Forget You Knot
Oh how I do try
you know
to break loose
move on
Leave you fully behind
all that hurts
all that wounds
but your scarring is left still
Yet I breathe in most deep
the cool of morning
twilight's pinkest hope
as if I can now cope
Knowing it's a must
needing again to trust
to open up
that which remains clenched
But how does a rose
rise
pry open her petals
so black and trampled shut
...
you know
to break loose
move on
Leave you fully behind
all that hurts
all that wounds
but your scarring is left still
Yet I breathe in most deep
the cool of morning
twilight's pinkest hope
as if I can now cope
Knowing it's a must
needing again to trust
to open up
that which remains clenched
But how does a rose
rise
pry open her petals
so black and trampled shut
...

Into Quietness
The misty, whispering rain starts to fall
as I trace my finger against
the cold glass, following a drop.
The irregular starts and stops
making the task cumbersome,
finally falling quicker than
I could ever anticipate.
The distraction dissolves in seconds,
my thoughts being consumed
by time once again.
Time.
I was to mend in time.
I tried to escape,
tried to restrain my pen into quietness,
to hide it from his face,
to erase him from its reach...
...

and was i ever
in love at all?
a lie is the quickest poison
i have no antidote; i have no path back to you
it took five bricks
pulled from your wall
thrown with increasing ferocity
to break your window: i have a bad habit
of not asking questions i don't want to know
i already know the answer to
honesty is just another flavour of dopamine
but not your favourite
a lie is the quickest poison
i have no antidote; i have no path back to you
it took five bricks
pulled from your wall
thrown with increasing ferocity
to break your window: i have a bad habit
of not asking questions i don't want to know
i already know the answer to
honesty is just another flavour of dopamine
but not your favourite

Coffee
Rich deep brown eyes like swirling tide pools of the richest deepest cup of coffee
Dark wavy hair surrounding her face and cascading down over her shoulder
The perfect lover or foe, equally matched in the bed or punching each other's buttons
We proved to each other we could make nothing out of something or something out of nothing
The intensity with which she looked into my eyes
I swear that she saw every emotion and identified every lie
The way that she slightly turning her head as if in thought
The way that she pursed her lips when another lie...
Dark wavy hair surrounding her face and cascading down over her shoulder
The perfect lover or foe, equally matched in the bed or punching each other's buttons
We proved to each other we could make nothing out of something or something out of nothing
The intensity with which she looked into my eyes
I swear that she saw every emotion and identified every lie
The way that she slightly turning her head as if in thought
The way that she pursed her lips when another lie...

The death of a dream
The key to unlocking me was buried long ago, interred in the ground with my heart.
The once exuberant, vibrant, giggling girl is replaced with ashes.
Speak softly, walk lightly, you will never be noticed.
I traipse through life never feeling, feeling everything.
Looking through eyes with blinders, scared to see what is looking back at me.
Soul corrupted and crippled, hidden behind a façade of indifference.
Always running from someone or something,
Never really escaping anything because you are running from yourself. ...
The once exuberant, vibrant, giggling girl is replaced with ashes.
Speak softly, walk lightly, you will never be noticed.

Always running from someone or something,
Never really escaping anything because you are running from yourself. ...

Cold Eyes
I’m so sick of being attached to people who obviously don’t give a fuck about me”
But you didn’t bother to correct me Cold Eyes choking me by the smoke of your cigarette that i pretend i don’t mind
And then i was gone in the labyrinth of my ribcage
chewing on the bars ripping out innards ravenous abandonment
rejection throwing haphazard bones onto your living room floor
The child i was feraled from her dwelling
A heathen cured in bile the parasite leaching her way into control
Retching all the way up my throat to the bar lights...

The tale of scar
Hath the fields shine
bright at midnight,
and those shooting
stars reminiscent of
dark in dawns'
rising sun,
rivers of tulips
and barley corn.
trails of old oak
seeds beneath
muddied feet,
listen,
in the distance
snowflakes glisten
in tides of white,
swept ashore
are those pond
fish covered in
ice.
bright at midnight,
and those shooting
stars reminiscent of
dark in dawns'
rising sun,

and barley corn.
trails of old oak
seeds beneath
muddied feet,
listen,

snowflakes glisten
in tides of white,
swept ashore
are those pond
fish covered in
ice.

Wasted time
Years; that's the time
that I've wasted-
Wasted on searching for
something that no one else can
help me find.
The time that I've wasted
is time never replaced-
Almost sickening
Like a slap in the face
From one man to another-
One week to the other,
All I hear is the ticking
Of my souls clock...
From the edge of the razor,
To the scars of the cut,
Damn, how the hell did I
Get myself into this rut?...
My cries and screams
Obviously muted,
Alone in this prison...
So...
that I've wasted-
Wasted on searching for
something that no one else can
help me find.
The time that I've wasted
is time never replaced-
Almost sickening
Like a slap in the face
From one man to another-
One week to the other,
All I hear is the ticking
Of my souls clock...
From the edge of the razor,
To the scars of the cut,
Damn, how the hell did I
Get myself into this rut?...
My cries and screams
Obviously muted,
Alone in this prison...
So...

Lost
I know what it is to die
And lie in one of the unmarked graves of life
No prize
No glory
No honor gained
To stand mute before the butcher’s blow
Then smile and say
“It’s alright.”
As he lands the fatal strike
None come to see you
Lying bloody and broken in the Shambles
The stench of it lies outside the city wall
Far from the fairest of ladies
And far from any feeling at all
I worked 8 hours today
I am a good drone
I know every move by rote
Reflex is good
You don’t have to think
I can’t think ...
And lie in one of the unmarked graves of life
No prize
No glory
No honor gained
To stand mute before the butcher’s blow
Then smile and say
“It’s alright.”
As he lands the fatal strike
None come to see you
Lying bloody and broken in the Shambles
The stench of it lies outside the city wall
Far from the fairest of ladies
And far from any feeling at all
I worked 8 hours today
I am a good drone
I know every move by rote
Reflex is good
You don’t have to think
I can’t think ...

The Price
What’s wrong with me?
Every time I see your face
My heart starts beating
All over the place
I can’t stop these feelings
These emotions you ignite
Even though you hurt me
I still hate it when we fight
The pain that’s in my heart
The things I’ll never say
I guess it’s true you know
There’s always a price to pay
Well, this is my price...
A pain that cuts so deep
Making me afraid
That I’ll never be complete
Tears hidden in my eyes
A broken heart that barely works
Sadly that doesn’t even
Dent the list of...
