Estranged
so.... Catch me up on your conspiracy
Tell me why lately I'm left out
I hope you didn't "let her think"
That she is what we're so mad about
I heard how you cut her hair tonight
Now suddenly it's an awkward time
As I recall last night wasn't good either
and this isn't by your design
so.... Catch me up on your conspiracy
and tell me why lately she's been coached
She seems distracted when we do talk
inconsolable when I approach
Why use our daughter to reign me in
then you'll bitch when it doesn't work as planned ...

Chasing Shadows
Endless dots of light fill a black sky.
I'm in the car, my arm on the window.
This soft breeze caresses me as endless flat planes sweep by me.
A sigh carries on the wind; its words a spell that conjures forth dreams from the nebulous mists of the past.
Somewhere in those mists, you wait for me, not as a viper, but as a kind and gentle pain I would smother myself with, if I could.
I don't even know how to drive, but I'm driving westward, away from it all on this quiet road.
The guitar strings play their soft song of sorrow through the radio.
...

Just My Turn
I loved you with a devotion that ran deep,
Like rivers carving canyons through stone,
But you never looked at me with the same eyes,
Never smiled with the warmth that you reserved for him.
And every time you gazed at him, something inside me cracked,
A fragile thing splintering under the weight of a truth
I wasn’t ready to face.
I remember how I would trace the contours of your face
With my eyes, memorizing every curve, every line,
Hoping that one day, you’d turn those same eyes to me,
And see in me what I saw in you—a...

The Making of Two...The Spilting of One
Whatever thoughts your mind had
Whatever spoken words of lies you said
Whatever "I love you's" never said
Whatever cheating affairs you bed
...

Broken Heartbeats
Treacherous is treading upon dark waters that run deep.
Clandestine currents, privy of depths...
spinning the blender funnel
A dog paddle of survival of the loyal kind.
For eyes lie & love is blind. ...

Band-aids
I try to heal the wound you left behind
by dating someone else
But all I'm doing is hurting myself
When I look at him I just wish he was you
There are so many things that I can't do
I can't kiss anyone who isn't you
I almost throw up every time I do
They are all just band-aids that I used
Trying to cover the wound left by you
Everyone keeps telling me
Don't throw up grow up
Let him go
Move on
But I can't just wait for another band-aid
to come along
Band-aids don't last forever
Only...

Killer Queen
There was this girl,the fairest of them all.
Boys would swoon and begin to fall.
And all the girls wanted to be her.
They say she wandered the halls.
Students gossiping,hiding behind walls.
When the silence fell once again,all eyes on her.
She went through this every single day.
She just wanted to be understood and keep the insecurities away.
People would whisper from far away.
As she walked down the hallway astray.
But behind those emerald colored eyes.
There was something deep down,something wise.
...

Moonlit Rationale
In the moonlit haze, the argument unfolds,
Their words like daggers, stories untold.
He sneers with disdain, his voice like a knife,
"Pussy and mouth are all you've got in this life."
She fires back, eyes fierce and bright,
Her sharp retorts cut through the night.
"You think you're a god in the bedroom’s light?
Let’s break it down, expose your plight."
Missionary, he thinks he’s grand,
But his weight is too much, hard to stand.
He grunts and sweats, believing he's strong,
But she just lies there, praying...

I can’t stop how I feel
I stare at your pictures for hours on end, dreaming and fantasizing of holding you close. I imagine the feeling of my hands on your bare skin, just being with you, feeling the warmth of your embrace. But I know it’ll never happen because I blew it with us, and that realization pierces through me like a knife. Still, I can’t stop myself from fantasizing. I think about you for hours, losing track of time in a whirlwind of impossible dreams, until reality crashes down on me and I remember that these scenarios will never come to be.
You’re so beautiful, so funny, and every time I see...
You’re so beautiful, so funny, and every time I see...

Hope
Hope is a beautiful thing
It helps us through the hardest times
It helps to ease the pain
It gives us life
It brings the light
It's what gives us the strength to survive
But than you gave me hope...
Hope is a terrible thing
It can be crushed with just a few words
There is no way to describe how badly hope being crushed hurts
It's like a knife twisting inside of you
the hope spills out with your blood
You try to pull the knife out but the damage is already done
...
It helps us through the hardest times
It helps to ease the pain
It gives us life
It brings the light
It's what gives us the strength to survive
But than you gave me hope...
Hope is a terrible thing
It can be crushed with just a few words
There is no way to describe how badly hope being crushed hurts
It's like a knife twisting inside of you
the hope spills out with your blood
You try to pull the knife out but the damage is already done
