Listen softly while she speaks, In tongues, talking of the world we know She says "You're stronger than you think" In her ignorance, she never grows It was the pain that crept in The fire that went out, the rain came down and Washed away her, Doubt It was the creature in her mind That sung in time, to a sorrow bone deep She waded, knee high The current stripped away All that she was and everything She intended to be, her dark eyes Shared dreams soaked by memory And it faded, like sunsets And all the pretty things she use to talk about It became a fading image cramped, Some place so far, she could never get out The dark stuck to her skin L

When young, so long ago All I wanted was truth and love And a scale to weigh my sorrow When I was naive To the bitterness of bereavement To the reality, of death When love meant forever When honesty was not A scarcity When I was young and carefree Soft and malleable Not changed by mistrust Not shaped by heartache When I was free The world was mine To take and life was beautiful When I was okay And every day did not feel so hard Like water slipping Through fingers, marked By selfish intentions And in my ignorance, I fell And in my naivety, I was undone And in my love, I was lost And in my youth, I was soft And in my freedom, I was beauti

And he asked the one thing he had been longing to know and she smiled softly, as if she saw all the answers in the stars, reflected in the dark of shadow. "Why are you not afraid?" And the spark faded from her eyes, the burning embers leaving her soul behind, she willed the words from her lips, "I let myself slip, I left myself go. How can I be afraid, when I crave sorrow?" He wondered and wished with all of his might, he worried for her, trapped in her endless night. And so he asked again with hope in his eyes, "Why are you not afraid?" And this time she sighed, keeping her words inside and merely sat as a stone, unmoving and untouched b

Good morning beautiful, Lift your head from that pillow Don't think of tomorrow Life's not going to live itself Good morning sunshine That lights up your life Gentle on your face, warming Your heart and soul Good morning saviour You save me each day I try to recall just when I knew Without a shade of doubt That love was for those Who knew how to grieve Good morning sister, Get up on your feet Stand alone and proud With a smile on your face And a pocket full of friends Good morning dear, Dear child in your own right You were once innocent and lovely Now shaped by experience Your eyes speak of pain Good evening baby, When you're alone in t

Creek, these bones of old Bend nimble and bold Shriek, the heart beats With a flick of the wrist It pumps to the rhythm of Blood is life and life is hard Shard, tear these words out In bold ink letters of mud Let it trickle down Til there's nothing left It's best, we never met again.

In this world, I am truly alone. Alone in my dreams, though they are filled with empty assurance, pretty pictures and feelings slapped on like kid's glue and stuck back together haphazardly like dry macaroni. It's these thoughts that see me stumble and fall, it's an endless blackness and I'm falling forever... Time hurts and thoughts make these feelings rise and fade, like tides in an endless ocean. Each tiny fragment of the day reminds me with the blistering heat of reality that I am small and insignificant, that I am so different in a so very strange way that very few love me for who I truly am. In this, I am lonely. In this, I am alone.

It's cold, stagnant Words are merely sounds, a hiss and a sigh Meaningless til I Screaming, til the words No longer hold My rapid tongue Has dug this hole Of mine. It's crystal, salt My eyes decay Still pools, hollow There's no words To describe this. Hiss, sigh, moan and lie This world will remain Happy and in pain My words are empty. Eyes never lie.

I've never felt In this heart of hearts If I ever feel I felt, with all my heart This space to breathe is not enough. These foundations of stone So deep, they grow I'd tear it all down, Just to see You live without sorrow. I'd shift mountains, With all that I am My strength is a river My faith will never drown The world is a speeding bullet Whirling past in this sea of passion I'd stop the world from turning, Tear the universe from its limbs Tie time tightly down To stop all movement and sound And if the world went hurling forward Space and time torn from my grip I'd step into the line of fire Just to see you safe.
