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.
...

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

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.
...

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
...

I can`t figure out how to wash the day away.
Its sticky film has paralized me right here where I lay.
All the pressure makes the air too thick to breath.
Why is this the very moment you choose to leave?
...

Hideous now, I am lost again.
Drowning in a day that has yet to begin.
Wishing I lost my body like I lose my mind.
Unzip the flesh and leave it behind.
...

What beauty beguils
The sleekest of saught
That enfurls the mind
And betwixt it of naught
...

The inevitable fall like never before
Is creeping in through cracks in my door.
And locked, I keep tight my misery abound.
Behind which I`m holding in the breakdown.
...

There`s a void in me no more explainable
And my head stings of words, regrettable.
Guilt has discovered where I hide.
Consumes as smooth as it confides.
...

Sky blue,
eyes of truth,
an ocean hew,
this heaven`s view.
...
