You know them
beautiful yet
they frighten you
climbing into
innocence
and then they just
haunt you forever

Frankenstein
is just life

Long
Lonely
dark midnights
beautiful yet
this dark night is a
nightmare in the making

There was a man
he carried a sheep
He warmed the sheep with his hands
There was a man
he carried this lamb
across deserts and unknown lands
He had a flock of 1000 sheep
but he lost this one
so he traveled across the lands
and found this lost lamb
Then he carried it back
on his shoulders
he sacrificed everything
this one determined man

I toy with you
and send you mixed signals
My eyes are just there to look at the outside
These ears are only here to listen to what I want to hear
My looks stun you and I remind you of that everyday
I never tell you how pretty you are to make myself feel better
Whenever I kiss you it’s only entangle you more in my trap
This way I can break your heart again
But I eventually come back bearing a two-faced grin
That way I can start breaking your heart
again and again

I see the shower floor
The grated tiled housing tiny drops of water
soap cloaks me as it is my only protection
the fresh scent of vanilla is what helps me
It helps me get through my day
I earn compliments meant for the soap
I earn smiles and whistles thanks to the soap
I feel the oil begin to sink into my skin
My heart rejects it
My brain tells me no
My eyes and nose say yes
I need compliments to make me feel good
don’t I?

I was once had pure skin the kind that all loved the feeling of
It was soft and gentle like water that runs over smooth pebbles
Time passed and wrinkles twisted and spiraled around my skin turning me old
They enveloped my face turning me ugly
The wrinkles brought bruises on even the slightest bumps
My bones lost marrow and teeth lost happiness
The wrinkles brought sickness to my lungs
I struggled to breathe and my lungs struggled to fight
Then I lost the fight with time
as we all will do
and I happily pranced into the light with my new soft skin
