Fighting for something I shouldn't?
Why even try?
When I know that you wouldn't.
I'm Stallone,
Out of prime.
Expendable to your light.
Heavy Heavenly burden.
Can't feel,
Dare to heal?
Girl you don't have time for the pudding.
I'm feeling wild,
Little child.
My head is driven mad when it shouldn't,
Be for you,
Oh so true.
My heart can't take the games that you put it,
Through ringer stranger.
You leave me in danger of being left with the man in the mirror.
Doubting you is...
Fighting for something I shouldn't?
Why even try?
When I know that you wouldn't.
I'm Stallone,
Out of prime.
Expendable to your light.
Heavy Heavenly burden.
Can't feel,
Dare to heal?
Girl you don't have time for the pudding.
I'm feeling wild,
Little child.
My head is driven mad when it shouldn't,
Be for you,
Oh so true.
My heart can't take the games that you put it,
Through ringer stranger.
You leave me in danger of being left with the man in the mirror.
Doubting you is...

Never easily evaded
Clueless as can be,
confusion is ruthless,
I stand to it
but can't see,
ran from it but
I can never flee,
never free
foolishly
in disbelief of the disaster displayed
not so discreetly
but silently it defeats me
repeatedly
seems to be never easily evaded
no escape is evident
or elegantly alluded to
but it's been disputed
through and through
still can't see which decision
I'll eventually rue
especially if I don't pay my dues
or pay attention to
the clues so copious
and always...

Hollowed Mouse.
Here,
here in my home with these white four walls, with a roof overhead and a garden and a microwave oven and a wood-burning stove I am drowned by my reality. Here,
here in my pit after binge eating pineapple until stomach gives up and tongue splits on acid, it chases me down.
The sensation cuts that I always was a rotten ship any sailor would be mad to climb aboard and claim their vessel.
Light seems to call to a close, heavy drapes of this life show thread-bare sections,
sickness and destitution pour in.
Poverty isn't as terrifying as pandemic
but...

Nightmarathon
I wander into the abyss many nights
Not just a tourist with a suitcase full of fears
But a resident in this wretched place
The demons crawl out of every shadow
And ravage me relentlessly
Sadness in my soul presses me harder and harder
And my mind is haunted by past horrors
The devil is my doctor and his cure is suffering
And on his surgeon’s table, pain eclipses fear
Nightmares come true at times and turn into realities
Only...
Not just a tourist with a suitcase full of fears
But a resident in this wretched place
The demons crawl out of every shadow
And ravage me relentlessly
Sadness in my soul presses me harder and harder
And my mind is haunted by past horrors
The devil is my doctor and his cure is suffering
And on his surgeon’s table, pain eclipses fear
Nightmares come true at times and turn into realities
Only...

Surrender Ave.
Maudlin unsigned love letters sent to you
by a bloody-knuckled drunk
organ-fucked into the next life
Perhaps I shall take my leave
A suicide promise free-fall
Then would you hear me?
Haunting you from the other side
of our world
Eternally untouched where I need you most
You are always searching for something
and I know it isn't me
by a bloody-knuckled drunk
organ-fucked into the next life
Perhaps I shall take my leave
A suicide promise free-fall
Then would you hear me?
Haunting you from the other side
of our world
Eternally untouched where I need you most
You are always searching for something
and I know it isn't me

Me
I wish upon a star
I hope I can begin
I travel far and wide
Avoid darkness from within
I dream of love and peace
Instead i get a war
We need to be a team
Instead we close the door
I feel the pain inside
Beating in my chest
No way for me to heal
I really tried my best
Time may heal my wound
It could break me apart
I lose sight of the real
I fall back to the start
I think of being more
Trying to save the day
I wish I could be brave
My mind would...

Broken Hearts
it broke her heart
he did something
stupid
insensitive and human
he apologized sincerely begged
for forgiveness she closed
the door in his face
two hearts broken

Silent Screaming
If you listen
very carefully
you can hear
nature scream
as we slowly
snap her bones
as we would
the branches
on a tree
as we burrow
like mindless parasites
deep
under her skin
Defacateing
in her rivers
where her life's blood
begins
sucking out
her marrow
like cannibals
with worms
leaving nothing
for our children
To Eat

Carelessness
When it comes to me,
she can't be bothered.
Like that silly plant,
you forget to water.
she can't be bothered.
Like that silly plant,
you forget to water.

Fly
Sometimes I wish I could fly
Fly away from all this shit
Away from the unforgiving pain
Away from all I want to forget
It gets unbearable
Unbelievable
Unrelenting
The pressure quickly builds up inside
It makes me question if I'm truly alive
Is there even a will to survive?
So many times I've tried
Too many times I've lied
No more pain
It's driving me insane
Don't want to stay
I want to fly away

Mental Agony
Every night I go to bed alone. I have a photo of us set up on the TV stand, angled towards my pillow so that I can see you every time I wake up, like before. I use your pillow to cuddle with and pretend in my mind that you’re still here and the pillow is actually you. I open my eyes and I see the hula girl pattern on your favorite pillowcase. Tears begin to well up behind my eyes. Sometimes I allow myself to cry deeply. Other times I force myself from shedding a tear.
I look around the apartment and it feels broken. I see the vacant areas in which your belongings used to reside....

Sweetwood Song
I still remember our last night
These streets empty
I collapsed in your arms
in a graveyard
The dead flowers felt like
kitchen knives beneath my feet
I just wanted to bleed all over your world
And chain you to mine
These streets empty
I collapsed in your arms
in a graveyard
The dead flowers felt like
kitchen knives beneath my feet
I just wanted to bleed all over your world
And chain you to mine
