Compromise
Silence is your daily greeting
I shouldn’t have expected something different
Did I satisfy your usual craving?
Your eyes no longer shine even when you pay me a compliment.
I’m sick and tired of making this compromise
I can’t keep up with these mixed signals you’re sending me
You used to beam with love; now you’re as cold as ice
My life and blood are oozing out of the seams.
Take it or leave it; it’s your problem that you got bored
You keep on making the same mistake; why do you complain?
Life’s too short to stall; make your way out...

Patient Zero
As if by a vampiric bite
fresh rage transfers from brain to brain
in right cerebra fight or flight
as undead psychic virus pain;
bloodborne by iron pathogen
the right cerebra thinks it's right
to act just like an ape again
when rage will one more rage invite
like Dracula into the home
of probity, peace, and its joy...
to spread, like rabies in a foam,
or Trojan horse Greek troops deploy
when plunder is the main conceit
for rapacity and its deceit.

The Chase
Got my eye on a prize
And I won’t stop til I win it
Gonna give this shit my all:
I’m removing all competition.
I’m intoxicated,
Infatuated and some more…
So I’m gonna chase this one down,
Make sure I get her for sure.
She seems like a nice girl.
Let me pretend to be the same.
Seems like her heads on straight,
Wonder if she’ll see through my game?
Ima just tell her something good.
Ima tell her something sweet.
Ima buy her some flowers…
Maybe take her out to eat.
Mmm.
Can’t wait to get in...
And I won’t stop til I win it
Gonna give this shit my all:
I’m removing all competition.
I’m intoxicated,
Infatuated and some more…
So I’m gonna chase this one down,
Make sure I get her for sure.
She seems like a nice girl.
Let me pretend to be the same.

Wonder if she’ll see through my game?

A Mystery Exposed Silently
The things she keeps secret
Are more telling than her reveals
For in every silent moment
Bleed the spills that she conceals
Deep auburn stains betray her passions scent
Drifting through the night air while she qietly slept
Holding tight to her pale bedroom glow
That smolders 'neath her evaporating flow
She feels in dark shadows she cannot show to me
So long their tentacles will never set her free
Cast from her distant rising red sun
Encasing a bright future in a lonely dunn
I wonder if she will expose to my starved...
Are more telling than her reveals
For in every silent moment
Bleed the spills that she conceals
Deep auburn stains betray her passions scent
Drifting through the night air while she qietly slept
Holding tight to her pale bedroom glow
That smolders 'neath her evaporating flow
She feels in dark shadows she cannot show to me
So long their tentacles will never set her free
Cast from her distant rising red sun
Encasing a bright future in a lonely dunn
I wonder if she will expose to my starved...

Hold That Card
Breathe life into me; make me spill all my secrets
You’d like to hold that card as your ultimate weapon
I feel so dead, though my heat still beats; Will you share some heat?
To thaw out my frozen soul; or will you doom me to never feel whole?
You twist and turn my words and actions
Yet fail to understand why there’s a chain of reactions
You’ve lost the possibility to hold that card
I’ve regained my liberty, though I had fought hard.
You’d like to hold that card as your ultimate weapon
I feel so dead, though my heat still beats; Will you share some heat?
To thaw out my frozen soul; or will you doom me to never feel whole?
You twist and turn my words and actions
Yet fail to understand why there’s a chain of reactions
You’ve lost the possibility to hold that card
I’ve regained my liberty, though I had fought hard.

DO YOU WANT IT, DO YOU NEED IT
WHEN will you know that you will have a wonderful, thought of the romantic kind with a SENSE, of the most wonderful feelings. As it comes from that kindred spirit that flows from this figure that stands before your eyes. 👁️👁️ Yet THROUGH process of someone else mind. Reaching into the very deepness of your BODY AND SOUL, and then you will know as you will understand.That there is a difference between what you think, you have and when you have nothing, but the hurt and the fact that it will always be, deeply rooted in the process of the illusions. THAT you were...

Take Comfort
All solace is afflicted
Weighed upon by promises unfulfilled
The scale of which has been tied in place
In fear of revelation regarding the tipping point
Nor any form of baggage relinquished
That which we all too quickly set into motion
We soon all too quickly set in stone
Once it's got away from us
And ran it's course
Now calcified in the wake of coming unrest
A population idly stares between discontent.
And you?
Take comfort
There is little else for you to know
Take comfort,
and complain of it
To others...
Weighed upon by promises unfulfilled
The scale of which has been tied in place
In fear of revelation regarding the tipping point
Nor any form of baggage relinquished
That which we all too quickly set into motion
We soon all too quickly set in stone
Once it's got away from us
And ran it's course
Now calcified in the wake of coming unrest
A population idly stares between discontent.
And you?
Take comfort
There is little else for you to know
Take comfort,
and complain of it

To the Max
I’m pushing to the max, but it’s never enough
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?
My fragile sanity's the last control I refuse to relinquish.
Fate, destiny, karmic debt
They’re a bunch of lies, and you’re merely a pest
It was my stupidity that lent you that power
What should have been sweet has left a taste that’s sour.
You push me to the max, way past my limit
I say “I’ve had enough,” but you never listen
You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?
My fragile sanity's the last control I refuse to relinquish.
Fate, destiny, karmic debt
They’re a bunch of lies, and you’re merely a pest
It was my stupidity that lent you that power
What should have been sweet has left a taste that’s sour.
You push me to the max, way past my limit
I say “I’ve had enough,” but you never listen
You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...

Paris
Today, you are with the great romantics and the deadliest cynics
3482 miles from 9th street, our sweet deli on the corner
You tell me where you are, but I do not care
I have never cared, and I will be damned if I start now.
You have a purpose and you will find it amusing
You fool, you angel on the hill.
The rules of the game have not been decided
All I know is that I am the creator
and you will bend to my rules.
The bullet points are perfectly manicured and aimed to kill
Kill you, not me, of course
Because I, wonder if you know that...

The Life of an Ice Princess
The memories feel like a fake excuse
I can’t cry without thinking about you
You talk in circles around my head
And the black walls start closing in
Suffocation is more of a friend
Than you’ve ever been
I’m not who I used to be
I leave angels screaming on their knees
I wear the shadows as a crown
I make everyone cry
When I open my mouth
I laugh as glass rains on the ground
I’ll never say sorry
Because I love how it sounds
They bleed the truth
They thought I forgot about
I can only...
I can’t cry without thinking about you
You talk in circles around my head
And the black walls start closing in
Suffocation is more of a friend
Than you’ve ever been
I’m not who I used to be
I leave angels screaming on their knees
I wear the shadows as a crown
I make everyone cry
When I open my mouth
I laugh as glass rains on the ground
I’ll never say sorry
Because I love how it sounds
They bleed the truth
They thought I forgot about
I can only...
