Still Drowning?
What do you do?
When you’re drowning on dry land?
What am I supposed to say to make you understand?
I’m falling through heaven
And walking through hell,
But my eyes are frozen,
In a deep dry spell.
The names I call, ---
Only bastards hear.
Speaking with demons,
It’s the angels I fear
Still drowning on dry land
Struggling with both hands
It’s the little things I can’t stand
The forgotten rights, the little wrongs
Still drowning, but dealing with people,
I know I won’t be long
I...

I'm just a broken piece
I’m love without a lover, I’m a sickness without a victim, I’m both a crime and criminal and A story book with missing pages, hidden pages, torn pages and pages never touched, Words that went unspoken, unwritten, unsaid, un-lead by a voice that need to be heard but couldn’t save itself from lost pride or future regret.
I’m sad song without lyrics just longing hums tears and mishaps sung by a teddy bear without a loving child. A house that’s not home, and a bed never slept in, a wind without whispers and a display of disarray displaying everyone that betrayed or casted away all...

Growing Darkness
Old truths come to life, come to light.
Disappointment, a life without,
Is a life I never lived.
For it’s not one I have ever lived in,
Any life I know not I had.
Forgotten Promises, already broken.
A hero falls, and my world gets a little darker
And sadness piles with tears locked in my eyes.
They can’t escape or perhaps,
They already have.
Think, breathe, sleep, wake, repeat.
An existence that burdens me
With unnecessary purposes, if a purpose at all.
A flowing of emotions, frozen, in apathy.
Addictions following like...

Only Rivers Cry
To tell them
Is to let the world know
To show them
Is to make it a show
However you try to make them see
They ever really see deep enough
Still you may try
My soul’s a sea you can’t see
Maybe a simmer of my self
But never more will you ever see
You’ll never know my murky thoughts
Or how dirty my waters are
My waters used to be so clear
In my crystal past
Oh how the world broke in
And dumped toxic experiences and left
Oh how it would rain day after day in the quite night
Few sunny moments and many cloudy days...

Innocence Lost With Dark Days
In the great abyss
I see what was in yesterday
As life is in today
Contemplating a demise
As I glance into my demon’s eyes
A heart so heavy, I had left it
And a hungry so strong, I had let it eat me alive
Years had brewed me bitter, For
My eyes, were but a cold fury
My soul, a cold lead stone
I reach into the past, desperately
Searching for a memory to keep me placid
It’s something that never lasts
A fantasy of dreams long and long forgotten
A plethora of agony and horrors nip at me
Viciously, Spawning from past and present...

Pains of the heart
Pains of the heart
And many fears
Haunted thoughts
And many tears
Wants and wishes
Through cold years
Old and daunting
But never mirrored
Unforgotten, and near
Cost of lives lost
Turned and geared
A sad word
Underrated and smeared
Alive, I wouldn't say we are
Dawn and dust
Broken trust
Time is lost
At every cost
And many fears
Haunted thoughts
And many tears
Wants and wishes
Through cold years
Old and daunting
But never mirrored
Unforgotten, and near
Cost of lives lost
Turned and geared
A sad word
Underrated and smeared
Alive, I wouldn't say we are
Dawn and dust
Broken trust
Time is lost
At every cost

To make light out of darkness
The lighter I make of things the less I feel the weight that life brings. I find content in my self-deceit and try to distort the truths I see. And the more I numb the pains, the tighter my baggage’s chains become, and its hard meeting life half way when I can barely stand it’s even harder pretending I'm ok when I can barely care for waking the next day. It is weird how no one seems to realize I feel this way when I see so many people how many times a day.
I can’t stand you, displaying your over-embellished victimhood, you thought it was a game that no one else would get, you took so...

Waiting For love
Waiting for love is a hard thing to do
With no one to give all your precious love to
Always wanting and wishing for that someone for you
And all that blushing and hoping that he wants you too
And waiting for the time when you find him saying be mine
Whatever you may do love will always surprise you
Cupid plays tricks on your heart and your mind
Before you realize love is not based on time
With no one to give all your precious love to
Always wanting and wishing for that someone for you
And all that blushing and hoping that he wants you too
And waiting for the time when you find him saying be mine
Whatever you may do love will always surprise you
Cupid plays tricks on your heart and your mind
Before you realize love is not based on time

Light too light
Bright too bright
Wish, wish to leave
To run to hide,
Dark very dark
Pitch black dark
Cold and crisp
Warm and fresh
Surrounding and open
Holding securely yet free
Jump back and fall
Fall too far too far into the light
Outside the room of the mind
Into the light of the cruel world
No stay, stay I may in my dark room
Peeking, watching the creatures of light
Pretend I'm there with them
As I hide behind the curtain of a mask
Laughing at them, laughing at who the think I am
But back in my...

Broken Melody
Broken melody, of my soul
Of my heart, of my goals
Sweet sounding agony
Sour now no love for me
Lost is my hate you see
Gone was my fate you know
This sticks and stones you see
Will break my bones you know
Their words will not hurt me
At least only physically
But in my mind you see
They’ll haunt me hysterically
Of my heart, of my goals
Sweet sounding agony
Sour now no love for me
Lost is my hate you see
Gone was my fate you know
This sticks and stones you see
Will break my bones you know
Their words will not hurt me
At least only physically
But in my mind you see
They’ll haunt me hysterically

I hear my soul sing a sweet melody
I hear my soul sing a sweet melody
As the warm breeze blows
And my heart lifts with the wind
As my worries set with the sun
And my freedom surrounds me
As the blue moon shines a beautiful glow
And my eyes give off a light reflection of the coming winter’s snow
As my sanity leaves with the clouds of the day
And the fun begins with a howl at the bay
As the owl hoots a hello
And the mice squeak goodbye
As the hues of the darkness gives you a friendly hug
And my muscles tense with the scent of a stranger
As the hunter imitates a doe...
As the warm breeze blows
And my heart lifts with the wind
As my worries set with the sun
And my freedom surrounds me
As the blue moon shines a beautiful glow
And my eyes give off a light reflection of the coming winter’s snow
As my sanity leaves with the clouds of the day
And the fun begins with a howl at the bay
As the owl hoots a hello
And the mice squeak goodbye
As the hues of the darkness gives you a friendly hug
And my muscles tense with the scent of a stranger
As the hunter imitates a doe...

lost
The thoughts they hurt
My heart so deeply
See the pain so
Far in me
I fear my mind
It controls me
Makes me breath
And lie I’m happy
Slowly I will die
Unlikely that my tears
Would hide the night
Desertion
Dread the day they’ll
Find me lying
In the dark slowly crying
Whispering things I’m
Denying
My heart so deeply
See the pain so
Far in me
I fear my mind
It controls me
Makes me breath
And lie I’m happy
Slowly I will die
Unlikely that my tears
Would hide the night
Desertion
Dread the day they’ll
Find me lying
In the dark slowly crying
Whispering things I’m
Denying
