Leila May 2013

Never once has he stayed
Too many times delayed
Here then gone
Games prolonged
Every time misleading
My heart deceiving
They come to me like an apocalypse
Every moment the catalyst
Reveling and toying
In my security destroying
Every time the same
His words cannot explain
Loneliness grows stronger
Time seems longer
And I cannot adjust
There's no man I can trust

Sundown

I hope to see him again some day
Like I saw him in times before
Resting under vivid sunsets
When Michael knew nothing of war
I pray I will always remember
The love I lost too soon
Forever, as if he never left
And still basked in the glow of the moon
So before this season has faded
Before dark waters reach the shore
I hope to rest under the red sun's rays
Like Michael will rest no more

Poppies and Parables

How can a moment so calm become this chaotic.
I never thought our downfall would be narcotics.
Why is this surprising, after so many years?
My hero has been disappeared.
Why does she need that pill?
We all suffer the pain she's trying to ****.
This house is tainted, anger's easily riled.
She got what she wanted, I never got be a child.
Any identifiable traits of humanity are gone.
To pain pills I am now a pawn.

May 12th

I’m in love with the 12th of May
A love I cannot completely convey
I wish that I could always say
The sun is shining as it shines that day
The birds and the flowers both betray
The warmth of an unseasonal ray
If only poetry could portray
The brilliance seen at the break of day
I count the seconds til underway
And I hope and I pray
To live forever like it's the 12th of May

My Ointment's Fly 2

It's always been a lie
I was naive to even try
To all along comply
I heard the hue and cry
But continued to deny
Your fingers were in each pie
You can eat up while you lie
On the bed you've made whereby
I hope that you die

A Wishlist

I want to experience freedom like borders don't exist
to experience life like time no longer persist
to live humbly and die gracefully
to accept who I am and be proud
to never cry aloud

A Fun House

This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone
These walls take sanity for fun
The longer you stay, the deeper undone
The air thickens and weighs down on you like a ton
It will constrict every vain in you, one by one
Arrive with confidence and leave with none
When you get the chance, you should run
You don't want to be here for the big guns
I'm talking heat like fire from dragons
All the glass in the windows blackens
Your mind is weak and maddens
Thoughts haunt you and sadden
You'll never be able to forget what happens
