Going To A Place Where I Belong
I told you how I feel,
You told me to leave...
I will never heal.
I told you 'Here's my heart,'
You threw it on the ground.
You tore my soul apart.
I told you that I would leave,
You told me to stay.
I left you to grieve.
I told you I cried tears of blood,
You said you hoped I'd die.
I fall to the ground with a thud.
I told you I was going to die,
You told me to please stop.
I left without saying why.
I'd tell you how the blood ran to the floor,
You might've told me to stop.
But that's okay, I don't...
You told me to leave...
I will never heal.
I told you 'Here's my heart,'
You threw it on the ground.
You tore my soul apart.
I told you that I would leave,
You told me to stay.
I left you to grieve.
I told you I cried tears of blood,
You said you hoped I'd die.
I fall to the ground with a thud.
I told you I was going to die,
You told me to please stop.
I left without saying why.
I'd tell you how the blood ran to the floor,
You might've told me to stop.
But that's okay, I don't...

Calm The Storm Inside
My heart is pounding, my breaths come fast.
Each step I take may be my last.
The night’s dark arms encircle me with cold.
With every step I become more bold.
The landscape blurs, I feel as if I could fly.
To the prison called my family I have said goodbye.
The elation slows, it slowly goes.
The night helps me hide, it never shows.
I fall to my knees, a cry escaping out.
Now the adrenaline is gone, I am racked with doubt.
The knife does glint in the pale cold moon.
Death’s cold laugh promises me soon.
My blood is...

Help Me?
The blade runs across my wrist, blood runs down my arm,
Mama I just asked for a family.
We can pretend, in public you turn on your charm,
But I still feel alone.
The cloth mops up the blood, the floor is stained,
Mama I just asked for a hug.
From fiery anger there is nothing to be gained.
But I still feel dead.
The sobs are muffled by my pillow, my tears carve scars into my soul,
Mama I just asked for a kiss.
I wish I could be real, I wish I could be whole.
But I still feel hope.
The screams are only silenced by the whistle of the...

Burn
You haven't called me for a while,
I am worried.
I miss your voice, your smile.
I'm dying within.
You haven't smiled for some time,
I am weary.
I miss your kiss sublime.
I'm crying within.
You haven't trusted me for so long,
I am sad.
I miss your melodies, your beautiful song.
I'm burning within.
You haven't lived for three years,
I am alone.
I miss calming your fears.
I'm gone within.
You have been gone for a decade,
I am dead.
I made sure all my debts were paid.
I see you again.
You...
I am worried.
I miss your voice, your smile.
I'm dying within.
You haven't smiled for some time,
I am weary.
I miss your kiss sublime.

You haven't trusted me for so long,

The Fall
A stormy day, a cloudy night,
Before you came along,
I lived my life in fright.
A silent sob, a muffled tear,
You raised me from the darkness,
A gift I’ll forever hold most dear.
A joyous laugh, an opened eye,
You promised forever,
And now I can touch the sky.
A mournful day, a stricken scream,
You lied, you died,
This love was just a dream.
An empty soul, a broken heart,
The earth turns grey,
My world is torn apart.
A haunting melody, a lingering love,
New wings of blue, let’s try them out,

The Journey Home
Darkness cloaks your haunting visage,
Taking you away from me.
I scream in horror as you die,
Turn away and like a coward I flee.
I cry out to you,
But you never hear.
You're still by me,
When I'm loneliest, you are most near.
Cradling your memory,
Like a newborn soul.
My tears leaving invisible scars,
I'll never again be whole.
I turn to anger,
Rage igniting the fire of life.
But your memory holds me away from and guides me to,
A life influenced and ruled by strife.
Torn in two,
But whole at the same...
Taking you away from me.
I scream in horror as you die,

Haunted
Empathetic emptiness,
Maybe a little hate.
Until you came along,
I thought this was my fate.
You gave me hope,
They gave me scorn.
You gave me love,
My heart was torn.
To leave or stay,
Accept or decline?
Wanting to hold you close,
Wishing to call you mine.
Finally the sun shone down,
You held my heart so dear.
But such perfection can never last,
I should've seen the end was near.
Then you left,
Then you died.
We both said forever,
Turns out you lied....
You haunt my day,
You haunt my...

Red, Black, and Blue
Red, black, and blue.
that's my image of you.
You hit me, beat me, called me some name.
Well now I'll put your beating to shame.
I'll see red, the red of your blood.
It'll be a fantastic flood.
I'll see black, the black of burnt skin.
You don't see the hate within.
I'll see blue, the blue of bruises.
Ready, set, go, we'll see who loses.
You won't hurt me, 'cuz I already see.
I see red, black, and blue... The colors of your fee.
You'll pay for the tears,
The sadness and fears.
I'm sick and through....

My Favorite Colors
People don’t understand when they ask me my favorite colors.
I’m a girl; I should like pink and purple, lime green and fluorescent yellow.
But I don’t.
My favorite colors are black, by whom Death is symbolized, and red, through whom rage is bellowed.
I hate it when I get the looks of condescension.
They don’t know what I go through.
They don’t see the scars on my soul; they don’t hear the sharp words of bullying I endure.
These two colors are the best, but only in the right hue.
Black must be as dark as my soul.
It must be as dark as a night with...

Insanity
I went insane
Insane in the membrane.
It all started a while back
When feelings seemed to lack.
All that was left was anger and hate
And those who tried to help were too late.
I laughed when they screamed in pain
As they held on to life in vain.
Family and friends left me in the dust,
As I broke the fragile strand of trust.
I was lost within the world of sin,
Never to see the light again.
Soon as realization was hit,
As my house on fire I lit.
In a church for me a...

The Angel
His wings blackened, his crown shattered.
Darkness he was cast into, nothing mattered.
Higher than Michael, God’s right hand.
Choking in the darkness, wrapped around his throat like a band.
His white suit poisoned to black.
There is no going back.
Burnt to hatred by the fires of Hell.
For him no death bell shall knell.
Trapped in a place and believed to be sin.
Vowing to take his crown back again.
But for now he shall wait.
And change the course… of Fate.
Darkness he was cast into, nothing mattered.
