sorry (Remove filter)
Heal my wounds
I pull the black dagger
From my heart
The weight of my armour
Now a fluid mercury
Not a poison to me
A release
I steep to one knee
Chest free
A pour of soft gold down your slender arm
Sheds the silver mercury away
Fills the wound that I
Cast upon myself
Your fingers brush me
As though they are lillies in my garden of Eden
Lustful inhale of...

How many?
Two hundred sextillion stars
In our universe
Thirty-five trillion blood cells
Bodily dispersed
Seventy-thousand decimal places
Someone memorised for Pi
Five thousand visible suns
Light the night sky
Two and a half billion seconds
The extent of one person's life
Thirty-three percent truly believe
After death, there’s an afterlife
Forty million sperm
In one e...

How Far Sorry Goes
You'd be surprised
How far your sorry goes
It floats out through the air
To where, nobody knows.
(One moment spoken, and in another moment gone)
You'd be surprised
How far your sorry goes
So many times
It never even leaves your throat.
(And its those you've never said
That last the longest in my head)
But most of all,
You'd be surprised
How far your sorry goes
If it were meant

Sorry, I missed me
I drifted off into a reality where
soft sounds sadly rotted
into hard cacophony,
where people lived
loveless lives
and the arguments
that at one time
had seemed so far off
turned up on the doorstep,
wiped their dirty feet
on the old, worn out mat,
and entered in
to destroy the peace,
turned it into a relentless torture,
returned it to its distorted state.

REGRET
Set my heart free of chain
Don't break my heart again
Live your world keep me alone
I regret to be yours at all.
Since we met on that "…." Day
You're still acting the play
How to believe yourself today
since you're hiding your goal.
God helps guilty to regret
But you decided and insist
Only to make mistakes a lot
Now get ready to stop or fall.

I'm Sorry
Why say I'm sorry
for something in which
you had no part?
Because, shallow as those
two words may seem...
the gesture plays
a pivotal role in
healing a broken heart.

My love
My love, I let you down
I promised I'd be there but started to drown
My love, I was in over my head
Why did we pass ships at night as we climbed into bed
My love, the only love for me
I just want to say sorry, I am so fucking sorry
My love, I see your face everywhere
There's not one other face that could compare
My love, my beautiful friend
You were ...

Sorry, I'm temporarily done
Sorry buddy for what's gone on
If only you had actually known
How much that I sacrificed for you
And this friendship that I thought was true
I honestly stood by you always
I was the friend that would have stayed
But in the end it was you that betrayed
Me in the most hurtful of ways
We had a history that we kept a mystery
Because it wasn't knowledge that we wanted freed
Why is that a...

Improv
Soullessly starring into the air
As her body laid lifeless
All this time the Stifled screams
Shut away to keep them at bay,
Any chance to show remorse
Shut down and accused of lies.
If I could tell you one last thing
I love you would be the words to say,
Now I can't see you again
I see the truth that was buried within
I can't help but blame a part of me
As ...

When I lie.
There is me...lying.
Not lying like you say.
Lying on the floor, lying like I say.
Begging, weeping, asking.
You carnival figure, you.
You war hero, you.
You champion, you.
One leg propped upon my stomach.
Where are your gold stamps, your badges, your medals?
The trophy you stand on is all battered.
You have laid me out on the floor, the doormat
Withholding the welcome sign.
You roll m...
