Goodbye
It was a cold winter night.
My head filled with fright.
The hollidays were over, my life was nearly over...
The toughts in my head, the chills in my bones.
But mostly, the messages in our phones.
We laughed and we cried, 'till late in the night.
But it was bound to end. You as my girlfriend.
We were good we were bad.
We both ended mad.
But in the end I was not only glad, I was mostly sad.
It didn't work, like eating soup with a fork.
All I long for is to look you in the eye,
Goodbye.

It Wasn't Me
Who gave you
the Authority
to sentence me
to a life
of servitude
bending my back
to pay
the ever spiralling Bills
of the necessities
in this life
Who gave you
the Authority
to sentence me
and my children
to a life
of Eating and Drinking
known poisons
that you deemed
as Legal
Who gave you
the Authority
to sell me lies and deceit
then rebrand those words
Fake news
Who was it
who gave you
the Authority
to confuse
our children
on...

Broken
I fought beside you
Lent you my strength
Put aside my demons
Yet you gave up
You held my heart
A delicate object
I trusted you with it
Yet you broke it
I gave you my love
My happiness
My world
Yet you destroyed it
I fought the sadness
The hurt and the pain
Offered you my love
Yet you left me alone
Left to wander through life
Alone in my strife
Words hurt like a knife
Yet you left me in darkness
I gave you my trust
My heart and my soul
My love and my world
But now I’m standing...
Lent you my strength
Put aside my demons
Yet you gave up
You held my heart
A delicate object
I trusted you with it
Yet you broke it
I gave you my love
My happiness
My world
Yet you destroyed it
I fought the sadness
The hurt and the pain
Offered you my love
Yet you left me alone
Left to wander through life
Alone in my strife
Words hurt like a knife
Yet you left me in darkness
I gave you my trust
My heart and my soul
My love and my world
But now I’m standing...

Regret
Delirious images of what-could've-beens
Haunt my day like walking dreams
Regret twists my gut sick
The road not taken mocking me
If I could give it all up
For a taste of what I've already had
Would I so callously toss it aside
And become a ghost, lost in the past?
I ponder it as I take a sip
The pills already down
Not too late for a last regret
As I jump in to another memory and drown
Haunt my day like walking dreams
Regret twists my gut sick
The road not taken mocking me
If I could give it all up
For a taste of what I've already had
Would I so callously toss it aside
And become a ghost, lost in the past?
I ponder it as I take a sip
The pills already down
Not too late for a last regret
As I jump in to another memory and drown

What used to be.
He lays next to me. I can feel him breathing as we speak.
But my mind drifts back to you.
He says something to make me smile. He doesn’t realise it’s all been said before.
My mind drifts back to you.
I smile at the book store. Thinking of a conversation we had. The sinking feeling in my chest begins. Knowing I can’t tell you. Ever tell you.
That my mind drifts back to you.
But my mind drifts back to you.
He says something to make me smile. He doesn’t realise it’s all been said before.
My mind drifts back to you.
I smile at the book store. Thinking of a conversation we had. The sinking feeling in my chest begins. Knowing I can’t tell you. Ever tell you.
That my mind drifts back to you.

Idle Heart
Anchored to a place where I found myself tightly wrapped in you.
A voice whispering its lingering tone in the heart as it hopes.
How many times must I listen to you love the blistering plagues of her infection before you remember me?
I fanned moving from this place to guard this heart from the burns of your degrees of pattern.
I procreated these feelings over and over, birthing the notion that if I remain glued in place though I pain your eyes will find me crying in your heart.
Bleeding from wounds in oblivion behind the curtain that...
A voice whispering its lingering tone in the heart as it hopes.
How many times must I listen to you love the blistering plagues of her infection before you remember me?
I fanned moving from this place to guard this heart from the burns of your degrees of pattern.

Closest
Who could've known
Those closest to you
Can hurt you the most
Those you let into your heart
But keep theirs locked away
They didn't care
Those who promise to stay
Said you mean the world
Always there by your side
They lied
Those who gave you purpose
Taught you love
Showed you friendship
Gave you hope
They felt nothing
You gave them your trust
Let them see your soul
Showed them true emotions
They didn't understand
You opened up
Let them read your pages
Showed them your soul
They...
Those closest to you
Can hurt you the most
Those you let into your heart
But keep theirs locked away
They didn't care
Those who promise to stay
Said you mean the world
Always there by your side
They lied
Those who gave you purpose
Taught you love
Showed you friendship
Gave you hope
They felt nothing
You gave them your trust
Let them see your soul
Showed them true emotions
They didn't understand
You opened up
Let them read your pages
Showed them your soul

the plucked rose
the crown of the garden
this elegant rose
whose petals were jewels
beguiling my nose
no blemish to tarnish
its fragrance-clad bed
no tarnish to blemish
no blood thereon bled
reluctant, departing
i go on my way
its honeyed breath clinging
the whole livelong day
returning, i pause for
another brief glance
at that little gem
which so made my heart dance
but dripping sad teardrops
and sighing in pain
an empty stalk bows ...

Disconnected
When we hear
those struggling
whispering words
of reason
within our ears
why does our mind
only hear
the sound
of silence
those struggling
whispering words
of reason
within our ears
why does our mind
only hear
the sound
of silence

Are we not born
within the maze
do we not wander
aimlessly
within this maze
do we not climb
the broken minds
of others
within this maze
to continue
to build the wall
within the maze
within the maze
do we not wander
aimlessly
within this maze
do we not climb
the broken minds
of others
within this maze
to continue
to build the wall
within the maze

What difference does it make to say youll stay
What the hell is the difference between you and me
We both bleed deep thats not the case
We both bleed deep but you cant see
The side of you that I can see through
Transparent like a ghost
And just as hollow too
Drag me down so i fall too.
Drag me down I'll follow you.
What does it matter that we dont speak
What is it about me that makes you hate
What did I do to make you so mad at me
We both bleed deep but we aren't the same
We both bleed deep and we're both to blame
We...
