All This History
I was scared and afraid, really just a kid, mostly after all the heavy shit that I did. Still tryin' to deal with it all, all these years on, all the things you said, were all just a con. Had me hook line and sinker, like walkin' home from school, getting thrown in the stinker. Spent all my time in the park, smokin' weed, talkin' shit, chillin' in The Quads after dark. Got arrested a few times, not for much, smashing a window, drunk and disorderly, knickin' a plant pot off a rabbit hutch, not much, the times were such. I know you think I'm pathetic, goin' on, same old rhetoric, blah,...

Departed
I dreamt of beginnings new and free clear of a fated past.
To break the hold of a fractured life whose condemned to ever last.
What was lingers on to haunt my nights and curse the gift of day.
By the seemingly harmless casual inflictions that are his loving ways.
I wanted so much for you to know how close we might have been.
How different our life could have become if you had let me in.
You’ve taken my flesh in ways no one has ways others won’t dare.
Each drop I savor that quenches the thirst that I can hardly bear.
You’ve taken my soul for my need is...
To break the hold of a fractured life whose condemned to ever last.
What was lingers on to haunt my nights and curse the gift of day.
By the seemingly harmless casual inflictions that are his loving ways.
I wanted so much for you to know how close we might have been.
How different our life could have become if you had let me in.
You’ve taken my flesh in ways no one has ways others won’t dare.

Beastly spiral
Why am I in my feelings?!,
I'm the one to blame!,
You're not the problem,
I'm the one that's insane,
I'm the beast that you tried to tame,
With no luck you slipped away,
Now you're the beast she tries to tame,
And I'm sorry for making you that way...
I'm the one to blame!,
You're not the problem,
I'm the one that's insane,
I'm the beast that you tried to tame,
With no luck you slipped away,
Now you're the beast she tries to tame,
And I'm sorry for making you that way...

Bye...
Hide your heart,
Lock it away and throw away the keys,
I've become exactly who I didn't wanna be.
A danger to your heart, confusion to the mind,
A soulless demon to those who are blind.
I love you but I don't want you to be mine,
I don't wanna drown you,
Suffocate your light...
My heart is one that never healed over time,
I had to let you go,
I had to say goodbye...
Lock it away and throw away the keys,
I've become exactly who I didn't wanna be.
A danger to your heart, confusion to the mind,
A soulless demon to those who are blind.
I love you but I don't want you to be mine,
I don't wanna drown you,
Suffocate your light...
My heart is one that never healed over time,
I had to let you go,
I had to say goodbye...

Agony!
I wonder if our sins could ever be forgiven,
I wonder what we did, could ever be undone.
An ineffable pain is aging inside our heart
What left behind is our time to realize!
Under the shadow of our egos, we clenched his heart,
And drowned his soul into the whirlpool of our pride.
…………………………………………………………………………
I miss him! I miss his touch over my face,
I miss the time when I felt he was so real.
I could see the stardust dropping from the sky,
When his tiny little fingers touched mine.
He enfolded our lives with happiness and joy,...
I wonder what we did, could ever be undone.
An ineffable pain is aging inside our heart
What left behind is our time to realize!
Under the shadow of our egos, we clenched his heart,
And drowned his soul into the whirlpool of our pride.
…………………………………………………………………………
I miss him! I miss his touch over my face,
I miss the time when I felt he was so real.
I could see the stardust dropping from the sky,
When his tiny little fingers touched mine.
He enfolded our lives with happiness and joy,...

True Love I Loss
In between the past and the truth
Trying to restore
The one thing dear to me
That I destroyed
Seeking forgiveness
But time still moves
I sleep
And that much more
Distance grows
Making it harder
For me to drive my stake
Into a heart
Incorrectly healed
For it still holds
An area of forgiveness
If only I choose
Like a game of chess
The right move
To put me back in position
To show this woman
How much I loved her so
And to confess my wrongs
Like a dog
I ran away
But soon found...

But time still moves

For it still holds

TIME FOR A ELEVATION OF THE MIND
The most mysterious thing about love is that it hurts deeper than one could ever really think nor believe it truly could hurt that much deep down inside of your heart soul and mind, but yet through each disappointment of what we truly though was real love only became an illusion wrap up as an disguise for the heart as well as the mind RIPPING OUT YOUR VERY SOUL OF YOUR SOULS.

You’re a snake baby
Hissin’ in my ear
Telling me don’t cry baby
There ain’t nothin’ to fear
You’re a snake baby
That’s why you do what you do
Must be lonely
For all those who love you
You’re a snake baby
Lickin’ up all my pain
Why you leave your mark on me
You ain’t my friend
You’re a snake baby
Slitherin’ in your hole
Crawlin’ in the dark after you
Lord can’t save your soul
He’s a snake baby
Ooo just a snake baby
He ain’t mean no harm
Just a snake baby ...
Hissin’ in my ear
Telling me don’t cry baby
There ain’t nothin’ to fear
You’re a snake baby
That’s why you do what you do
Must be lonely
For all those who love you
You’re a snake baby
Lickin’ up all my pain
Why you leave your mark on me
You ain’t my friend
You’re a snake baby
Slitherin’ in your hole
Crawlin’ in the dark after you
Lord can’t save your soul
He’s a snake baby
Ooo just a snake baby
He ain’t mean no harm
Just a snake baby ...

candy drift
cloying caramel
rotten-sweet defeat
for leering tongues
and hearts that long
to drift along
where they don’t belong
flagrant intoxicant
for those who want
the inelegant ruin
of the piquant moon
for far too soon
drunk spirits swoon
where foolish thirsts
insist on decadent
fulfillment
but she burns out
overnight
when the blood boils
and mornings begin
without ambition
except to cheat again
to face defeat again
and...

Abstract Love
You can't break what's already broken
You can't take back what's been spoken
Words can't heal the wounds of a heart
You can't gather the pieces of a soul ripped apart
You can't wipe away the held back tears
You can't collect the unspoken fears
Everyone hates, if you're scandalized
Nobody cares, if you're vandalized
Nobody notices my tears or my plea
Nobody noticed how I set myself free
I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Held by invisible chains, heartbreak was the key
A rough awakening to my reality
You can't take back what's been spoken
Words can't heal the wounds of a heart
You can't gather the pieces of a soul ripped apart
You can't wipe away the held back tears
You can't collect the unspoken fears
Everyone hates, if you're scandalized
Nobody cares, if you're vandalized
Nobody notices my tears or my plea
Nobody noticed how I set myself free
I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Held by invisible chains, heartbreak was the key
A rough awakening to my reality

DEAR MISERY
Dear Misery,
What do you see in me
Other than my world
Of pain and tragedy?
I'm standing at the edge and cannot back away
Screaming at the top of my voice, ragged and grave
I look to the greener fields across the abyss
But I must fall again to reach the other side
There's a ghost of myself
Fallen under a spell
Of a tomorrow there
And I can't find it here
There's a ghost of myself
That is haunting this shell
It can't find it's way out
There's no escaping now
Do you know what it is...
What do you see in me
Other than my world
Of pain and tragedy?
I'm standing at the edge and cannot back away
Screaming at the top of my voice, ragged and grave
I look to the greener fields across the abyss
But I must fall again to reach the other side
There's a ghost of myself
Fallen under a spell
Of a tomorrow there
And I can't find it here
There's a ghost of myself
That is haunting this shell
It can't find it's way out
There's no escaping now
Do you know what it is...

Still standing
Pain wrecks my head
Shimmers hit my body hard
Nose bleeding migrane
Clean my face trimmers settle slightly scared
Damage deep inside
Wow that one was harder than the last
Body wore out arm struggling to function
Muscles tightened so hard they feel soon they will split in half
Many fights under my belt
Im loosing a fight against an opponet i cant see
