Fallen Angel
He speaks of forever
& pulls dreams from your tear stained pillow
making them reality
his hands take away pain
even the memory of it
his eyes give you hope
you are so willing
to give him everything
laying it at his feet
you are a slave
he commands you with sweet promises
that hold no true meaning
weilding them much like a whip
the deafening crack that
lulls you into a false sense of security
a fallen angel
so beautiful and so evil
& pulls dreams from your tear stained pillow
making them reality
his hands take away pain
even the memory of it
his eyes give you hope
you are so willing
to give him everything
laying it at his feet
you are a slave
he commands you with sweet promises
that hold no true meaning
weilding them much like a whip
the deafening crack that
lulls you into a false sense of security
a fallen angel
so beautiful and so evil

Stone Wall
How can I make you hear
I'm screaming & beating on you
notice me please
acknowledge me I'm begging you
don't shut me out
don't turn away
punishing with silence
I'm trying to get through to you
four years and not a break
not one crack
Stone Wall
What should I do?
I'm screaming & beating on you
notice me please
acknowledge me I'm begging you
don't shut me out
don't turn away
punishing with silence
I'm trying to get through to you
four years and not a break
not one crack
Stone Wall
What should I do?

Mary Jane Mary Jane
Light up, inhale
the intoxicating aroma
filling the room and dulling the senses
ease my pain
quiet my fears
anxiety fades to contentment
then it is easy
to be close to be touched
to be with you
making memories fuzzy
and just out of reach
the intoxicating aroma
filling the room and dulling the senses
ease my pain
quiet my fears
anxiety fades to contentment
then it is easy
to be close to be touched
to be with you
making memories fuzzy
and just out of reach

Just thoughts...
I think I should feel like screaming, throwing stuff at you, and just kicking you out. Instead I don't know what to feel or even do. I feel lost, so lost and alone. I trusted you. And why now? Why? I'm sick and having to go through all these tests and doctors appointments. I haven't ate in over a month, I'm so weak. Is that why? Am I too weak? Not sexy enough? Am I mean or crazy? Or is she just better than me in every possible way. AHHH!! I'm tired of these games. I just don't get it, I don't get you. I always thought I could count on you and you wouldn't hurt me, obviously that's...

Does she
Does she know
I'm laying with my head on your chest
have you told her
where you are every night
intangeled in these sheets
does she know what you're doing
whispering sweet things
exhaling my name
like it's the definition of satisfactIon
has she noticed things just aren't the same
do you think she has a clue
and just when I'm about to ask
you turn to look at me
"Does he know?"

Manny
Wake me with the truth
panic from the night before resurfaces
tears pool in the corners of my eyes
I should have called
it would have changed things
right?
I could have saved you
no one's to blame
but I still feel guilty
forgive me
I didn't know
forgive me
panic from the night before resurfaces
tears pool in the corners of my eyes
I should have called
it would have changed things
right?
I could have saved you
no one's to blame
but I still feel guilty
forgive me
I didn't know
forgive me

Saturday
Sitting on the sidewalk
been walking for an hour
the bar closed at two
no one to call but you
I know what you'll say
know you're growing weary of me
the speech that will be given
I've heard a thousand different ways
And it will be the same as every other Saturday
pick me up take me to your apartment
give me your t-shirt so you won't
have to smell the men's cologne that clings to my clothes
Lay me in your bed
climb in behind me and hold me while we fall asleep
and in the morning I'll leave before you wake
because it...

Little boy
Sad little boy
who will be your victim today
mean little boy
you should watch what you say
is no one safe from your hateful nature
maybe you were raised to be spiteful
are you ignorant and fearful
so quick to cut others down
but what if the real problem
is inside you
pathetic little boy
grow up
who will be your victim today
mean little boy
you should watch what you say
is no one safe from your hateful nature
maybe you were raised to be spiteful
are you ignorant and fearful
so quick to cut others down
but what if the real problem
is inside you

To Be Beautiful
Push one foot in front of the other
Over and over the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement
Echo in my ears til there is no other noise
A steady pace and my mind wanders
Pain to be beautiful
So much pain
Hunger pains muscle pains
Pains in many other forms
Running starving
Months with no real food
Just disgusting replacement shakes
All to be beautiful
Mood swings pale skin dark circles
This isn't beauty this is sad
One foot in front of the other
So tired so weak
Just to be beautiful
Over and over the sound of my shoes hitting the pavement
Echo in my ears til there is no other noise
A steady pace and my mind wanders
Pain to be beautiful
So much pain
Hunger pains muscle pains
Pains in many other forms
Running starving
Months with no real food
Just disgusting replacement shakes
All to be beautiful
Mood swings pale skin dark circles
This isn't beauty this is sad
One foot in front of the other
So tired so weak
Just to be beautiful

Jose Guadalupe Vazquez Toledo
I love that you left me here
trying to figure out where I stand on my own
thinking I'd be fine
you could send a letter be back at any time
only for three months right
how dare you thrust all this responsibility
on a child
a child you claimed you love
left to tend to the woman
who after seven years
of hearing absolutely nothing
cries and has dreams and hopes
you will someday return
in my mind I know
I have accepted that you are gone
you will not meet my son
not know the person I have become
how surprised you would be...

Deepest Fears
Tears fall the same way they always have
burning a path down my face
and sad is just a word for an emotion
that does not describe how I feel
your words take up space in the room
leaving little else to be said of the matter
you will never love me as you have others
you will not stand and defend me as you have others
that were so frail no
I'm the one who can withstand all your torment
or so you assume, lashing out and howling like a beast
rip me at the seams that holds it all in
til you are content,completely satisfied
and I will take it all,...

Burn
I feel it burn
As it slides down
So warm such pain
The hissing is like white noise
And almost makes me deaf to your laugh
The smell is sickening
Sweet and metallic
You walk away satisfied
Your first middle and last initial
Branded into my skin
As it slides down
So warm such pain
The hissing is like white noise
And almost makes me deaf to your laugh
The smell is sickening
Sweet and metallic
You walk away satisfied
Your first middle and last initial
Branded into my skin
