Trying to forget uMy life, empty
My heart, pained
Popping pills down my throat

hoping to forget u
Another whiff(overdose)

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,

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
After...

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.

We are no longer dating.

I'm a bastardSometimes, I don't recognize the face I see,
Haunted by the echoes of who I used to be.
Influences, reflections, blood ties that bind,
Leave me feeling lost, leaving scars behind.
Ashamed of the shadows...

my heart?
you did not break my heart
you COULD not break my heart
I utilized all the “Yous” that came before
constructing barriers that you,
in your most formidably malodorous
and vehemently vile self,
couldn’t penetrate in an eon of...

Chasing rainbowsChasing rainbows
When all hope just seems to fade,
When the darkness throws more shade,
When your heart can't catch a break,
Negativity you can't shake...no more

Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight
Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...

Take you with meOur minds are the initial storage for information gathered by our dear senses.
Yes, that's already given.
But have we ever wondered how it says longer than we expected?
Like how can it repeat certain memories from the...

The words you didn't meanYou spoke the fears I had confined
Caged up in the back of my mind
I told myself they were not true
But now they're back, because of you
Once diminished, doubt was gone
Your affirmations brought out dawn
But now...

My Heart AcheIn the quiet of the night, under the pale moon's light,
A heart whispers softly, burdened with its plight.
The echoes of laughter, now silent in the halls,
Memories like specters, on the mind's walls.
The ache is a...

The Moon For StarsBeen searching for a love, a home;
a place to call my own.
A place where I am wanted,
welcomed, cherished; down to my bones.
I dream of gentle fingertips
that trace over my skin.
A soul who always chooses...

I'm Starting to ForgetI'm Starting to forget you
I wish I wasn't.
When is your birthday?
What are your fears?
I can't really believe
It's been so many years.
What color is your hair?
Is it curly like mine?
What clothes did you wear?
Whats your Favorite...
