You fabricate
Your paper mache heart
With the hollow voices
Of the men you love
You subjugate
Loves binding strings
Making something meaningless

You wander
Wonder about what’s beyond
Gather
The looks and stares from everyone

They can’t see
Inside, what is happening
Black blood
Coursing to an empty shell
What once was is gone away

And there were two
One to give in
And one to refuse
But it’s not me
I swear it’s not me
That’s talking to you
Something is changing
Splitting deep inside
I am trapped behind
The person I hide
Smoke rises slowly
To ceiling where I reside
And the fuel burns
As it goes down
Where memories die
I’m thinking in a new way
A new way, not the good kind
And my world is ending
But my body will survive
In this twisted form I give
The twisted words I say
I tell them all to you
Inching hearts closer
Bodies sicken
My skin is getting closer
Closer to friction
Come, please come soon
The soul needs release
Passion to make me a fool

Trance
Enchantress
Take a chance tonight

Grasses bend and wave
Smoke plays with the moon
That light coming through
From where its arms can’t reach
Gray and blue

God has lit a trillion candles
Flames flicker off the mantle
The scent of wood perfumes
While its warmth consumes

Under cover
Where skin slides so smooth
Whispering words
I can’t quite make from you
Something says you’re sorry
Others say I love you too

Are we dreaming?
What’s happening in this quiet room?
Laying in dark
My eyes closed
And it feels like I’m not alone

My eyes won’t open
My body can’t let it go
Just one more moment
To lay here with you
I can feel the hair
Brush across my face
I know my lips are dry
But why is it you I taste?

Blue cascades
In the long
Long and weary days
The night is mine
The day is lost
The moon my friend
And the sun is gone

It burns slow
With each drag
My fuel is dwindling
Dreaming of sweet kindling
You hold in your hands
Physical perfection
Visions of a face
Lost in direction

No words leave my mind
Of love or lust
I’m not that blind
People burn
People Feed
People are all
Everything that becomes me

Solitude is multitude
Seclusion an illusion
You are here
But never there
I am where
My words are fair
A poison most annoying

Time is our ally
And also our enemy
Your heart and hormones
Destroy all your dignity
In a mass confusion
Head trauma
You see what you want

The future holds for you
A clue so bold
It’s a wonder you don’t see it now
Cradling your heart
Is me
With hands wide open
And my mind in synch
I am the all-forgiving deity
The step that lifts
When you cannot reach
I see the child within you
And the adult that’s bursting out
I see everything you do
Love a word, this could be
Maybe love this is, maybe

Truth and loyalty
Placed before
It yours
Take all that I give
Friend or lover
It matter neither
To all of you
I love

My addiction
So sadistic
Hands and feet
Face and legs
Quench it
And For this I fall
Rapidly plummeting
Trace discrepancy
Codependency
You are my drug
My everything

You and me
We could be poetry
But you and I
Are living lies
But the world is wrong
And you've accepted it's answer
Release your love and come much closer

Darkness feels
From ear to ear
Cold and warm
Soft and numb
Flying freely into space
What have I become?

Stars pass through my eyes
And light exits through my brain
Time stands still in my ear
Tasting all the drops of rain
The world is upon me once again

And what are hearts?
Not meant to break
And what is love?
Not meant to take
Will someone please, walk me down this way?

The never-ending corridor
White walls
With infinite doors
No ceiling
And no floors

Walk with me, hand in mine
And show me where I can find time
My hand on the ****
Turn it for me and open wide
With your lonely key
You’ve kept inside

What a world behind this door
Hell or paradise
I’m not sure
Depression in expressive waves
Dimly lit and Fading away
Invoking all emotion
The motions law that you made
Gravity is something gray
My heart slows to a shallow beat
I pull the ground from my feet
And I find that no one is here but me

Love is a world far away
Passion exists only today
Chemical seduction
My body’s abduction
A natural imbalanced high
Give me my drug
And **** the pain
Straight from to vein
And to the brain
Addiction bleeds from the heart
Spilling out across the sea
The door opens from behind
And once again, I know me

Darkness feels warm and home
Alone in space again I go
Microcosm in my mind
The heart dies with the fading stars
The mind goes with each passing day
Alone to float across
An empty shell that once
One day maybe something more
Till you come out
And push me through the door

The leaves frost over
The rabid cold bites skin
It's mid August
But the sun has no power here
Gray and blue haunt us
Frozen slabs of granite
Each breathe perilous
The earth gives way to darkness
Hibernation
In winter never ending
The ice ceases beating
The plants dry and wither
Sooner or later
All succumbs to winter
