it is to feel without the sense of touch,
it is to understand tranquility of the soul,
and absorb the meaning of eternal presence!

Something to SurviveI couldn't see it
Blame the way the viscid blackness
Of your soul
Exterminates the sunlight
Couldn't feel it
Sinking in your tar like sand
And blowing bubbles
Like a boiling child
Not loved enough to understand
That living
Isn't the same as having...

Dangerous WordsMy bones can be broken by stones and sticks,
But cruel words can also get in their licks.
At times, it's more than bones that take a hit -
Other parts are vulnerable, I admit.
Sadly, words...

I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT ITI don’t want to talk about it
How you broke my virgin heart
How you trampled on me
Gave up on me in the middle
Of a dirty mess, a hopeless tunnel!
I don’t want to talk about it
How you...

AddictionWhy have you plagued me?
Why have you latched on my soul not ready to leave?

Why have you cried me to sleep?
Why have you...

Blueberry SkiesHer silhouette is draped in soft moonlight
While an unseen sorrow cloaks her eyes
With traces of a light lavender mist
Hidden under dark blueberry skies
She's oblivious to the lightning's dance
Deaf to the sound of distant...

Trying to forget uMy life, empty
My heart, pained
Popping pills down my throat
heart racing, blood boiling
as I indulge myself in carnal desires
Drown another glass
seeking thrills on the
fine line that separates life and death,
hoping to forget u
Another whiff(overdose)
only to stay...

NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKENNOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN
With your head, roll out drums,
Mighty trumpets in their stead,
And like Eagles soar higher in the sky,
The skies of your mind,
Do not crumble on vain things,
And do not hijack your...

Behind The Eight BallHis chapstick soft lips
Distracted me
From the perverse taste
Of stale cigarettes
He inhaled
Between every other word
But it didn’t
Make my sagacious heart
Uneasy
He was winsome
With that throaty laugh

As My Body RotsAs I succumb to the wounds you've inflicted
gasping for air, for life,
eyes bloodshot, cheeks wet,
Will you love me then?
My cold, bloodied body will lay lifeless in your bed,
my crimson seeping into the sheets.
What will you...

HerLet the rain fall, let it pour,
Open all the windows and doors.
Slow the footsteps around the house,
Make all the voices quiet, just like a mouse.
Can you hear the sorrows howl...

Goodbye BabyI once had a heart of gold,
Now it is black and cold,
Seeing him kiss another,
Wishing I had listened to my mother.
Disrespectful and manipulating,
We are no longer dating.
