.
The hare and the wolf
The shame engulfed me
As I walked down the hall
They're eyes following me
Watching my every move
Can't afford to make a wrong turn
Can't show you're weak
Can't show you're scared
Cause if the truth got out
They will attack you
Like you're their prey
So I hide myself away
Tightly locked inside a cage
And though my head is held up high
My eyes could never lie
A window to my soul, they are
As I walked down the hall
They're eyes following me
Watching my every move
Can't afford to make a wrong turn
Can't show you're weak
Can't show you're scared
Cause if the truth got out
They will attack you
Like you're their prey
So I hide myself away
Tightly locked inside a cage
And though my head is held up high
My eyes could never lie
A window to my soul, they are

Pendulum
I can feel the weight of gravity,
it's pressure on my skin,
Living lifetimes in
the past and future
between the pendulums swing.
The self affacing tragedies
The comedies of youth,
The drama's in the romance
The romance in the truth.
Powerless to retain her love
it slips into the night,
Fracturing me like victorian glass,
Oblivions dark delight.

NOT IN YOUR DNA .
I’m never going to play games with your heart. I know how battered it’s been, you cry in the dark at times. It’s been kicked like a football just for fun they were never aiming for the goal but did it anyway. Hurt people hurt others.
I don’t wanna make you feel less than you are. I know words hurt just as much as a fist and that’s hard to digest it gets stuck in your throat and gives you heartburn.
I wanna ease your mimd when we talk and I’ll be honest, I don’t want you to remain in a cage of insecurity and pain. I want to set you free with loving kindness so...

Sanatorium
Florescent tube lights lead the way down such lonely halls
Listen, along hushed anxious mumbles, echoing these walls
Their greenish dronings merely soften a shadow's firm grip
Trails in asbestos tile, slates etched by trauma's deep chips
Time whispers me in aside, upon decades, feelings of truth
A dark nostalgia or subtle ageless grief, it can not soothe
Morbid satisfaction, like night cigarettes, bids me to stay
These haunted halls, lonesome, mournfully push me away
Listen, along hushed anxious mumbles, echoing these walls
Their greenish dronings merely soften a shadow's firm grip
Trails in asbestos tile, slates etched by trauma's deep chips
Time whispers me in aside, upon decades, feelings of truth

Morbid satisfaction, like night cigarettes, bids me to stay
These haunted halls, lonesome, mournfully push me away

I'm left with this saddened broken heart
And crushed as well as destroyed
Never should have loved from the start
Feeling frustrated and so annoyed
Figuring out different ways to recover
I began this adventure I'm now taking
New outlets of temptations I discovered
Adding up the mistakes I'm making
It started with constant alcohol
To erase the thoughts I would think
Even after I would stumble and fall
I would continue to drink and drink
The beer turned to hard liquor
Hoping this would do the trick
Even though it messed me...

shadow tangled vines
shadow
tangled vines
wrap themselves
around
my sleep,
delicate
breathing
coming from
my chest,
my dreams
blinking
within each
direction
and
my hands
tied,
whether this
is natural
or unnatural
occurrence,
each thought
works its
way to
the surface,
awakening
i realized
i felt
this way
every time
i thought
of you
walking away.

Between The Stars
It used to be, when we kissed
the world fell away,
hearts were full and nothing mattered
as long as we had each other,
now, we fall away,
from each other,
I’ve danced to this song before
and the tempo feels the same,
The notes feel similar,
and I hope, more than ever
that this intuition is way off….
Because the gaps between the stars
are cold when I’m alone.

it has rained (heavy here)
it has
rained heavy
here, like
little stones
at
my windows,
i will
keep myself
boarded up,
protecting
myself, finding
a comfortable
space,
and remind
myself
there is
still
some great
beauty
even during
bad storms.

Safe House
I ran away
From myself
Left all the riches
Took a one bedroom above the drug store
After they close up shop
Can blast my music all night
Maybe put a pick-up on my cello
Abstract the notion of classical
Shredding the strings beyond reason
One day I'll go back
When I've written my opus
I'll stand away from the crowd though
Never going on that fucking Today show
From myself

What a waste of time.
So much of what I do,
seems just that.
As though counting in chalk
before the rain inevitably comes;
Or as though stuck waiting
anticipating that there is something
beyond this holding-pen waiting room
yet beyond the threshold
is yet another queue,
and not the polite queue mind you.
And yet,
such lingering moments
would be a joyful eternity
if they were shared with someone
as alone can feel like forever
especially if together seems never.

Frozen in Motion
Leaden gray sky weeps
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through
Pitter patter of the rain
A chill wind bites
Lost senses, wandering gaze
People living on
Yet, here, i froze
Imprisoned within
Stuck in a loop
That strangles my breath
Its weight, oh so heavy
Making me break instead
Whispers that hold me down
Ghosts that haunt me down
Lost in my own path
Aching for a light to pierce through

Embrace the solitude
Always wanting more and never getting it
Following your heart and you keep regretting it
Leads you to disappointment and you keep letting it
Never won a hand but you keep betting it
all...taking chances hoping someone will stay true
Making excuses for every hurtful thing they do
If you love them hard enough they cant help but love you
can't love yourself so you find someone else to give it to
Putting them on a pedestal they can't help but fall from
It's so dumb
But your mind's numb
There's the beat of a drum
In your chest
For a...
