PERFECT
Dewdrops glisten fresh on grass
Gazing upon splendor
Juice of peach drips down chin
The perfect girl

WISH
Were you the masochist
Were you the sadist
How is it possible, you aren't me
When your chaste purity tears me to shreds
For what I've thought and what I've done
I wish we were one

IS THERE BUT ONE REASON
What does it all mean
This pain, this suffering
Could you know, and would you tell me?
I am but a young one, I beg for understanding
Does it have to be, all this evil?
Why, why, why?
Is this your passion, hunger?
Are you to be this compassionless for all of time?
God knows I'll still crave you, do you know this?

HAVE ME
The fiend I crave is you
You are the love I have searched for
Forsaken many in my mind's journey
Yet you adore me for it
I lay my questions at your feet
Gratify me...

CAN YOU?
Can you take this rotting corpse of a body
Make it into something beautiful
Can you work your miracles
Can you tame this monstrous mind
No one will believe you

ANOTHER YOU
It changes you ever so subtley
And yet I can notice
The glint in your eyes
The pull in your touch
You somehow feel different
More than a change
You are another you

ALTER YOU
Crooked eyes and a gaunt smile
Your skin tightens as the muscles contract
So abnormal, you look pained when you smile
So abnormal, to feel anything other than joy when you laugh
From our start, I tried to alter you
To change your views, your mannerisms
It can never be done, you have proved that
I am less naive than before and I am leaving
The aluminum door slams shut
And the wooden porch creaks as I exit
But you don't notice

BELOVED
How can you be so beautiful?
Is it possible to be this angelic when you aren't a messanger from heaven?
Your voice is soothing, it numbs my pain like cheap alcohol
Your touch is warm, yet a shiver passes through me when we do touch
I was lost before you, and now I have a reason to be found
But still I cannot have you any longer
Attuned to different destinies, never to align
My tears won't change anything
Beloved

BECOME A BETTER YOU
Submerge your mind in that one water's edge
The edge you cannot bring yourself to fall over
I can't blame you for being reluctant
Some things are inevitable
Like the growth of the weed
Or the hunger of the worm
Like a weed you chain me
And like a worm you devour me
Taking all my weak body has to offer
I'm not naive...
That's why I'm pushing you to take the plunge
Rediscover a better you
When I said I didn't blame you, I meant it
But nothing cannot be excused
And you've filled me up with so much nothing
Nothing can't sustain a girl

THE DARKNESS
In the dark
No-one knows it's you
When you feel someone in the dark
Your blood courses hotly
When apparitions bark at the door of your soul
When nightmares call and demons run through
Every one of your motions

I've made love in the dark
To the dark
What you can't see in the dark
Helps ease the anxiety

When the winds howl
And the moon dies again
I am greeted in the dark
By the soul piercing stranger

OUCH
It hurts so much when I hear your voice
But I want you to be near
Even when I'm in pain I want to hold you
It hurts so much to see you now
To remember the past, it's painful
To live in the present kills me inside
Our minds can only sieze the future
And I hope in the future I won't hurt when I hear your voice
And I wish I could promise I won't cry when I see you again

FIRST TO BREAK
I knew you'd be the first to break
Your exterior is so weak
And I saw the creases and dents in your soul
When you first spoke
I knew you'd be the first to break
I am stronger than you
More powerful than the everlasting melancholy
That courses through my veins instead of blood
Straight-forward enough to banish you
Because you were the first to break
And I'm the last to weep
It's all my fault
