Nerves
Tied into hopeless balls of yawn
Within the cramped pits of my stomach
And it is dancing a waltz; wild and free
And it makes me laugh, but not in a good way
Because all I can feel is
Panic
It drowns me in its power
As it screams within my ears, like a wild thing
Whose boundaries knew no limit
And I can't breathe...
Let me go.

Neither will what I try to write for you
but if I try

and fail like I always do
will you still read it?

Love Disoriented
Fancy meeting you like this
out here in this bone orchard
Nary thought it would exist
yet here are souls are tortured
A spirit chain
each link is taught
Entwined remains
though we forgot
the battle on this very spot
how oft we had lamented
of the shackles that
were bound and wrought
Love disoriented
When the day holds no meaning, and life has no purpose.
When the waves are to high and you can't seem to surface.
When you're lonely and empty inside.
When you feel that you should hide.
Push a little harder and walk another step.
You have purpose, you just haven't noticed yet.
Down my wrists,
Off my hands.
My liquid of life,
On the ground in lands.
Tears are falling,
There he stands.
Not a second look,
Not even a demand.
His eyes hollow,
Hollowed by pain.
So here we stay,
In the pouring rain.
My blood is falling,
Never to be mine again.
The knife is crosses,
Over my soft skin.
Red seeping through,
The pain can begin.
Left behind,
Blood falls.
Emptiness is here,
The shadow calls.
Cuts run deep,
That's it,
That's all.

Great Expectations
Great Expectations
Turn up the music loud
You still can't drown them out
The voices of your expectations
Pounding in your ears like a drum beat
Rattling your head and breaking through your ribs
The music shakes your chest
You're trying to ignore them
But the words still crackle through
Like broken, splintered bones
You can't drown them out
You can't pound them out
They'll ring in your ears until the day you die
You want to scream and shout until your throat is raw
Just to hear something over their voices
But your voice is too quiet
It can't be that loud
No matter how much you shout
No matter how loud you get
Their voices
Ascention
There's something to live for when you're around,
A light in my life that is most profound,
A solid wall that blocks off the end,
A protective shield where my mind can mend.
It's hard to explain what you mean to me,
The smile in your eyes allows me to be free,
It's more than love, it's something more,
It's all that stops me from locking the door.
While you still stand I can live my life,
With this support I can escape the knife,
Move on, dream for the first time,
I'm looking up. It is now that I climb.
So many words have been said
So many words left to say
Not enough to express your feelings
Feelings so dark as the night
Opening your mouth is easy
Opening your heart isn't
Even though the solution might be close
Your eyes were shut for it.
Now, your eyes are closed
your mouth is closed
you heart is closed
Sleep well...
