POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Soul Dependence
I’m bitter, broken, used up and run dry
I’m foolish, foolhardy, harsh and apologetic
I’m torn, shredded, burned and thrown away
I’m feared, loved, seen and misunderstood
What can I say to make you see me
What can I see to make you say yes
What can I hold to make you lay down
What can I leave to make you give up
I’m not alright, I’m spinning in so many circles
I’m a sucker for the way you see right through me
I hide behind the veil that’s so polluted and corrupted
You’re not mine to lose, You always remind me
My head is killing...

A Better World
I will never know you as well as razors do
I will never know you as well as pills do
I will never know you as well as hatred does
I will never know you as well as regret does
Darling, You’ve slipped beneath the favor of a careless world
The wolves are out in packs, They smell the blood in your tub
Darling, You’ve slipped beneath the table of a careless family
The snakes are out in packs, They smell the angel in your heart
Every day is all the same, A thousand moments spent trying to survive
Every night is all the same, A thousand tears spent...

A Picture Frame
If those around me fall to the ground, I swear to fall with them
If we are surrounded by the end’s sound, I swear to open my arms
And as we are consumed in the holy flame, I will shout your name
I swore I would see you again, I swear I’m coming home tonight
I’ve let so many go, I’ve stood by and watched as their hands reached out
I’ve never been so low, I’ve never sank beneath the flames in which angels shout
“Flee from this unholy place, Your heart is too pure to call this paradise”
I’m so sorry, But I knew when I let you go that I would pay this deadly price...

Faded Notes and Tired Dolls
Not enough hope is passed through these lips, Too few pleasing words
I’ve got a thousand words to say, But I’ve realized how few are pleasant
I’m trying to change that, If even for a moment, Step in for a carnival
A chaotic conglomerate of clowns, cows, monkeys, and a few oddities
My mind is raging, My imagination has taken an entire new nation
Full of fresh air, Budding plants and trees that crawled from beneath your feet
A family of outcasts, We’re taking over and taking you beneath the table
To wrap around your eyes and drag you through a land once...

Excuses
My wrists are finally clean, Without a trace of hatred upon them
But my eyes see through healing, I know the scars that lie beneath
My heart is finally safe, Without a trace of love upon it
But my soul sees through healing, I know the blood that I’ve lost
I wish I could wait for you, dear, but the angels have been calling my name for so long
I’ve kept them waiting, I’ve screamed my excuses for so many useless years
I wish I could tell you I love you, but the demons have taken my heart as their own
I’ve held so many hearts, I forgot the feeling of an empty...

The Shackles
My present is the only remnant of a life lived so hatefully
My present is the only remnant of a life lived so safely
I’m doing my best to move on from this hopeless town
But today, I realized that the town isn’t what’s holding me back
My heart is getting heavier, I never knew my bones could weigh this much
My feet are filled with lead, When I wish my head was filled with the same
The thoughts are raging, The demons are pacing, I’m so worn out and beat down
I decided to try to stand, But I stood too quickly and my head is spinning
An answer must be...

Cathedral of Blood and Glass
Face the fear within me, Face the fire raging inside
Face the traitor within me, Face the ice burning inside
Cure the disease within me, Plague my heart with hatred
Cure the indecision within me, Plague my heart with resolve
You are the one, The only, The hope, The monument to self
You are I, One with me, Completing and so deceiving
You are the love, The hate, The peace, The war with self
You or I, One must die, Complete and splitting even
A separate heart, Still you beat within me a bruise worth noticing
A separate soul, Still you chill within me...
Face the traitor within me, Face the ice burning inside

Your Final Act
This ache within me, It stirs an emotion I know not
Without a name, Without a face or certain symptom
It crawls within me, Turns within me, Rages within me
It tortures my heart, And will forever take me home
This is home, This pain and numbing throb that takes control
This hell, I feel so calm inside myself, With my demons beside me
As they scream louder, I feel my heartbeat slow to a stop
As they take me down lower, I feel my eyes shut slowly
To be alone, Is to be ashamed of who I am when I am dead
My broken soul is set to leave, Waving goodbye...

The Sunrise
One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the heat upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to our heart, And we’ll feel the purpose return inside
One day we’ll wake up to the sunrise, And we’ll feel the love upon our skin
We’ll put our hand up to another heart, And we’ll feel the pulse return in them
The love will return, The grace will be restored, The faith will be refilled endlessly
We need no god to tell us who we are, We need no god for our heart to be filled
We need another’s love, Another’s trust, Another’s hope, Another’s faith
The love will...

Your Treasure
I’m not tired of being alive, I’m tired of never being dead
I’m not tired of being here, I’m tired of never being there
I’m not tired of being hurt, I’m tired of never feeling a thing
I’m not tired of being me, I’m tired of never being you
I can’t wait for you, You never waited for me
I can’t hope with all I am that you’ll hope I’ll survive
I can’t consume all I am to give you my everything
This love wasn’t made to be, It was made to be broken
We were destined for each other, For each other to be slaughtered inside
You swear our souls belong...

I Promise
How can I forget how to fear, When I’ve lived my life cowering in every corner
How can I forget how to hate, When I’ve lived my life covered in pure hatred
How can I forget how to spite, When I’ve lived my life covering you in malice
How can I forget the ruins, When I’ve lived my life crumbling beneath the sun
I don’t want to wait forever to change, But how do I begin today better than yesterday
I don’t want to wait forever to love, But how do I begin by loving the demon in me
I don’t want to wait forever to be with you, But how do I begin to overcome myself
I...

Curtain Call
I’ll never be who I was when I was with you
How lucky am I, That you betrayed me
How lucky am I, That you hate me
I’ll never be what I was when I was with you
You threw me away, At the cost of a dollar sign and another foolish man
Was he the better man, Did he give you so much more
You threw me away, At the cost of a broken heart and another foolish night
Was it worth it, Losing me to gain nothing but my regret
I know you’ll regret it, I know you’ll come crawling back to me one day
You’ll be so sorrowful, So forgetful, So pathetic, You’ll bow down...
