It's dark under the bridge.
I will meet you at the pillars.
The crowd will disappear.
Does not matter...
I only see your torch.
Burning for me.
A beacon that cannot be ignored.
Separate journeys often lead to the same place.
Father time offering a shaky foundation.
The steps are scary...
They creak and break.
The climb is hard, the fall is worse.
You will never make it with armor.
The weight is to much to bear.
Changing into a skirt and heels.
Also too much to bear sometimes.
But even Father time notices.
He told me to change. ...
The crowd will disappear.

Changing into a skirt and heels.

When The Story Breaks
This is where we met
It used to be solid ground
And this is where we end
When no one is around
Its just me and you
And paper floating in between
In between our love
Catching fire from above
And burning down
See, I’m blaming this on your love
How it got lost
Along the way
Saying things you shouldn’t of
Losing my hands
Along the way
And every time I saw the eyes
That weren’t yours
Every time I heard the words
That bent my knees to the floor
I picked up another brick
I built up another...
It used to be solid ground
And this is where we end
When no one is around
Its just me and you
And paper floating in between
In between our love
Catching fire from above
And burning down
See, I’m blaming this on your love
How it got lost
Along the way
Saying things you shouldn’t of
Losing my hands
Along the way
And every time I saw the eyes
That weren’t yours
Every time I heard the words
That bent my knees to the floor
I picked up another brick
I built up another...

Vampire Love
You drank all the love I poured in your cup
Every bit of the dust you said you loved
You ain't even was thirsty, all you wanted is to FUCK!
You let me see just what that body does,
You're welcome for the blood, you sucked out
Vampire thirst for more of my heart's funds
Enough with the stunts
I saw you play
now my heart aches
I was warned to watch your game
but I was down pressed start
Now I got played
My bones are dry but still want more
You don't know how to live it up
I'm shooting all caps for love ...
Every bit of the dust you said you loved
You ain't even was thirsty, all you wanted is to FUCK!
You let me see just what that body does,
You're welcome for the blood, you sucked out
Vampire thirst for more of my heart's funds
Enough with the stunts
I saw you play
now my heart aches
I was warned to watch your game
but I was down pressed start
Now I got played
My bones are dry but still want more
You don't know how to live it up
I'm shooting all caps for love ...

Kitty
A playful tall tail sways back and forth
In sync like a metronome, I’m intrigued
Like a small mouse within my total reach, I paw you back and forth. A toy and its kitty.
Every once in a while I will slyly grin, and release your tail to see who will win.
My paw or your feet.
I love your small squeaks.
A toy and it’s kitty.
I know it’s rude to play with food. Food for thought, how rude is it to toy with me?
You’re well beyond your lease. Nothing in life comes free. Squatters won’t get one up on me.
So...

Unconditional Love
The goodness of being wanted,
outweighs all the badness of your actions.
With every hit I fall harder to the floor,
although i'm still here so could I be asking for more?
Curled up like a ball with hope
the ground will swallow me whole,
it's been awhile since I've felt this small.
outweighs all the badness of your actions.
With every hit I fall harder to the floor,
although i'm still here so could I be asking for more?
Curled up like a ball with hope
the ground will swallow me whole,
it's been awhile since I've felt this small.

Phoenix
What a stupid
fucking metaphor
It indicates you end;
burn alive,
and then rise
as a new creature.
So tidy.
But it indicates
you end.
Fuck that.
I’m crawling away
from the blast zone,
face covered in
tears and snot,
gasping through
the impermeable
thick, black
smoke.
My hands and
knees are shredded
from the forward
motion,
one hand,
one knee,
one hand
one knee;
not stopping for
broken glass,
twisted metal, ...

Real Friends Don't Ruin Your Life
Treated me like a bomb
you wanted to see explode...
well, if you wanted crazy
you could've just said so
I'm sweet till you make me cry
docile till you start telling lies
and I'm only good to those
who don't try to find
the smallest of flaws
to use and expose
Fuck, it's so good to be alone
no one there to watch me
like some criminal in their home
like every step was a mistake
every breath just a fight away
walking barefoot over glass
cuz they said I can't wear shoes
if I want to earn their...

Mar-a-Lago
Men drown themselves within a sea
Full of scripture and psychosis
Bequeathing all humanity
Comprehension in necrosis.
But that is not the sea for me
Nor any coral reef thereof...
Where all the swimmers disagree
On what it means to truly love...
Or what is best for all who swim,
To chop a crop of tasty kelp,
Or harvest krill by skillful skim
Whenever baleen whales need help!
I think instead I'll sit and wait
And watch the world fall apart,
Since to be great...we must hate,
Poor people trying to be smart...

Hail to The Chief
What a sweet deal a sheepskin is
For getting off liability's hook
And to convince your boss you're a whiz
At reading or writing the latest book...
For crafting a proper power point
About the essential nature of greed
Which is rarely with progress conjoint
Of what they used to call the business need,
Mostly found where the rubber meets the road
And never near any board members chair
Where agreeable toadies have tiptoed
So as not to spoil the sovereign air,
Avoided, on "Undercover Boss"...
A TV show about profit and loss.
For getting off liability's hook
And to convince your boss you're a whiz
At reading or writing the latest book...

Which is rarely with progress conjoint

Mostly found where the rubber meets the road

Where agreeable toadies have tiptoed
So as not to spoil the sovereign air,
Avoided, on "Undercover Boss"...

You f**ked me up
I spent the night before fathers day drunk this year.
It wasn't on purpose, at least I don't think so...
Either way it didn't make it hurt any less,
It just made me angry, angry that you felt like it was ok to break my heart,
You were supposed to be my first love, Daddy.
Instead you fucked me up, you fucked up my idea of love.
You showed me that love was made up of accusations and lies,
and that the only way anyone could love me was if I was submissive in every aspect.
Maybe someday I might forgive you,
But your faults are not my...

DIRSEQUENCE
DIRSEQUENCE
following directions plus finding out
there are unseen consequences when you do
You’ve been uninvited
To the future of your own lonesanity
(that’s loneliness plus insanity)
You keep telling me
You’ll forgive and take me back
Take me back?
Do you not feel, sense the
Intensilent air from me?
(that’s intense plus silent)
Do you not recall?
The things you said
The things you did
When you tried to devaluate
(that’s devastation plus retaliate)
Every piece of me
Because you...
