Here is a collection of my poems both good and bad. This indicates a poem I have won awards for. There aren't too many of those as I rarely submit anything I write. And this indicates something new. |

Break your face when you break the mirror
They don’t understand its what you fear
When the glass shatters and cuts your skin
You find the impurities of pure sin
You can only reflect what’s within
Destroy the demon in the mirror
Cry not a word but a simple tear
Carry the glass ashes in your hand
Hold them close to your heart and...
Break your face when you break the mirror
They don’t understand the demon you fear
The memories remain on your blooded fist
Scars and cuts and bloody bliss
You can’t resist the devil’s kiss
You can’t resist the demon’s...
Destroy the demon in the mirror
Cry not a word but a simple tear
Destroy the demon as it stares
Broken heart with your broken mirror
Broken because nobody cares
When the glass shatters and cuts your skin
You’ll find the impurities of pure sin
Age
What I say and what I mean
Aren’t always what they seem
As I keep on growing older
My heart keeps getting colder
When I say that I like you
It doesn’t mean that I love you
But this life keeps getting better
I can put the pieces together
I think I just got used to the pain
All
All the liquor in the world
Wouldn't change a thing
All the cigerettes
Wouldn't make it better
Cause all the pain we’ve suffered
Would just return to us stronger
All the glass you break
And all the scars you make
Is just not enough
To cure a broken heart
And all your acting
Wouldn’t hide a thing
All your anger
Wouldn’t change their minds
All the illusions you use
Wouldn’t help you escape reality
All the artificial smiles you give
Wouldn’t hide your insanity
Cause all that is
And all that was
Is the shadow that your darkness hides
Let the sun come up
And it’s by your side
Cause all you do
And all you are
Wouldn’t change the truth
All I Want
All I want is for someone there to be here for me the way he was there for me
All I get from you is that you'll be there for me when you're not tired of me
All I want is for someone to be my friend when I'm lonely and he's lonely too
All I get from you is that you won't be my friend because I have other people to hold on to
All I want is to make the one I love show me a smile and a laugh
All I do for you is speak my mind and for you inspire wrath
All I want is to earn your warmth by righting my wrongs
All I do, whenever it is I do, I've been your nuisance all along
All I want is for someone there to be here for me the way he was there for me
All I get from you is that you'll be there for me when you're not tired of me
All I need is for someone to love me the way I am for who I am
All I feel from you, my solitude, my solitude, godawful solitude
And Now I Break
Still the same as it was before
Nothing resolved
You apologized, but you still ignore
I carry the burdens
Of more paths than I can take
I held, I held
And now I break
The lifelessness I live
I haven't used my voice since it began
The solitude of lonliness
Even when you are around
Its still the same
Nothing changed
Nothing given
Nothing gained
I held, I held
And now I break
Anemia
I tried hard to take my life
Yet another thing I could not do right
In this world I’ve been alone
To drown my sorrows cease to moan
Taken the path of a living less scenic
If my tears were blood I’d be anemic
If my smiles had souls, they’ve all been sold
If my breath was life, it has run cold
If my heart was glass, it has been ground to dust
And the heave of my sighs blows it away with a gust
If you told me you loved me, I’d no longer believe it
If my tears were blood I’d be anemic
Apathy
I think the world stopped moving
There’s no more pain where I used to cry
There’s no more sorrow when I see a good thing die
No more happiness where I used to smile
No more paintings in my aisle
I think the world stopped moving
I think my heart stopped beating
I think the universe collapsed
The crumbling remains slipped through my fingers
I threw the ashes on my casket
And ran away
Black Rose Bed
Burnt out the black rose
In the outfit that she wore
Just yesterday &
Everyday before
Black rose bed in her living room
Feel the thorns, feel the thorns
Crawling up your skin
Pushing up
Makeing you bleed
Black rose bed
Its in you head
You’re the one tearing up your own flesh
You’re the one who’s in this mess
It’s you that fears yourself
Alive rather than dead
Black rose bed
Everyday you lose another
In your heart or in your leg
Sleeping day and night
In your black rose bed
Feel the thorns, feel the thorns
Crawling up your skin
Pushing up
Bleeding you till you’re dead
And what lives on is your
Black rose bed
Broken Promise
I gave you heart
My spirit, my soul
I'm being torn apart
Can you please let it go
I promised I'd stay
Forever lasting till the end
Now my hearts gone astray
A mistake I've tried to mend
I'll hide these tears
As I stand in the rain
I've awakened my fears
I don't want to bring you pain
I'll try to hold on
Please let my heart go
So I can move on
So that pain you'll never know
That someone's left you
The person you still love
Broken Star
I wish I could bring all the happiness and joy to myself
To feel for a moment a life without hell
I wish I could sing
But my madness is brief
A short while to feel relief
I wish I could yell deep into the dark night
If only I had the will, I might
I wish I could see the world through blind eyes
Feelings of shadows, nobody dies
I wish I could hold on longer to laughter
And heal my wounds here on after
I wish I could be if being were true
I’d be able to live my life without you
I wish I could paint just what I’m feeling
It’s too many colors to be revealing
I wish I could fall forever and ever
What it happen, never.
I wish I could buy an invisible door
Paint it blue and place it on the floor
I wish I could die
But not in your arms
The smile you’d give
Would do too much harm
Cannot
Be there for me like a dream
Ever so serene
I can look and I can feel
But I cannot touch
Whisper in my ear
Those things I like to hear
I can listen and adore
But I cannot watch
Blow those kisses on my face
Like little drops of grace
I can catch with my hand
But I cannot embrace
Love me while I'm gone
Ever for so long
I can love and I can want
But I cannot have
Coffin
Dead man in a box
I sent you there
Dead man in a box
I hated you so
Dead man in a box
They drained your blood
Dead man in a box
Lying there cold
Dead man in a box
Rotting so slow
Dead man in a box
I’ll never see my reflection in your eyes
Dead man in a box
Darkest Dreams
The darkest dreams cannot be found
If true meaning hides no sound
In the heart or in the eyes darkest dreams are disguised
Not a noun but a void
Darkest dreams you can’t avoid
Heartfelt apologies have no meaning
In the darkest dreams you are dreaming
The pain and suffering of our memories
Darkest dreams remember these
Get revenge and feel pleasure
It’s the darkest dream you’ll treasure
Delight and terror, sweetened with horror
Taste my darkest dreams
Death Poem 1
I felt my heart break
It felt like death
The last heart beat
But my heart beats on
Death would have more mercy
Death would take the pain away
Death is understanding
I felt my heart break
Not for the first time
But by the same love
It shatters like glass
And the splinters won’t leave
So why can’t I?
Death would have more mercy
Death would take the pain away
Death is understanding
Death would have more mercy
Death Poem 2
Sadness has taken my heart
The one that once belonged to you
You seem to fade out of my life
And death calls me more than you
And who do I run to?
Where do I go when I’m falling?
The voice I hear calling is no longer you
Because death calls me more than you
Do I take the call?
What else can I do?
When I’m no longer your love
And death calls me more than you
Decay
All the roses you gave me have withered away
The last petal has fallen with love now decay
Leaves nothing but thorns and rot
And all the love you gave me you have forgot
Nothing, sweet nothings, were whispered away
Blown away with promises of with me you would forever stay
Nothing is left here but my broken heart
It withers away like my roses fell apart
All the roses you have me have withered away
Lost hope you would bring me more one day
Lieing in my bed of fallen rose petals
And together we decay
Desire
My desire for him means nothing
I can embrace myself in his name
To me my heart is something
Something left to blame
To him I am no one
No one but a game
And I’m hurt and lost forever
I should have known better
Better than to let my heart free
Better to think of him before me
And in this world I wanted nothing
Nothing that can’t exist
But my ignorance is taunting
Taunts I can’t resist
To slash and scar my skin
Like some sort of masochist
To offer myself to the sky
Arms spread like a crucifix
My desire for him means nothing
Nothing’s never the same
Because I know this life meant something
Only cause death never came
Disenchanted
Disenchanted
A ray of lost hope
A breath full of smoke
Disenchanted
Do I wait for you here
As you make love to her
Disenchanted
Bleed the embers of this pain
While you smiled in her eyes
Disenchanted
I’ll sulk and wonder why
She’s in the warmth of your arms
While I’m…disenchanted
Don’t Wipe My Tears Away
It seems all I do is cry
If there where reasons there’d be a why
I don’t know what’s in my mind
But my tears have run me blind
Does my sadness awaken your fears?
I’m sorry, but please don’t wipe away my tears
When they run down my face
I feel hopelessness embrace
Please don’t wipe away my tears
They’ve been building up for all these years
It won’t be long
Till I’m gone
But please don’t wipe away my tears
Drown
I took one last look
Then closed my eyes
I let it out, I let it go
Into the ocean below
It tasted like tears
I breathed them in
A broken heart struggled to find its pace
A shattered dream wept
Great sorrows on my face
A voice called out to me
And reached for my hand
It was too late for me
I was in too deep
And there I sank into eternal sleep
Dust Sight
The stars collide
Beneath the frozen eyes
The sky is rich
The birds sing with pride
In the corner of my room
I see nothing
I can feel it all
The force of the wind
Sweeping the blades of grass
The hollow emptiness
Of never knowing when
In the corner of my room
Where I spend all my time
I see nothing
I can feel it all
I feel the ocean beneath my feet
I do nothing
Yet I feel tired
And I feel beat
Defeated by the world
Its trees with rustling green leaves
The sprinkle of rain droplets
On a cold winter’s day
I know it happens
That’s what I assume
But I can see nothing
In the corner of my room
Envy
I try hard to not be envious
But its hard to not envy you
When everything you do is better
Than anything I produce
When everyone thinks you are beautiful
But no one gives me a second look
When they all say you are kind and pure
And I am just an annoying punk
Its hard not to envy you
And though I envy I can never hate
For you are my closest friend
And the only kindness I get nowadays
Escape
Transformation due to desperation
Empty hearted and cold blooded
Experiment on a counter
Dark haven to encounter
Lost to shadows of illusions
A life’s story and conclusion
The envy and the rage
To rebel on this age
Leaving everything behind
To discover what I could not find
Self peace and serenity
A lost hope and identity
Falling Star
Wish I had a talent to call my own
Wish I found a place that felt like home
Wish I had a love that would last
Wish I had not grown up so fast
Wish I had a star I could call
Wish my wishing star would not fall
Friday Afternoon
The smell of rain on a Friday afternoon
I don’t know where I’m going
I hope I’ll be there soon
They ran away from me so much
I ran away from home
I’m not lost at all
I’m just free to roam
My hair slashes my face whenever the wind blows
I follow where it goes
I follow what I don’t know
When the dark clouds gather they proclaim
When I fall so will the rain
We’ll both disappear
Gone with the sunshine
And my hope and despair
Roads aren’t endless
The end right here
They get colder and darker
And cover up my cries
From anyone to hear
Or save my lies
Nothing will be left
Nothing of a birth in June
With the smell of rain
On a Friday afternoon
Gold
The embers of a darkest passion
Smother eyes till they blacken
And the world has lost its luster
Just when you thought you could trust her
Mother the father of his son
While they crumble one by one
Into the hands of the rising sun
Fortune told to the believer
When its gone it’ll deceive her
Frozen ashes of today
Will burn your soul and won’t go away
And every pixel on a rose
Wouldn’t reveal a hint of gold
All the colors in our spectrum
Can’t be placed on a flag to show our freedom
When your hand caress my face
And you move in close to kiss
I turn away
I cannot let you touch a body like this
I'd give my all to you
But I'd rather find a better gift
Such loving arms I long to be with
I cannot let you touch a body like this
People say love is blind
I do not believe in the ugliness that is I
I love you more than I can say
I cannot let you touch a body like this
When you look into my eyes I cry inside
I'll let your whispers pass like a breeze
I want to show you how much I love you
But I cannot let you touch a body like this
Where did all the light go
It used to glow in your eyes
Now I see it fading
With all the words you gave me
Why would you lie
Why wouldn’t you
Goodbye midnight
So long sunrise
Leave me be sundown
Hold me when I drown
Your voice was my breath
Take it away like all the rest
Sky night echoing the stars
Your life nothing but a scar
Fall off to nowhere
Nowhere to go
Should I hide with the light
Keep it with me till I die
Carry the soul
That haunted your eyes
Help to Help
It wasn’t too long ago
Maybe two years last Monday
I looked up to you
And you turned the other way
And I cannot help this heart from beating
And I cannot keep this soul from wanting you
And cannot help to help loving you
Every time I try you ignore me
Every time I look you pretend
You don’t notice
And when I think of you, I want to die
Cause what you think of me would make me cry
It’s not hard to say this love is deadly
Even the thought of his kiss is poison
Makes my blood weaker and weaker
And I cannot help this heart from beating
And I cannot keep this soul from wanting you
And I cannot help to help loving you
Hold On
It's been long, far too far long
Do we even listen when the other speaks
I stayed up late one too many nights
Lost hours of sleep because I think of you
Is this love? What is is that I try to hold on to?
I want to reach you but you're so far away
We're both hurt, not even lieing to ourselves
Is there a way to mend our pains
Is this love? What is it that I try to hold on to?
Why must you always be so far away
You got your time, I've got my time
Can we ever find a time of our own?
I try to stay sane, but I'm weary of this riddle
Is this love? What is it that I try to hold on to?
No where to go, no one to turn to
Nobody knows, would they even care
That everynight I cry myself to sleep with memories
And when I wake I wonder
If your eyes had tears to cry, would you do the same
Is this love? What is is that I try to hold on to?
I'll stop this here
I'll stop this now
Its too good to be true
So it must be a lie
Tell me that you love me
But I won't fall again
Passion is a poison
I won't let my heart die another time
Don't look at me like that
Don't make me cry
Even if love is real
Its too painful to try
I won't give you a chance
You won't hurt me
I cannot give you a chance
Though it hurts me
When it all began it was beautiful
When it all began it was happiness
Rosebuds blossomed and never seemed to die
Life was wonderful when I was the sparkle in your eye
You closed your eyes to me
Rose petals fallen
You closed your heart to me
Life is bleak
Life is dismal and dying
When you are not mine
Just Leave Me Alone
Hey here we go again
Pretend to be my best friend
But it’s all a joke
No need to play this hoax again
Cause it doesn’t matter what happens to me
It’s all about you
I don’t want to know
What you ate this morning
I don’t want to know
About that stranger in class today
Hey, I don’t want to know
I don’t want to talk
Just leave me alone
You never ask
How my day went
And you never ask
"Hey how did you get that bruise on your face?"
You never ask
Now I don’t want to talk
Just leave me alone
No, I don’t want to know
How the world revolves around you
All I wanted was to get a word in or two
And here you are, yet again
But save your breath
Don’t want to be your friend any more
I don’t want to talk
Just leave me alone
Keith's Song
There is no love echos through this place
The hall is filled with a child's sadness
As I hide behind closed doors with no one to embrace
And there they go again
Walk away my child, walk away
But the pain will be back another day
Look away my child, look away
But would that help anything go away
There is only peace when the moonlight flows through his windows
But the child is haunted by nightmares
As I hide behind fake smiles and laughter, what goes on here, no one knows
And there they go again
Run away my child, save your sorrows
The pain will be back tomorrow
Look away my child, look away
But would that help anything go away
Kristina
only Keeper of my heart
give me Reason to fall apart
your Incantation has imprisoned me
give me Salvation so I can be
you Taunt my soul
like an Infection killing me slow
but to you I am Nobody
just a game in your moral Anarchy
Light Bug
Like a bug in the gutter
Alone in the dark
Can’t find my way
The stench of the earth
There’s nowhere to pray
I see the light from above
And there’s no way up
Alone in the dark
I can’t find my way
There’s no where to go
No more faith to pray
The sound of my own heart
Death becomes a part
Alone in the dark
Like a bug in the gutter
My child torn wings
They can’t even flutter
No, there’s no way out
Sleep with filth
Alone in the dark
Abuse in my body
Trapped in my own hell
Alone in the dark
There’s no way out from this place
Lost Nowhere
Nowhere’s a destiny
Nowhere I’d like to be
Nowhere I’d like to go
Nowhere well never show
Nowhere’s a time lost in space
Nowhere I’d like to see my face
Know where I’m hiding?
Neither do I
Nowhere’s a part of me
Lost in eternity
Know where I am?
Niether to I?
I saw this picture
And thought of you
Hope is lost to what it may seem
And in this picture
You are my Dream
I saw this picture
And in it what you Desire
A life filled with beauty
For you to admire
I saw this picture
And thought of your Delight
When the image of Delirium
Ravished your eyes at first sight
And in this picture
I feel Despair
And in this picture
I see Destruction
And in this picture
I want Death
And in this picture
I’ll lose you to Destiny
For in this picture
I do not see me
Three in the morning
Tears in one’s eye
The soul is hopeful
The body will die
Manifested pain
By living a lie
Nothing is right
Waited far too long
Want to deny it
It’s all that’s wrong
Wake up dead and lonely
Wake up dead and only
Wake up to the fear
Manifested pain
Wake up to the anger
And the love
That are so near
Wake up dead and lonely
Wake up dead and only
Wake up dead and mourning at
Three in the morning
With tears in one’s eyes
The soul is hopeful
The body will die
Manifested pain
By living a lie
A single strand of hair
Stuck upon my hand
Is all I have of her
Did it ever touch her lips?
Did it ever touch her face?
I can wear my heart on my sleeve
But it would not be in the right place
Living in a labyrinth
Time giving chase
I hunger for happiness
Tied with velvet and lace
Did it ever touch her lips?
Did it ever touch her face?
Did the rain fall on her tongue?
And leave its bittersweet taste?
I can wear my heart on my sleeve
But it wouldn’t be in the right place
Far off is where I’m waiting
For someone to save me
Deep down buried in this earth
I know the pain you are feeling
But love hurts
I took the breath you gave me
Breathed it in
But now I’m exhaling
I hate the love you gave me
Don’t need
What’s been done to me
Can’t stand
Yes, it’s changing me
I have your heart
Which you gave to me
Held it tight
Until it stopped beating
I know the pain you are feeling
I know, but love hurts
I heard the words that you said to me
I heard them well
But I’m no longer listening
To my muse
I give a song
For the abuse
I’ll make it long
To get you back
I’ll paint it black
Because it is blue
I am too
The sun sets beneth the horizon
It's there to keep my eyes on
Cause when I return from its bliss
I know I’ll be without his tender kiss
I’ll never hear his laugh, or see him smile
I’ve always been lonely without him
And all the while
There goes the sun
And the shadow of the land he was buried on
One that betrayed me
One that saved me
I wish I knew where I was coming from
You know me better than yourself
You know the hurt of being alone
Candlelit stars fade behind the sun
Hope dissolves upon your tongue
New born child
New born child
I wish I knew where I was coming from
New born child
New born child
Teach me how to dream
New born child
New born child
Before you open your eyes
Teach me how to dream
No One
Look around
See the sun
Burn my eyes
No one knows
No one cares
No one loves
A pitiful thing like me
Stand around
Watch his lips
As they sing
Songs I know are me
No one knows
No one cares
And I feel that it’s over
For a pitiful fool like me
Hear the sound
And I know its over
Poison drink
Of your life
Take a sip
No one knows
No one cares
No one loves
No one understands
A pitiful thing like me
It’s now or never
Time to face the world again
Oh black shadows
That follow the river bend
But it’s now or never
Got to live before you’re dead
Got to try before you fall
Time won’t last forever
Time can be too late
And it’s now or never
Try to face the world again
Now or never
Live it all before you’re dead
Now or never
Just give it one more try again
And it’s now or never
Time to give it all away
Oh black shadows
That follow the river bend
Now or never
Doesn’t matter if you crawl
Just to make it there
It’s worth another chance
But it’s now or never
Sweet lover that never was
Take my heart and all it loves
Store it in an empty box
Wrap it up in chains and locks
Sweet lover that never believed
Take the air that I breathe
Keep it in a brown paper bag
"Life less," label the tag
Sweet lover that never missed
Take the emptiness I kissed
Save it in a secret place
Tie it with ribbons and lace
Sweet lover that never hurt
Take this soul from the dirt
Hide it deep in your thoughts
Leave it there till it rots
Sweet lover that never cared
Take this feeling we could not share
Preserve all that still remains
Press it under a glass with an onyx frame
Sweet lover that never cried
Hurt me within till I died
You can’t have what remains
I’ll take it with me to my grave
Ophelia, Ophelia
Why did you drown
Ophelia, Ophelia
Where was your crown
Did you wake before you died
Does the water hide the tears you cried
Does your ghost haunt the night
Does your skin radiate in the moonlight
Ophelia, Ophelia
Where did you wander to
Ophelia, Ophelia
Did you feel love was untrue
Does the world look down on you
Does your ghost haunt the night
Does your skin radiate in the moonlight
Ophelia, Ophelia
Why did you drown
Ophelia, Ophelia
Where the flowers that you saved
Really meant for your grave
Did you know you’d take your last breath
When you shed your last tear
Did you know your last look
Would be your reflection
In the weeping brook
Maybe, had I taken the chance
You would have gave your heart to me
But I fell back into my silence
Missed an opportunity
Now you're giving your love to her
I sit here nice and lonely
What am I supposed to do to ease a broken heart?
Bottle the pain inside of me
Till I crumble and fall apart
And through the pain I can still see
Had things been different
You still would not have given your heart to me
I haven’t seen my soul in years
Lost behind fire’s sears
Other times I stood and fought
Now I take the pain and rot
Dismal and crying, I lay here
I’m dyeing
I love you, I need you, it can’t be
You taunt me
I’ve never been this close to tears
Drowning me in nightmares
Other times I’ve never lost
And now I have to pay the cost
Yelling and screaming, it can’t be
I’m dreaming
I want you, I need you, you are the key
But you do not see me
I’m lost deep in my fears
Breathing demon’s cheers
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
This love is stronger than any lust
Dismal and crying, I lay here
I’m dyeing
I love you, I need you, it can’t be
You taunt me
I've sat in silence
And waited in stillness
And all I've been longing for
A sign that you know I still exist
I cry behing a door that never knocks
I held on to the remains of Pandora's Box
I watched in vain
As you changed
I lost you when
When you forgot my name
I tried to ignore my loss
I held on to the remains of Pandora's Box
I wither in this darknes
I cried aloud for help
I called your name and stretched out my arm
You didn't even glance my way
You closed your door, and locked the locks
I fell
And crushed the remains of Pandora's Box
Plush
like pillows on a grave
like the dolls that you gave
Plush
like cotton candy on my lips
like roses on my fingertips
Plush
like clouds in the sky
like an innocent white lie
Plush
like hugs from a friend
like relief at the days end
Plush
Just drink it
Let it take hold
Swallow it down
No more to fear
Knees shake
Close eyes
Do not wake
Swallow it fast
For no taste
Lie down
Relax
Breath slowly
Then it stops
Everything
Stops
Have I always been so lonely
Has it always been this way
Have I always been a psycho
That’s what they call me anyway
But if they’d only listen
Then they might comprehend
That everyday I suffer
And it’s all because of them
They don’t know I know the truth
But they stab my back with it
The matches burn and the candles lit
I just can’t handle it
There’s my ugly face in the mirror
No wonder they say I’m very queer
I wish they could see in my eyes
Maybe then they’d realize
That no one’s different
We’re all the same
If not I might be sane
Then there’d be no reason
To call me a psychopath
Just because I’m not like them
They put my heart to shame
That’s why I have so much wrath
Then they do it again
Maybe that’s why I’m a psychopath
When I stop living
And start thinking
I want to stop living
Because of who I am
Nothing but a burden
I have to believe there is no reason
As a reason to go on
I am not alone in all of this
But I sure am lonely
I have to go on feeling
My feelings are wrong to go on
What did I hope for in life?
Nothing, but to have hope
I want to be loved
But love is replaceable
No need for a return
Just pick up a new one along the way
And what can I do?
Wear a smile, fake some laughter
Make them think I have a reason for being
I'm tired, I feel old
Living lost its luster
If it ever had it
Where could it have gone?
How much longer do I have to wait?
I want to stop living
For I am tired of this life
I want to start living
For I truely never have
Time runs deeper
Into her brow
Pain plants its roots
Further into her heart
Where’s the hurry
Where’s the rush
What’s the big deal
Of growing up
Had she taken time
Time would not have taken her
If she lived her life living
She leave life not grieving
"Oh, untimely death!"
Closed it up inside my mind
I'll keep it there
Close it up
Keeps me from hearing
Keeps me from hearing them
Lock it up
Shackled my pain
Keep it a secret
Hold it tight
If it does not escape
Then it'll rot
Hide it deep
Deep deep inside
Binding my sorrow
Keeps me from hearing
Keeps me from hearing them
Can't let it go
Can't let it out
It's trapped within me
Stored away
Swallowed it up
In hopes of decay
It deteriorates
It crumbles with my will
And now it's lost
Dead and gone
Residues inside of me
And now I have forgotten the sound of my own voice
How soon it seems you forget
What is to become of me now
There’s always a reason to forget
Always a way to feel lament
You’re nothing but a shadow now
Just an image lost in light
Some shadows last forever
Some shadows fade to past
In my heart I’m raven black
Charred by the emotions you’ve given back
Somewhere we drowned in our pain
Sometimes I realize we are to blame
Can I caress what is left?
Or are the pieces too frail?
Bleeding into your wound
Seeping into your veins
Are you high on my pain?
Maybe you just don’t abstain
Shadow’s lament
Holding salvation
Controlling us now
In our disfiguration
Who are we now?
It didn’t forget
Just a memory
In shadow’s lament
Just say the words and I’ll believe
In my heart I know you deceive
Tell me someone what’s going on
Why what I feel is so very strong
Why I hate who I’ve become
Tell me, someone, what is wrong?
You say the words I want to hear
Yet I feel sadness, my eye bleeds a tear
Tell me, someone, what am I supposed to feel?
Why does his love feel so fake?
Why I believe mine is real
Tell me, someone, where is my mistake
Spider lilly
Without your sorrows
Pick your petals
Die tomorrow
You seem like nothing
But you are everything I could have been
Everything
No one will harm you for your beauty
They’ll all blame me
Eternal duty
Beautiful spider lilly
If she speaks, my heart's untrue
Then I’d rather be her than you
I can’t stand the pain burning in my hands
I’ll hide it away
Bury it in the sand
There is no end to begin
Lilly, innocent and sweet
I’ll devour your life
I’ll have my defeat
Let the world punish me cause I’m to blame
I never was the child my parents wanted
I never liked my life
But I still want it
Never thought pain could feel so good
Spider lilly without your sorrows
Pick your petals
You’ll die tomorrow
Star gazing alone
In the back of my home
Tears run down my face
As I gaze into space
Maybe we are not alone out there
But I’m alone in here
With the wastes of today
Running down my face
Star gazing alone
I let my mind roam
But it always comes back
To this cold, dismal place
And if space is space
Is space alone
Let is rest in my heart, a home
Star gazing, alone
Star, shine just for me
I need you now
For there is nothing left for me
I had another vision
And in it I died
My one true love did not cry
He was not around
Oh star, shine, I need you now
Comfort me to my last breath
I’ll die without love’s caress
Star, shine just for me
I fear the end is drawing near
Without my love, my darling, my dear
I’m dying from a heart so foolish
Star, shine just for me
I lost a dream today
And threw my faith away
Drew a star upon my hand
For a wish that wouldn’t withstand
Want to wrap myself in clean white sheets
Want to hold my world away
Want to be all that I can be
But I lost a dream today
The night knows how I’m feeling
It covered up its stars
It left this place dark and eerie
Just how I feel in my heart
The wind howled
And my sighs kept in tune
I held back my tears
The coulds could not rain
The night knows how I’m feeling
Maybe it lost an angel too
Misery, stone cold, alone, scared, and weak
Misery everyday of every week
Here’s another day of every year
For wanting what I fear
Death
Life, a helpless game and a cruel sport
Misery everyday of every week
Hey misery, you’re coming for me again
My faithful friend
Misery
You always miss me, you always will
Watching as my blood does spill
Misery everyday of the week
Here’s another day of every year
For wanting what I fear
Death
When next I stray
I’ll go away
My heart to hide
Or coincide
I fade to mist
I’ll cease to exist
A heart to break
And a head to ache
My one and only
Must leave me lonely
My love to you
Be it true
Will last forever
Though I may see you never
So carefully
The rain washes all my tears away
And the thunder covers up my cries
Rain drops sing a lullaby on my bedroom window
How beautiful
Is this eulogy the sky presents
Coldness dawns and whispers all my blood away
Held a rosary with some bright red fingers
So cheerfully
The lightning goes into its dance
Ode to this pain
Its only vision of a better future
Ode to this pain
But I shall not live to see another day
And you did not think I would be crying
And you did not think I would be crying
Your warm kiss upon my lips
My heart melts and I lose myself
Your strong arms cradel me gently
I feel safe from harm
Your sweet breath upon my face
I inhale and embrace
Your eyes gaze deeply into my own
And trap me in an abyss
My eyes close
And await another kiss
Then I opened them
And was alone
I long to be with you
Still I long to be away
To complete a transformation
By being led astray
I want a change
I need a change
I must get away from you
I want to stay
Should I stay?
My heart cannot deliver life without you
My mind can only feel peace without you
I saw the world
And broke my wrist
I caught a falling star
And burned my lips
I held on to twilight
And bled my eyes
I watched an aurora
And fell to my demise
I embraced the rain
And cut my skin
I smelled a rose
And withered within
I fell in love with you
And you with what remained
I fell in love with you
And await what this beauty offers in pain
There’s no way of telling what to do
No time to stop time for you
In the mirror there’s a broken heart
The reflection of reality now we are apart
On the bed there is your scent
And the blood and tears of my lament
You go and I know you love her
But your heart cannot love forever
You said those words with no meaning
But the look in your eyes deceived me
There’s no way of telling what to do
It’s all misconception until it’s true
Once in love I called love art
Now I call it bitter, vile, tart
If I read the letters you once sent
I would cry for the moments we once spent
You left my embrace for her lips
What feeling can there be in that kiss?
If time heals and leaves a scar
May I wander life without you
Your memory afar
Why do you do what I do
Say What I say
Tell me your troubles
And hope they all go away
I'll tell you I'm sorry
That you've been dismayed
I have my own troubles
Guess I'll save them for another day
Who worries for me, I wonder
Who would worry anyway
Cry on my shoulder again
In a pool of tears I shall lay
And when its all over
I'll just get up and walk away
Tunnel vision
No division
Part of a whole
Broken soul
A superstition
Peaceful earth
Laughing curse
Tunnel vision
Indecision
Which way to go
Never know
Tunnel vision
An incision
Rigor mortis
Death will sort us
Tunnel vision
No permission
Got away
Got a day
Tunnel vision
Television
Cruel dictator
Individuality hater
Tunnel vision
Let go
Fell down
You smile
I drown
Let go
Broke heart
You smile
Lost parts
I have no self-pride
I have no self-confidence
I’m a picture of grotesque unrewarded innocence
Misery loves company
And three’s a crowd
When I want to speak
I’m never aloud
My mouth duct taped by hatred and anger
My eyes blinded by kindness and laughter
Served on a silver plate with shame by my side
They cut me open
I should care
I have no self-pride
I have no self-confidence
I’m a picture of grotesque unrewarded innocence
A child that went wrong
An image of the truth
I’m a picture of grotesque unrewarded innocence
Misery loves company
Three’s a crowd
I’m the outcast
But I’m always around
I waste away
I waste a day
I waste a tear
I waste a year
Hush, my darling
Do not cry for me
Sweet lullaby
My melody
I waste away
I waste a day
I waste a tear
I waste a year
Beautiful rose
Celestial peace
You froze
I waste away
I waste a day
I waste a tear
I waste a year
My angel
Save me
Everlasting heaven
I fell
I’ve wasted
My life
Be there for me when I dream
And I’ll wait an eternity
Be there for me when I dream
Save me from uncertainty
Watch over me when I cry
So I have something left to hold on to
Watch over me when I cry
And I’ll feel one thing is true
Who Am I without you?
I am no one
No one true
I will not breathe
I will not smile
I will not try
To live my life
I’d rather die
You keep me up
You give me reason
I give you love
Words on a page
They make me cry
A silence broke unto my heart
I forgot frustration and rage
Sadness filled my eyes
I could feel my heart beat in my head
But it is still in its cage
I read to myself the words that hurt
I read myself a last goodbye
My tears mixed with those on the page
Trying to find myself
But I’m lost in you
You, who are you
Became a part of me
Became a part I never wanted to see
You, who are you
Said words I wanted to hear
Said words that were unclear
You, who are you
Take them away
Take them all away
You, who are you
Can you tell me your name
Can you tell me we are the same
You, who are you
The last faith in an amber fire
The last light in a fading desire
You, who are you
Please don’t give me your heart
Please don’t make me fall apart
