When They Look You in the Eye
holding onto the dead and buried, fragile dreams he has
shattered promises love your old looks
loving hard, feeling even harder to be loved
battered child of empathy purged by the mind
remember when you knew you weren’t the same?
spending his days in a tomb of shattered mind
when you came home tonight, i knew it all too well
lending your body to the delusory, the withered
then you ask what made you, if you ever were made
notice how the skin on your back burns?
learning the ways of those who’ve come undone...
shattered promises love your old looks
loving hard, feeling even harder to be loved
battered child of empathy purged by the mind
remember when you knew you weren’t the same?
spending his days in a tomb of shattered mind
when you came home tonight, i knew it all too well
lending your body to the delusory, the withered
then you ask what made you, if you ever were made
notice how the skin on your back burns?
learning the ways of those who’ve come undone...

Upon My Skin
Apitoxin was infused
from your subtle stinger,
as if a bee left wounds
over and over,
as tokens to keep forever,
except that I died every time.
I became a smudged canvas
with haunting words,
pierced over and over,
the carved stamps within my psyche
emerging upon my skin,
so my pain could be seen.

FRACTURED ECHOES
The effects of Divorce, an shattering of vows, Altar turned graveyard and hanging brows ,
a house in silence sure beats domestic violence but the shadows and storms,
A symphony of wounds, in fractured forms.
Verbal lashes, mental bruises
Who am I in this ruin, this tangle of excuses?
Do they love me? Or was love buried beneath their war, Left to rot, splattered across the bedroom wall?
Why do they not love each other anymore?
Am I the reason for the fault lines that spread, these are my feelings that roam in my head
The cracks...

Falling to Pieces
Not sure where the fuck I have gone
Your eyelids close me out
Just gotten trampled over by your words today
I don't know who I am
Don't know where I'm coming from
Don't know where I'm going
I know that I kinda want to hate you
I'm screaming till my bones snap, but you swear you didn't even hear a whisper
I'm always left to pick up your pieces, always!
Your eyelids close me out
Just gotten trampled over by your words today
I don't know who I am
Don't know where I'm coming from
Don't know where I'm going
I know that I kinda want to hate you
I'm screaming till my bones snap, but you swear you didn't even hear a whisper
I'm always left to pick up your pieces, always!

Obsession or Devotion (is there a difference?)
I see love as an intense devotion
getting down on my knees and exclaiming:
"PLEASE KEEP ME."
With such desperation,
Like a dog begging for its last meal.
Pitiful, really.
It is so hard to picture myself as anything desired,
that my imagination can only conjure a place
where I am pleading for tolerance of my presence.
If I am to be starry-eyed
and endlessly devoted,
I pray it is for someone who deserves it.

Nudes
"Can you send me some nudes?" He asked, and I smiled.
Showing him all my silly little napkin poems I kept locked away in a wooden box.
Dust settling over the words like the old war letters grandpa used to write.
I described that time I went swimming with my friends in a thunderstorm.
The rush I felt when the jolt of lightning hit the waves, even though it made me seasick.
I stripped my words bare— down to the marrow where my deepest insecurities lie.
The pain I've been through, the devastation I've created all laid out to dry. ...

The Suicidal
The Suicidal have been strong for too long,
You see them at school the ones that are picked on,
Don't you know that words are destructive?
The Suicidal are dying their lives have been deducted,
How they feel they never say or share,
Not like it's your business not like you care,
When I look deep into the eyes of the Suicidal,
I become empathic and only wish they'd smile,
The Suicidal have been abused,
Imagine if that was me or you,
You spreaded rumors you spreaded lies,
Every few minutes one of them dies,
Easy...

No Longer Home
I wish I could forget you like a photo that
Has been torn and lost in the fire, but how
Can one throw away years of friendship
And a deep attraction? When you flat
Out told me that you would never allow
Yourself to hurt me, but you did. Like a ship
Wreck all you can do is watch and hope
For the best all the while you ruined any
Chance for redemption. The memories
Are still there, but the truth is the rope
To hold them together is frayed. As many
Months went by, there were no remedies
To the pain I was feeling or all the...

Abuse at home (Ptsd)
Home is abusive no one listens to what I say,
Lilith comes into my room and her dark melody begins to play,
My mom doesn't care about me what mother would?
I was once a nobody someone who was good,
Abuse at home I can't say anything,
Why won't anyone love me or give me a ring?
The abuse still follows me it has never faded,
I want to see a new world created,
I go down by the river and cry softly,
What's true beauty if I can't be "The Hottie"?
I don't self inflict this is a different type of infliction,
The sad stories...

My life
Haunted by something I can't see,
My life isn't the way I want it to be,
My wrists are mutilated and blood stained,
The other part of me exist on another plane,
I feel in my heart something's not right,
I don't know how to change my life,
The cold pouring rain,
Is washing away my pain,
The reflection that the mirror displays,
Taints my mind in so many ways,
My life isn't what I expected,
There's no happiness I'm deeply affected,
There's so much pain in my heart,
I just wanna be left here alone in the dark.
My life isn't the way I want it to be,
My wrists are mutilated and blood stained,

The reflection that the mirror displays,
Taints my mind in so many ways,

There's no happiness I'm deeply affected,
There's so much pain in my heart,
I just wanna be left here alone in the dark.

Indifference of Flesh
How callous my flesh is,
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell
to writhe in agony,
indifferent to their torment.
for healing itself,
indifferent to my pleas.
For abandoning my insides in hell

Empty
The difference only a few days can make
How a heart filled with love can so easily break
A voice that gave me peace and now it haunts me
A face that brightened my day and now it taunts me
With thoughts of a future that we'll never share
A dream once so beautiful is now a nightmare
The sum of my fears has come to fruition
My mind knew better but my heart wouldn't listen
Wrapped up in a fantasy, pretending it was real
Of course I knew better but I wanted to feel ...
How a heart filled with love can so easily break
A voice that gave me peace and now it haunts me
A face that brightened my day and now it taunts me
With thoughts of a future that we'll never share
A dream once so beautiful is now a nightmare
The sum of my fears has come to fruition
My mind knew better but my heart wouldn't listen
Wrapped up in a fantasy, pretending it was real
Of course I knew better but I wanted to feel ...
