The Lonliness
The loneliness
It grabs at my heart
The loneliness
An affair from the start
The loneliness
You pulled me in
The loneliness
I'm your broken sin
The loneliness
I hope and pray
The loneliness
You made me pay
Chorus
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Never knew how to be strong
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm no hero till I'm gone
You took me in
You gave me a pen
You showed me your bed
You gave me head
You fed me your food ...
It grabs at my heart
The loneliness
An affair from the start
The loneliness
You pulled me in
The loneliness
I'm your broken sin
The loneliness
I hope and pray
The loneliness
You made me pay
Chorus
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
Never knew how to be strong
I was wrong, wrong, wrong
I'm no hero till I'm gone
You took me in
You gave me a pen
You showed me your bed
You gave me head
You fed me your food ...

What Am I Waiting For?
Waiting for someone,
Who doesn't talk.
Hiding behind,
Writer's block.
I'll brew you up,
Like chicken stock.
I'll be waiting for you;
Watching the clock.
If clocks could watch,
And watches can clock....
I'd add them to my,
Wifi Hotspot.
Open to the public.
I kid you not.
Unfamiliar faces,
And connecting the dots.
I know you well,
But I don't know your thoughts.
Just expressions of strangers,
While I'm on the clock.
You hide in my mind,
As I carefully...
Who doesn't talk.
Hiding behind,
Writer's block.
I'll brew you up,
Like chicken stock.
I'll be waiting for you;
Watching the clock.
If clocks could watch,
And watches can clock....
I'd add them to my,
Wifi Hotspot.
Open to the public.
I kid you not.
Unfamiliar faces,
And connecting the dots.
I know you well,
But I don't know your thoughts.
Just expressions of strangers,
While I'm on the clock.
You hide in my mind,
As I carefully...

A Hymn From the Hollow
I dreamed I was whole once—
or something stitched from ash,
fingers tracing hollow names
down walls that never asked.
She moves beneath the skin,
a hymn behind my tongue,
whispers wrapped in copper wire—
"Stay... stay... come undone."
Am I still breathing—
or just the echo of her touch?
Carved beneath the surface,
a husk in love with rust.
Veins blooming through stone,
her voice in every crack,
the crows call out in distant tongues—
I know she's pulling me back.
I wear her weight...
or something stitched from ash,
fingers tracing hollow names
down walls that never asked.
She moves beneath the skin,
a hymn behind my tongue,
whispers wrapped in copper wire—
"Stay... stay... come undone."
Am I still breathing—
or just the echo of her touch?
Carved beneath the surface,
a husk in love with rust.
Veins blooming through stone,
her voice in every crack,
the crows call out in distant tongues—
I know she's pulling me back.
I wear her weight...

Lost In The Echo Chamber
I heard it once before
I heard it again and again
From my favorite shows
And on Facebook from my friends
Intelligent older white men
Dressed in nice expensive suits
It all makes so much sense
Even though this isn't news
They tell me what to think
They explain it really well
It's definitely legitimate
I...

Abuse
There are worse things,
than caring about what you think.
Like feeling like dying everyday,
Or going months without sleep.
Listen to my phone.
Can you hear me moan?
I know I'm not alone.
Staring blankly in my home.
I hope that when I smile,
It makes you happy for a while.
Because I never get to see you,
I only get to tease you.
I hope that all your friends,
Understand why I hate them.
Always trying to blend in,
While I constantly miss him.

Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...

Only You
I move unseen through this world—
a ghost stitched from failed prayers,
fading beneath every glance
that never lingers.
They pass through me—
shapes without meaning,
faces carved from glass.
Not one would know if I vanished—
not one would care to.
But you—
you linger in the static,
soft and constant—
a presence just beneath the skin.
You don't speak of love,
yet you fill the silence
where love should be.
You never reach for me—
never promise warmth—
but you stay.
And isn't that...
a ghost stitched from failed prayers,
fading beneath every glance
that never lingers.
They pass through me—
shapes without meaning,
faces carved from glass.
Not one would know if I vanished—
not one would care to.
But you—
you linger in the static,
soft and constant—
a presence just beneath the skin.
You don't speak of love,
yet you fill the silence
where love should be.
You never reach for me—
never promise warmth—
but you stay.
And isn't that...

Glistening canvas
At last, the blues return,
In spite of the sultry surroundings.
The rays of the sun do not reach me,
Distant echoes, unfamiliar—
Merely the maddening pounding.
The pounding plagues my hearing,
Since it caged me in these blues.
Merely that last summer,
They introduced me to my doom.
Now, a glistening, pristine canvas—my eyes are set upon.
Warmth, a withdrawal, for the heat is foreign.
I kept staring at the sun till it bids farewell,
Only to rise again at dawn.
Blinding promises invite me outside.
They seek...
In spite of the sultry surroundings.
The rays of the sun do not reach me,
Distant echoes, unfamiliar—
Merely the maddening pounding.
The pounding plagues my hearing,
Since it caged me in these blues.
Merely that last summer,
They introduced me to my doom.
Now, a glistening, pristine canvas—my eyes are set upon.
Warmth, a withdrawal, for the heat is foreign.
I kept staring at the sun till it bids farewell,
Only to rise again at dawn.
Blinding promises invite me outside.
They seek...

Missing…
I miss having the space in my mind
To pretend that
You still love me,
Want me, need me,
desire me with unrelenting passion
I miss that sweet oblivion
where it still seemed possible…
Yet, I cannot deny the truth-seeking
part of me…
I just didn’t want THIS to be the truth I’d find
Maybe I am doomed
to forever be lonely,
Missing…
To pretend that
You still love me,
Want me, need me,
desire me with unrelenting passion
I miss that sweet oblivion
where it still seemed possible…
Yet, I cannot deny the truth-seeking
part of me…
I just didn’t want THIS to be the truth I’d find
Maybe I am doomed
to forever be lonely,
Missing…

A Mouth Full of Blood
You came to me in broken bloom,
hips wrapped in gauze,
eyes black as static skies.
Every word was a wound —
sweet, splitting —
a hymn half-swallowed in the throat.
You dragged your name across my teeth —
slow, deliberate —
tasting the ache you left behind.
I wore your hunger like a wire around my neck,
praying to the rhythm
of hands pressed beneath velvet night.
Would you build a kingdom from this ruin?
Would you carve me clean —
tongue to bone —
or leave me here,
singing you into the cracks of forever?
hips wrapped in gauze,
eyes black as static skies.
Every word was a wound —
sweet, splitting —
a hymn half-swallowed in the throat.
You dragged your name across my teeth —
slow, deliberate —
tasting the ache you left behind.
I wore your hunger like a wire around my neck,
praying to the rhythm
of hands pressed beneath velvet night.
Would you build a kingdom from this ruin?
Would you carve me clean —
tongue to bone —
or leave me here,
singing you into the cracks of forever?
