Star crossed love
My love is the sun
He brightens the world
His existence the key
To unlocking me
I am the moon
I wait for my sun
Until he is done
For when we meet
Just for a moment
Then I am alone
Left in the dark
A dim light in the sky
Quiet and shy
A brief moment
Of meeting
In the morning
Passes in delight
Then once again
He brightens the sky
On the other side
I'm evening...

Even in the night she writes
She lies in her bed, her electric blanket on
The lights are off, she is warmer than the sun
She likes it this way, it helps her forget
That her sunshine is not ready for her yet
He struggles on his own, stressing alone
The walls he is trying so hard to shatter
Are still standing tall, towering and strong
He feels like his attempts don't matter
When he sleeps, she stays awake
Fi...

Problems with the Pedestal
Hey, so, what ya lookin for?
A freak in the sheets
A lady on the streets
A baker and a maid
Who'll clean the kitchen floor?
A beauty contest winner
A professional sweet talker
A super fast dog walker
A pure and chaste sinner
Where do I fall in it all?
Am I pretty enough for you
Skinny enough that I'll do
Am I sweeter than sugar
A fierce and enticing tiger
Who cooks the way you ...

Imagine a world
What's wrong with a world
Where free movement is free
Where the soil all over is
Neither for you nor for me
Where we can move house
To another island altogether
And not worry about
How to travel wherever
Is it not fair to say
The world belongs to all
Not only just
Those who want it to fall
They destroy our humanity
As they prohibit our freedom
Passp...

Mind's own darkness
There's a gnawing scratching at the door
It's unlocked but doesn't open easily
The gnawing stops, dropping to the floor
A gentle thud sends shivers so eerie
The door creaks open, slightly ajar now
Edging closer and closer something
Moves slowly towards the gap somehow
It's invisible to those who are seeing
But not to those who are looking carefully
To most, the door opens of its own ac...

Pixel
You're just pixels on a screen... now
Little dots, the cutest I've ever seen
I miss when you were with me... how
Did we end up so far apart and lonely?
You shook my life like an earthquake
Drank me like your favourite milkshake
Until we realised it wasn't right for us
Now I miss you more than my early bus
Took you for granted when it was easy
Only I didn't know then I wasn't free
We'...

A walk down the street
Liquid droplets on my skin
Acid rain? Panic again
Fellow walker on a journey
Smile. It's my style.
Will they smile back? I ask
Yes! He did
Will this one respond in like?
Not quite.
The first sign of cold hard pity.
Not my city.
Maybe now I'll dodge a frown
I'm a clown
A strained reply shows me why
Eyes full of blame.
Why should I feel shame? And now
Disdain.

Universal language
Love speaks to everybody
It's a universal language
It connects us all over the world
We use it to speak globally
Everyone has felt love
And everyone will feel it
It's what connects us humans
And stops us walking alone
Love can crush the world
And lift it back up again

If I die tomorrow
If I die tomorrow
I want you all to know
That I always meant well
My life has been swell
And that's thanks to you all
To my mum most of all
We've argued and fought
But not for a second thought
That the love was lost
Because thats a high cost
To my life especially.
That's why I have hidden
So many awful things
Which by you were forbidden
But life always brings
These trials to...

Endless optimism
When the sun shines, I just think about you
All the pleasures of this world are not pleasurable
When you're absent from my side.
I await the day our worlds collide
And merge together for once and for all.
Uncertainty riddles my mind
So far the world seems unkind
The beautiful moments made painful
By the gnawing prospect of unfulfillment
It's out of my hands now.
As the sun shine...

Crossroad
When I think of growing old, you're there
With you I would like to travel everywhere
But something is holding me back
My life is not on a clearly set track
I don't feel warmth or love towards you
Not in the way that I always used to
Something between us has changed
My heart is neither free nor chained
It's seems we're at an impasse
At a crossroads if you will
I'll wait for this da...

I want
I want to be beautiful for you
I want you to be beautiful too
I want us to be perfect together
You deserve to have the best
You deserve to be the best
You deserve us to be perfect
I want to be brilliant for you
I want you to be brilliant too
I want us to both be amazing
We're in the gutter looking at the stars.
I want us to be free of all painful scars.
We're plagued by mis...

Lingering Promise
You emptied my heart of all it's sorrow
And then promised me a new tomorrow
I sit here and I wait
For news of a date
My patience runs up and down
As I try to eliminate my frown
You promised me a new tomorrow
Now I wait with newfound sorrow
