
Somewhere along the years,
My lungs became an echo of you,
Filling with the air you leave behind,
Sustaining me in ways I never thought I’d need.
I see you—
Not the version you show the world,
But the one you hide.
The you who sits in silence when no one is watching,
Who carries the weight of words unspoken,
And pain unshared.
I see her, and I love her.
I love her more than I can explain,
And I’m begging you: let me love her too.
Let me in.
Not because I can...
Somewhere along the years,

The you who sits in silence when no one is watching,
Who carries the weight of words unspoken,
And pain unshared.

I love her more than I can explain,
And I’m begging you: let me love her too.
Let me in.
Not because I can...

insulted rain (with Crimsin)
intrepid need insults my intelligence
and I succumb to the grief it causes
inside a raging storm of feeling
angry lust insinuates love elsewhere
such a grand feeling
to be titled so
when it usually brings devastating pain
soul stitches threatening to unravel, our love on the line
hurtful knowledge, to love is to hurt
thoughts of us, keep plaguing me
memories of days in the sun
laughing, you're my best friend
Would you recognise my true face
if you could see the scathing aura of my pain?
Or would you call...

Everyone Let Me Down
As a part of my healing journey, I want to focus on the pain that Josh and other men have caused.
Without trying to understand them or explain away their actions. I want to focus on my feelings and my feelings alone. I want me.
I want my voice to be heard, not someone else's. I want to put my needs above everyone else like they always did me.
And in doing so, I have to come terms with the fact that everyone let me down. No one could ever stay...
And I'm at the point where I realize I genuinely am in so much pain that it may take an entire lifetime...

If I Could Stay
I can feel you slipping, and I’m terrified,
Trying to hold on, but I’m paralyzed.
How do I save you when I’m breaking too?
I’m a storm, but you’re the quiet truth.
I see the weight you’re trying to bear,
And I’m afraid I’ll leave you there.
I’m just a ghost with nothing to give,
But for you, I’d learn to live.
If I could stay, I’d never leave,
I’d take your pain, make you believe.
But I’m fading fast, I’m burning out,
I can’t save you while I drown.
But still, I’d try, I swear I’d fight—
If I could stay, I’d make it...
Trying to hold on, but I’m paralyzed.
How do I save you when I’m breaking too?
I’m a storm, but you’re the quiet truth.
I see the weight you’re trying to bear,
And I’m afraid I’ll leave you there.
I’m just a ghost with nothing to give,
But for you, I’d learn to live.
If I could stay, I’d never leave,
I’d take your pain, make you believe.
But I’m fading fast, I’m burning out,
I can’t save you while I drown.
But still, I’d try, I swear I’d fight—
If I could stay, I’d make it...

Broken spirit
You were the violent storm
Ravaging the wastelands
Of my wandering soul
Did you plan my destruction
From conception of our
Ill fated entanglement
You wanted a mindless puppet
To carry out your devious deeds
While you sat by with idle hands
I was blinded by your
Seductive sensual suggestions
Hypnotized by your forked tongue
You laid waste to my
Ideas of love and the future
With one venomous bite
Now I lie here, older but wiser
Reaching out from the rubble
Waiting...
Ravaging the wastelands
Of my wandering soul
Did you plan my destruction
From conception of our
Ill fated entanglement
You wanted a mindless puppet
To carry out your devious deeds
While you sat by with idle hands
I was blinded by your
Seductive sensual suggestions
Hypnotized by your forked tongue
You laid waste to my
Ideas of love and the future
With one venomous bite
Now I lie here, older but wiser
Reaching out from the rubble
Waiting...

Tell Me..?
I see you there, in the glass again,
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...

It's time to revaluate
They say that as we get older we are supposed, to become more wiser to have learned, right from wrong. 🤔 But yet we continue, to make the same old habits become the norm, then asking ourselves what am I doing wrong. 🤨 WHY can't I find myself again within thyself the person, that I was before I changed from them to now. 🤔 Just wanting something better for my life, yet I'm still living in confusion and drama and chaos, 😮 putting my self esteem in a place that has been proven, it's not a mind game but it's I who keeps getting in the same old situations. For sure...

My Last Goodbye
I've been searching a lifetime for true love
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...

"I'm Fine"
Stepping outside to another grey sky
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm...
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?

Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm...

King Of Broken Hearts
Pieces of my past lay decaying in my castle
All the Queens are gone or dead
What was going through my head?
I turned to Jack, to whom I asked
Should I try to get her back?
He looked to me and then he said
"A pair of hearts is not a full house"
I went down to the Ace of Clubs
To partake in a drink or two
Barkeep asked "What's the matter, you?"
I shot my shot of good ol' Jack
"Should I try to get her back?
The Queen of Diamonds is crying
And she's talking like she's dying"
What comes...
All the Queens are gone or dead
What was going through my head?
I turned to Jack, to whom I asked
