He said “Hi” today.
Oh God, what did I say?
“Good morning” or something,
It was total instinct.
...

You follow naive and blind to the lies they spread.
You mind your manners and swallow what they`ve said.
They will narrow your options til you`re too tied to choose.
And after the devastation clears, who will you stand to lose?
...

What`s wrong with me is what`s ill in you.
You forced my hand and degraded my view.
And with a blade, you`ve placed me here,
Substituted my innocence with unending fear.
...

I see into you through your eyes, I see your true intention.
I can read your wicked mind, sins you`d rather not mention.
An immoral heart such as yours must squirm inside its cage
And fill your nights with tormented dreams of guilt and rage.
...

Caution. Tread lightly, for I am easily broken.
This bleeding heart of mine is more often left open.
Each time I get ready to heal another gash appears.
And there`s nothing left inside me now restraining back my tears.
...

The itch is driving in too deep.
Where tranquility refuses to keep.
I`m screaming, I`m burning,
And on the inside, I`m churning.
...

No one else`s eyes get me lit.
I swoon, melt and quite forget,
To blink, swallow, stand or sit.
I`m twisted up for you.
...

Here it is again,
The creeping ache.
The endless dread
Takes a scarlet shade.
...

Warmness… that`s what I know,
As soon as your skin meets mine.
Out from your touch emitting slow
Is a bliss bitter sweetly divine.
...

All of me and things I`ll never be,
Evaporation and what I cannot see.
Confound and cloud my reality…
In this life of death and finality.
...

If your eyes touch me like that again,
I may require the feel of your skin.
Away from the fireside I`ll lead you down.
They won`t notice if we don`t make a sound.
...

Here is a girl, she lives in her head.
All she wants is to stay in her bed.
The horror she`s seen,
sometimes she can`t breath
...

Overcome am I, as far as yearning goes
And to the edge where pleasure flows.
Falling footless into the fray,
To where I land, I have no say.
...

Slink, you black devil
Across my room.
Into my face, unsubtle.
I`m not afraid of you.
...

Addicted to skin,
It binds me tight.
One two three I begin
As I spring to flight
...

The words I choose are always wrong.
Elucidations stuck where they don`t belong.
Too many reasons… they fall to the floor.
All I know is I can`t do this anymore.
...

I can`t breathe when you are away.
The air gets sucked right from my day.
I feel as though my heart is sinking,
As I lose the need for rational thinking.
...

This territory is something else
These sore feet leave no prints.
I can fly if I`m locked inside myself.
For a moment I regain some sense.
...

Pill number one: for the nightmares I can`t escape.
Pill number two: for the self loathe and hate.
Pill number three: for the hauntingly brutal rape.
Pill number four: for the way I`m regarded by fate.
...

Too many nights I have wasted
on these visions and dreams squandered away.
Too much pain have I tasted
waiting for you to come back to me someday.
...
