LOVE (Remove filter)
that secret
a wronged wash in the what might have been
where we fidget like fleas on a rabbits hide
and verses drafted in the cross stitched sky
cannot disguise the well-practiced curses
with the pre-packed presumption of lilies
and static
abstract amongst the sheets
your limbs offer a confusion of choice
where context is lost

Alan (Henning)
Its Saturday night at the taxi rank
street angels are steering girls to the cabs;
legs over tits like a Picasso and
it’s wild, and it’s laughter, and songs are buzzin’.
So can you hear the people weeping?
can you see the children dying?
All you knew was love, Alan, all you knew was love
as you drove your taxi through this world.
And the laughter and the love in t...

I guess I'm afraid to love you
I put on my mask when I woke up in the morning.
The silent grins and the innocent eyes.
Filtering the truth I feared could dry the sea,
I smiled and laughed, they thought I never cry.
Through the reflection, I saw myself.
I stared at those eyes and sometimes I don’t know who it was.
My heart would’ve repel itself from this body, if it has the chance to succeed.
Like a bir...

Deny
You deny the truth that you love.
You deny the truth that you’re insane.
You deny the truth that you’re murdering your inner self.
You deny the truth that you want the unthinkable,
cos you know you’re crazy
and you don’t mind.

Demon I can't live without
“Looking at you is like looking at myself in the mirror. Only that you’re the demon in me where I wanted to cast away. But then again, you are also the drugs I can’t live without.”

You came in right after he broke my heart.
You came in right after he broke my heart
The crack was too wide for you to mend
You came in right after he broke my heart
I dragged you across the yard to feel my pain.
You gave me your all just to make me feel secure
I can see love written all over your eyes
You bathe me in those eyes everyday
And yet all I could give was just a piece of my heart.
You tried to fill the crack in my ...

Serendipity
You’re like a perfect picture of everything
Your mind, your laugh
That genuine smile
You’re like a breath of fresh air
So pure, curable
It’s insane how you made me feel
You want me to believe I’m sane.
I almost lost in all hopes
Love, life, happiness in whole
It was a downfall, endless hole
Somehow you came into my life
And proved the world isn’t that bad after all.
Your words ...

DREAMING FOR ALL TO SEE
You say that I'm a dreamer
and so I may well be
but the dreams I have
aren't just for me,
they're for you and all to see.
The dream is of love,
of life free from harm,
a dream of peace and
shelter from the storm.
The dream is the lifeblood
flowing deep in our veins,
the dream will always be
for all to see
and all that remains.
The dream is t...

Silence
Have you ever thought about this girl?
The girl that does her hardest to please you
To go out of her way.
To take a fall to take a shot
But all you do it block her out
Hurt her to the point of no returning.
Silence.
She decided that being silent is the best way.
No one will bring her to her knees
Making her want someone to see.
What exactly she needs.
The silence t...

THE BALLAD OF THE LOOPY HAMSTER
"You'll be safe, I promise", reassured his mum.
“But its not you who’ll end up sat on your bum!”
A conversation they’d had most every week
but it didn’t make his knees feel any less weak.
“Now come along, Harry, stop messing about,
go finish your homework whilst I clean up this house.
The show doesn’t start till the end of the week
and all this chatter is making me Squeak...

Not mine
Different stories
Different people
haven't you heard of me?
I've heard of you though..
I've seen you smile and cry.
But it seems like you haven't noticed me.
I was there long before.
I was there when you needed held.
I hold your hand in the dark.
But its been so long.
Distance tore us apart.
But it's sad how it came back together.
And now I'm in holding reach.

DAD
There was a man I knew,
not too close, not too far,
as a child he was there
to tend to my scars.
A man with a past,
of that I had no doubt,
a man, when provoked,
who knew how to shout.
A happy man
with a smile for all,
he'd always be there to
pick me up when I'd fall.
And though never far away,
we were never very close,
a sign of those times

CURTAIN CALL
How do you say goodbye
to everyone you love,
your family and friends
who you hold high above.
How do you say goodbye
to the one in your heart;
your soul mate, from who
none could tear you apart.
Your night and your day
and in every sweet way,
no words could express
what you're needing to say.
How do you say goodbye
to the child in your hand

Mad
I've became so mad at myself for giving in
To what I want
Thinking it would be the greatest time
In my life
But oh no
What a dissappointment
I should have walked away
For you, to play a game that you hate being played.
Play in on me and my heart
Just to get the saticifaction of your unhealthy habit
Like you enjoy living in your dark habitat.
Like an animal holding ...

Remember
Remember
Remember all the times we had?
Holding my hands in the wind
Listening to our music
I did what I could to make you proud
But don't you dare forget
How horrible you made me feel.
I gave you my life and soul
My heart in hand and everything that could be imaginable.
Just to break me on our anniversary.
And lead me on like a little toy of yours.
Remember when I...

I Love You Like..
-the ramblings of another young girl-
written: 4/29/15
I love you like the flames love the wood
that it claims
with its fiery passion.
I love you like the sea loves the shore,
as it kisses the soft sand
with each passing wave.
I love you like the sun loves the moon,
as it hides its burning beauty just so the moon can shine,
even with all of its imperfectio...

THE BALLAD OF BOB THE BUN
Our friend, Bob The Bun,
just loved to have fun
and exciting adventures galore,
he’d laugh all day
and jump and play
and roll around on the floor.
Its a very rare sight
to see a bun take flight
but one day he went flying so high,
he held onto a kite
by the tail, so he might
get to see the world from the sky.
Now, whilst he was high,
something low ca...

He too had a dark side
Knocked at my window
He mumbled; drove me out
Gleaming that evening was;
No one ever knew about
Quiet for a while, we stared
His “warmth” asked my plight
‘Dragged those stubborn rays; or
Faced some restless light?’
Blamed him for his betrayal
I sighed, nodded & replied;
“mine isn’t luminous like yours,
life is dull and deprived”
Ah! Borrowed is my...

Momento Mori
“Chin
down
slightly,
head towards finger, keep going, keep going, there – stop.
Eyes to me.”
Sequestered devotion to bemused muse.
She stares back digressive, dictated expression.
Seeing now not the man, but the Brady stand.

DONT GIVE UP
I run my fastest
But still get beat.
I land on my head
When I should be on my feet.
I try to move forward
But I am stuck in rewind.
Why do I keep at it?
I wont be left behind.
The harder I am thrown
The higher I bounce.
I give it my all
and thats all that counts.
In first place
Myself, I seldom find.
So I push to the limit
I wont be left behind.

What is an alcoholic?
What is an alcoholic?
When I was 2 you were all I knew
I had no idea what the bubbly juice was
But I knew it was good and it came from you
At 3 I can only remember seeing you hyper
Never understood your words were you speaking proper?
I don’t know what happened but mommy had to go
Now im just left here no soul 3 years old.
Grandma and Grandpa are extremely nice

Now She Knows
This desire we've searched to reach, The feeling of euphoria isn't matched by another Even these words don't seem worthy of its worth With you in my earth, everything seems plausible, Like the globe is finally in my hand instead of resting upon my shoulders, Each day gets better with no intention of letting her go My calling to construct this picture unpainted like before, Just so she can ...

Fearful and Trembling
I slide down a rope
into the empty chasm
which is your cold heart.
I light a fire
in the depths of your despair.
You hate me anyway.
It rains.
An ocean is born;
it swallows me whole.
Darkness engulfs me.
Surrounded by other misguided souls.
I feel their cages;
I discover mine.
