Do not mistake
my silence for weakness
because my darling,
it is those who
speak the softest
that always carry
the biggest sticks

Every Time You Cross My Mind I ***** In My Mouth,
Any Time You Think Of Me I Hope You're Left With Doubt.
All The Love I Spent On You Is Now Running Out,
All The Lies & All The Games I Promised I Wouldn't Shout.

I Promised I Wouldn't Shout,
A Voice I'm Left Without,
I'm Feeling Silent Truly Speechless,
Burnt The Orchard Left You Peach-less,
I Took It Back I Need To Teach Less.

He Took My Mojo Made Me Weakness.

I Need To Remember The Cheer,
I Know Now I See Clear,
I Know They May Never Hear,
But If It's Still Late You Need To Switch Gear,
If You Feel Hate It's Transmuted Fear,
It's Never To Late To Go Catch Your Dear.

I Promised I Wouldn't Cry,
I Promised I Wouldn't Try.
I Keep Letting You In,
Will It Ever End,
Will I Ever Win.
I Think I'm In Love With Sin.

With bamboo husks scattered,
My last bones shattered.
We mourn a loss of bliss,
Draped in fear learnt to dismiss,
I call for all to gather.

The stalks once in my heart,
Intertwined; and broke apart.
I never knew how weak I'd gotten,
As my glacial mind defrosted,
And from within; resilience departed.

My thoughts cannot grow,
Pierced by what I do not know.
I'm getting colder,
I am not a soldier,
I'm a victim to the blow.

As the last bit of me was hollowed out,
I spoke the words of hope through my mouth:
"I will learn to accept the pain,
Rather than soaking it in my veins,
I'll filter it to the ground."
--------------------------------------

Heavy-chested, I try to release emotions,
The moon shakes its head in dismay,
Seasons unwinding, heartache in slow-motion,
And in weather hides words I can't say.

In the thick sincere compliments
Concerns flail, attempt to get out,
Bang on barriers, will not budge,
'Life consumed, hopeless doubt.

Mind enveloped in fear,
Shackled by trusting nature,
Wings clipped, self-made prisoner,
I wonder if you sense restraints stir.

Certain only one choice allowed,
A crowd of disapproving eyes stare,
Maybe stars can take me far from this place,
They twinkle, dreams in night air.

Want to shine with a similar light,
Ugly areas stand in protest,
Hold back the glow, I seem dimmer,
Searching for a spot to rest.

Weakness planted in crevices,
Rosebushes bearing thorns blooming,
Learning to love myself even when no one else does,
I'm hard to be with, I am only human.

Falling in love is just like setting sail,
It takes real courage to board the ship.
The winds keep on blowing, they howl & wail,
The oceans are dark, mighty and deep.

Rough sailing has storms, dangerous streams...
So when you're ready to sail, stay bold!
Forget about tears, weakness or whims,
This ocean has already got too much salt

Being in love is like guiding the ship
Through storms and the lure of the depth,
Fighting the meddlesome jealousy grip,
Facing the elements’ wrath and the Death.

You’re sailing together, so just fight the cold
(Love’s dangerous waters will win by assault)
Keep doubts, bitten pride and ego on hold,
This ocean has already got too much salt!
