Black Fox
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Evil demons
Red light demons
Frost breath
Winter death
Keep harm with her
God's plans so sure
Meals with family bread
Forget every word she said
Suicidal thoughts
Self-harm plots
Just me and you
Guilty conscience, dinner for two
I'll be everything you never wanted to
Sleep soundly tonight
Silent screams and silent bite
I guess you lied
My patience is tried

July Part II
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
What's to stop them?
In a panic
Once turned around
And sacred
We will meet beneath the lights again
And I'll turn for you
I'll do anything for you
**** if you will your pure intentions
And have everyone alone
Along
And then we will meet again
This is more
This will turn out better
This chance
But willingly terrified
You can lay down
Music bursting through the seams
Smoke near the shadow of your face
The lights illuminate us one last time
Never leave
Let me be what I want
Never leave

July Part I
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Fist clenched
Arm torn
Head turned
So things turn dark for one or two moments
Ghost made present
Your breath leads the way
The smoke from the fireworks
Magnificent display
Tell me once more
What was it like?
You held close for the beat
But my heart
Was led astray
Ashes near the ground
And what became of her?

The Transported Men
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
The lights go low
On this city tonight and you
Are you waiting?
Scared
I am
Scared
He often looked into my eyes
Maybe said it once
Maybe twice
Mentioned it was always like this
Vibrating
And echoes moved past
Take a bow
Leaning over my balcony
Stretched out in the moonlight
Waiting
Come closer
I know I should have left
Run away
But still afraid
And the rain
It won't stop coming down
Hit repeat
Light me one up
Let's go through this again
You comfort me
That's what he said

Bionic
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Pity
Isn't it too?
That as I neared a reproaching breath
That I should be pulled under
And with no one to hold me
Funny
Isn't it too?
I saw you running alone the shore
Once more
And kept running
As I swam away
You opened the cellar door

Parking Lot
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Thinking of you today
I hope
You find the strength
To leave behind reasons
And their undoing
A lesser man
Would leave these stories untold

Asteroid Blues
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Wicked
And how could you know?
Lonely blood
And my heart pounds
These are my friends
Betraying the tide as it comes in once more
Walking
And destined above all
To be alone
No one
And anyone knows
Just how high you'll go
Alone

In McDonalds
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Please, just hold my hand
Like you did back then
And if I see you again
Would you believe life is in full bloom
Without a trace of remorse
Transported
To a future
Drowsy and distant
Blacked out
The clock can't be right
In all my ways
In all my faults
Dearly yours

Portugal Immortal
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Really looking back
I noticed there are many different kinds of people

Some were meant to leave
Some were meant to stay

Some needed you
Some wanted you
Some were closer than a brother
Some were very far away

Some loved you with all their heart
Some never loved you
Some were mothers
Some were sisters
Some looked right through the smoke
Some couldn't see tomorrow

Some needed saving
Some needed to drown

I've felt them all
Follow the map

Manhattan Flat
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
I'm not saying everything is perfect
I'm not saying things are amazing
I'm not saying life is perfect
I'm not saying people are amazing

I just want to stay in bed
(warm and safe for now)

Wolfgang
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Language, anguish
Wrapped myself in blankets
Thinkin' about girls that consider me strange-ish
Well who really cares
Givin' off looks, and creepy stares
Stalkin' and talkin'
Chills and sidewalk chalkin'
Layin' in bed with you
Makin' plans we'll never do
Pretty girl, anywhere, I'll take you to
Just wanna kiss,
And kick it too

Sleeping tonight, feels so wrong
Alone, tonight, feels so long
But you call, talkin' *****
We up till seven-thirty
You know I'm right here
Let me whisper in your ear
Let's fu- I mean make love
And then maybe, if push comes to shove
I'll let you act just like a white dove

Scheming, dreaming, it's all seeming
A little hot, but not shot
All my plans and secrets too
Cause when I'm in your bed
I'll stay lovin' you

Number One
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
I have a rage inside me that cannot be measured

And a love inside me that cannot be fathomed

If I cannot indulge in one,

I will fall into the other

Endlessly

Prison Mattress
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
It happened one night
Amongst the cheers and patterns of conversations
Love turned to hate
Thought you could be alive again
But when you turned the handle
You misplaced one thing
And in turn the past could prove
When you murdered me
You forgot about the blood stains
That were left on your memory
And in this way,
I can never die

Daytona Beach Pier
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
I didn't know anything about a ******
I was called from sleep to be told your love had died
The lanes and lights passing you by
But your path never strayed
Your mind became lost
Because the enduring sounds of the waves
Kept you up at night
I'm still here
And now, a knock resonates at my motel door

Clan
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Your lungs keep steady rhythm
But let your hands shake
Passing by the moonlit streets
I will let you lie restless
And hope that you're okay
Second level parking
I wait for you there
Like a moth to light

Sworn
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
You will always adore her
Always
Even with her hands around your throat
Especially then
A ton of love
Soon to be followed
A ghost

You Now Listen
Rhet Toombs Jan 2015
Twirling, swirling, killing time
It's midnight as I wait for you
Sixty odd days to go
Driving
Being ripped apart
Birthday lunch next door
Invisible empire
My high-school crush
And then, I said:
That's how you dance,
With lit cigarette in hand

— The End —
