I Only Said No
You sit in the corner
Lit by a lone light
And soon enough
You become invisible
I’m really good at being invisible
Lit by a lone light
And soon enough
You become invisible
I’m really good at being invisible

The View From My Window
The September wind pushes the tree branches as they yield and sway, joyfully.
I sit quietly.
The dry leaves scatter like the goodbyes
of an old woman ready to leave this life.
The wind beckons the crisp fall air as if to say,
"Go to the place of your dreams with peace"
The streetlights' glow tell me it's either evening or morning.
But what do they know?
Birds sing with their wings dancing in the light.
The glimmer allows me to unfold a memory
I've tucked away in the hope chest of my heart
I look to the...

Throat
unrestrained and greedy
I throw myself at you
not knowing where you come from
without asking you anything
unintentionally, like this, unintentionally...
I feel myself dissolving
like honey in your coffee
I feel numb and restless
I feel this way, I feel...
I start coughing nonstop
as if your saliva wouldn't let me
respond, breathe, resolve
not knowing what to say
not knowing, thus, not knowing.

Go To Bed
sadness often prevails
with nothing to quench it
I wait as it rolls as waves over my wounds
acidic meant to burn the soul permanently
there is no noble lesson here
just overkill
If you don't love, leave me to my pretty prison
exiled here from the Royal Court
set aside like Anne Boleyn
taken in chains to the abyss
while they boo and hiss
and for the amusement of one I burned
I wonder now, do you?
how I still exist
my answer is simply put
it's to spite you
if evicted from the earth ...

The Garden
This daisy says he loves me
The next he loves me not
I’m sitting in the backyard
In my garden
On a rock
I remember all the hope in me
The day I bought the seeds
I thought this would be good for me
The purpose that I need
Instead the flowers bring me pain
I hoped they’d bring me joy
They each hold now a reason
The daisy, my love for a boy
Each petal reveals a promise
What my fate will be today
So far he loves me so this time
Although it doesn’t feel that way
White orchids give me...

The Hands That Mark Time
The hands on the clock tick non-stop taking away,
Marking endless time mindless of my existence,
And still my soul does not see the light of day,
Will there be glimmer of hope for my resistance?
Here,
Take the memory of me, of pain of love and flee,
Free of guilt and shadows from my hollow heart,
See the pain you’ve caused that goes beyond,
Then tell me how to cope so I won’t fall apart.
Still the clock slowly ticks away into another day,
Without care or caution thrown into the wind,
My happiness dangles loose from your noose, ...

Restrained
I am nothing
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision

Sadness fills my mind
Sadness fills my mind
In my world, no one is kind
Holding back all the tears
While no one is near
I have nobody to talk to
I just have nothing to do
Anger fills my mind
In my world no one can find
Crying in my head
While people wish i was dead
Happiness never fills my mind
In my world I hide behind
I wish I had somebody to talk to
I wish I had something to do
I just want to say my goodbye
I know people...
In my world, no one is kind
Holding back all the tears
While no one is near
I have nobody to talk to
I just have nothing to do
Anger fills my mind
In my world no one can find
Crying in my head
While people wish i was dead
Happiness never fills my mind
In my world I hide behind
I wish I had somebody to talk to
I wish I had something to do
I just want to say my goodbye
I know people...

Death
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
My mom wants me dead,
A chilling truth, too true.
Her whispers in shadows,
Her gaze cold as ice,
In her heart, darkness grows,
A silent, haunting vice.
Yet under the moon's gentle glow,
I find solace, a refuge to flee,
From the torment, I must go,
To find the light within me.
For though her words cut deep,
And her intentions seem dire,
I'll rise above, I'll...

I find solace, a refuge to flee,
From the torment, I must go,
To find the light within me.
For though her words cut deep,
And her intentions seem dire,

The Forgotten
Curse the sunrise
To sleep eternally
Lost kingdom of darkness
Centuries old
Eternal tragedy
Embrace the emptiness
Dissolve in sorrow
