Heartbreak (Remove filter)
Turned Tables
The sadness that swells inside my soul
Is taking hold and I cannot control
The pictures and memories that make me so blue
I wish it was though I never knew
Why can’t you leave me alone like you’ve done before
While I chased you all you did was ignore
Now the tables have turned and you're crying for me
When all I want from you is to be set free
You’ve done too much now...

Solemn Suffering
To the depths of despair I shall descend
As this pain I feel sees no end
The pain you have made me feel
Runs so deep it makes me ill
I doubt that I’ll ever heal
From the words and images that you’ve laid
Far too deep in my brain
I cannot sleep I cannot eat
I’m at my ends, my last defeat
Oh how I wished we’d never meet
For then I’d never know about your wrongs
And h...

Us
I sang a song
upon that hill
wishing you would hear
but the trees and birds
were all that heard
for you were nowhere near
I raised a note
so full of hurt
up to the heavens high
and without you,
I laid my pain
upon that midnight sky
I cursed the stars,
forevermore
my words so black with hate
but they cursed back
and left me ...

Birdsong
i’d lock myself up
so sealed away
in a tower, high up in the sky
away from all else
bleak, sorrowful peace
would give my own tears
time to dry
i could wake up alone
in this castle of hurt
and feel my dreams fade away
but the scene about us
where you stand at my side
is the one i still dream
to this day
i could hear the birds sing
as...

Tearboats
Cry me a river
so I know you can feel
the heartache which splits me apart
in hopes you will come
with a stick of glue
get me that violin
and sing me a song
for I’d play,
until my fingers fell off
just to hear you sing along
or come kiss me goodnight
bless me with your gentle touch
and look at me with those glittering stars
so I may fall asleep

Rosebush
I want to drape the page
with memories, love
with wandering thoughts and
painful regret
I want to wonder
what I could be, and would
if I took my words and
made them come true
or is that unwise?
to wish for a change
for the dreams to leave my mind
and join the sunlight around me
I want to climb the tallest mountains
and trees
I would fall i...

Bitter Beer
I used to utter your name delicately
like it was poetry.
Just as how perfume lingers on a person,
The sweet smell of cherry blossoms
accompanied your name
whenever it walked out my mouth.
But now all it leaves,
Is a taste so foul.
Your love was like alcohol to me,
It left me feeling euphoric at first,
But after the effect had worn out,
All I was left with w...

I thank you for not being good enough
You pulled me into your orbit
when I needed your help
and so, I made you my centre
to centre myself
That was my first mistake
I looked inside you
for places where I could hide
I hoped to run from reality
into the delusions of your mind
I was happy to believe you were one of a kind
chuffed upon chuffed that you were mine
and I felt adored
grateful to m...

Just A Man
a dream of mine came true
as I lay next to you
losing my worries in the wind
little did I know
I had naught to show
from the heart I was eager to win
as I carried on
in blinded pursuit
my path lit by your auburn eyes
I lost myself there
in your hands and your hair
waiting for my doubts to die
now left here I am
to think of what was
and ...

Leverage
I’ve peeled off my skin for you
I’ve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being
Down to my soul
I’ve let you gobble up my spirit
I’ve let you slurp up my mind
Lick the lasting crumbs
of my emotions
Everything in me
Everything making me, me
All that constructs me
All...

Temporaries
You were supposed to be temporary.
A Mr. Right Now
But you were so persistent when I was so hesitant.
You opened your arms when I shied away.
So believe me when I say, that it hurt to be betrayed.
You looked me in the eyes when you told your bold face lies.
I wanted to believe you, I almost believed you, because deep down I didn't want to lose you.

not-love
to pass you by is to long
for you close, lips sweet despite her
claim’s acrid taste. you wave.
your wandering hand runs up my thigh like
vines cling to ancient stone structures.
we make a sick picture, half-past-drunk
on years of tension, crushed
between mouths and confession in the dark.
you look at me as though
i might not run laps around the room
in hopes of catchi...

Starting Today
As of today
I'll only be in your memory,
a trunk full of remembrances
you’ll want to throwaway
and remove forever
imagining you’ll forget me
From today on
I'll just be an empty space in your bed
you cannot embrace
and my scent on your pillow
that you will not forget
Starting today
I'll only be
a worn out image in your dreams
that will hush the pa...
