Rat poison
Learn what makes me look down
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth

Gone in Instant
What a great weekend
Our problems seemed resolved
No arguments, no fights
All the hateful words you bestowed on my ears
All had quieted by your embrace
Yes I felt like headway was made
Boy what fool I was
A set up that I was blinded from
Born again on Monday
To have you rip it all away
With no words to say
You left in that car
Only to send that text to say
Good bye , I am gone
All I gave, all I tried
I should have known better
But I had blinders over my eyes
You ripped the world apart that day
Days and...

Denying TINA
There’s no simple means to cut through,
Little common ground to meet you,
Who could blame me for this situation,
Condemn me for the forced frustration?
I’ll waste my time getting through to you
When there’s more important things to do,
But I’m a knee jerk problem solver
Shall I pull you off or knock you over?
Our spice gets crushed to canteen mash
The message lost in all the rush,
but I just need more than canned sensation.
Let’s serve the truth they fail to mention:
Tricksters challenge yet liars lure,
In...

Carcinogenic
Accuse me of an arson
Guilty's the one the tar is on
All is burned
Where's the proof
Flames cover the waily roof
Smoke grabs my throat. "Burn!"
"Your skin to the color of ash will turn"
Fire is for the stars, not the sea
You laugh as you reek of gasoline
Guilty's the one the tar is on
All is burned
Where's the proof
Flames cover the waily roof
Smoke grabs my throat. "Burn!"
"Your skin to the color of ash will turn"
Fire is for the stars, not the sea
You laugh as you reek of gasoline

Untitled
It destroys
It controls
You can never guess
What it will do
It chooses a victim
And won’t let them go
If you interfere
It will slice you in two
Like a snake
It sneaks and it spies
When it’s behind you
You can feel its eyes
With its tongue
It will cut and will bruise
It can gain an army
To make sure you lose
If you were to slice off its head
I’m sure it would grow back
For it never gives up
It refuses to quit
It lies and it cheats
And...

Robotic Parts
You’re looking away
From me
Our eyes won’t
meet
But you’re still
Looking at
Me
I see it
In the lenses
Planted in the
Hollows of my skull
This love
Is cannibalistic
And it’s
Sadistic
To call it
Love
To teach
Me to feel
And teach me
A distorted
Picture
You hold me
And say
You can’t
Feel me
But I’m
Breathing in your
Ear
Its steady
Even though I
Feel lightheaded
And breathless
I feel wilted
I am seeking ...
From me
Our eyes won’t
meet
But you’re still
Looking at
Me
I see it

This love

Leaving
Get up.
Why?
You need to go.
Why?
It won’t hold.
I can hold on..
No.
Why not?
It won’t hold you.
It doesn’t have to, I’m holding on.
NO! It won’t hold YOU.
I don’t.. understand..
I’m staying here, you’re leaving.
But we can’t split up, I need you here.
If you stay, we’ll both die.
But I need you.
I’ll go insane without you.
I’ll call, or uh.. write?
No, I can’t leave you!
You’re not leaving...
Why?
You need to go.
Why?
It won’t hold.
I can hold on..
No.
Why not?
It won’t hold you.
It doesn’t have to, I’m holding on.
NO! It won’t hold YOU.
I don’t.. understand..
I’m staying here, you’re leaving.
But we can’t split up, I need you here.
If you stay, we’ll both die.
But I need you.
I’ll go insane without you.
I’ll call, or uh.. write?
No, I can’t leave you!
You’re not leaving...

shut up
shut up, I know
I should be dancing on my own
manipulate
you know I'm afraid to be alone
I contemplate
the things I should already know
you yell, I plead
I find myself choking in your hold
it's about time you shut up
you're always picking me apart
just shut up
this game was built to break my heart
please shut up
I can't breathe when you torture me this way
What did you say?
your rigid frame betrays your lie
locked in your gaze
we're a burning fuse of dynamite
I can't recall ...
I should be dancing on my own
manipulate
you know I'm afraid to be alone
I contemplate
the things I should already know
you yell, I plead
I find myself choking in your hold
it's about time you shut up

just shut up
this game was built to break my heart
please shut up
I can't breathe when you torture me this way

your rigid frame betrays your lie

Pure Heart
You asked her out
To a fancy restaurant
And she said no
You were just a friend to her
Nothing more, nothing less
You asked her out
On a sunny beach
With red roses
And she said yes
You thought you finally had her
Yet just the other day
I caught a glimpse of her
In a dark lit bar
She was completely drunk
As she made out with another guy
And I told you what I saw
But you turned a blind eye
Because you loved her
And you still wanted to believe
She felt the same about you ...

Silent - The House Abandoned
Crazy move. Philippa back in my life. She hadn't meant to hurt me yesterday, she insisted at our hastily arranged meeting in the fields after the dress rehearsal. Aidan had emotionally blackmailed her. He'd managed to confuse her. Since then, she'd decided to end the relationship with Aidan for good because it kept going around in circles, and Aidan had already left for Exeter.
'Come on,' Philippa said, taking my arm and pulling me up from the tree trunk. 'I bought a torch with.'
It was about quarter to six in the afternoon. We located the outhouse, the one Jace and...

Roasting Marshmallows on a Dumpster Fire
The bullshit that I keep coming back to
is your declaration
that you're going out in a blaze of glory
at the hands
of two of your favorite people
Sir, it's been a distinct dishonor
to witness this glorious
pile of ash and trash
you've left in your wake
To how many have you fed
that line about who has "more of you"?
What a wonderful consolation prize
Honestly, the thing I might like best
is how you left
