I could be your reflective surface
reflecting over everything
all you'll see is what you want
that touches and plays with how you think

My eyes should tell you
how much anyone
...cares
about what you think

but that is not what you want to see
thus no bother to me
so please
continue...
um, it is intentionally ambiguous. Just picture someone you hate when you read it

all smiles aside
then fall to ground
sweet scrape of trickling blood
like melting ice
dripping
from your own body

the smile returns
when you realize
you are not made of glass
you did not shatter
you are a
magnificent machine
Elijah Almond May 2014
some people's brains are
where knowledge goes to die
a simple prisoner
who only is allowed for speaking lies

I could tell you the truth
you might not like what your hear
seems hardly my fault
your lies you hold so dear

I don't have time
to play the silly games
lying just wastes
all my energy

you don't have to like me
I'm not too crazy about you
just being honest
I'm weird and so are you
I like Harry Potter, what can I say... I wish more people were like Luna. Just call it like they see it. No hesitation. No fear.

by the scarlet
across the sea
i sit quietly

the sun shines
the fan blows
the wind runs free

so little to do
so much to see
dread swimming far
but unaware

of my smile

somewhere hope lies in wait
hunting hide and seek
thinking it has hidden
about not being sad and cynical about your life for a day
Elijah Almond May 2014
fear not your fate born
bless your lost loves

you are alive
the sun is rising

smile again
fear of the unknown

is the dark cave
where the weak hide
Elijah Almond May 2014
i'm your huckleberry
yes, I'm coughing blood
the glass is broken
death is smiling while kissing my tongue

i'm your huckleberry
the white devil on the black horse
play a game with me
and you can fall as well

barely a problem
worth a listen to tell
we can laugh together
in a bar in hell

i'm your huckleberry
this time drinks are on me
i'm not angry at you
in eternity we'll have time to see

we were always friends
who only had fun being enemies

this time you can trust me

I'm your huckleberry
"I'm your huckleberry"  means I'm your unlikely hero - for those not familiar with that particular slang
Elijah Almond May 2014
what have you done?
quick
run
rinse

do what you have to dispense

keep the dance up
while your mind plays
in many eyes
you're just in the way

though smile as well
some cups are full
there is a scarlet castle
built across a sea for you
