Goodbye

For everything I forgot to say to you Every moment I missed out on For every touch I never got Every line you had drawn. Every kiss I brushed past Every word I never wrote Every message I received Every plan, never followed through. I told you long ago I would be happy With any...

I Know When I’m Talking To The Devil

I know when I'm talking to the devil, He sneaks in slowly, carefully, Not wanting to ruffle any feathers.. He whispers kindness to lure you in To a false sense of security. Fake names, pictures, and memories He talks of them so fondly That you begin to believe The lie that is him. I've talked...

The Story Of j

There are thorns running through bushes Trying to cover this tale. An aftermath of wanting to BE Yet never wanting to fail. How does one become anything With such a terrible start? Where does she go for comfort When she doesn't understand her part? Once a peasant nobody wanted Comes to terms in later life. Sends...

I Just Wanted That

Sunlight hits the valley; The only sun they've seen in weeks. Tenacity is at the core of town Sometimes it just reeks. A fresh breeze runs through the middle of town Barely catching its breath on the way. Serenity is everywhere, But everyone knows it won't stay. Sin arrives at the town Takes everyone by...

Don’t Turn Around

Rushing to meet with fate Losing against destiny and desire. Forming alliances with those in need Yet unwilling to put out the fire. Nearer, we are to the end We learn that anger beat a path for us. Wandering still in aimless circles Unable to put up much of a fuss.   Don't turn around,...

Incense

I laid the incense on the counter Quite angrily, too. The day wasn't quite a ruin; Because it wasn't about you. Put my gun back in its holster Today isn't the day. Can want this all over with But I can't wish it away. Smelled the scent of orange Saw blue in the sky. They...

The Man You Couldn’t Be

Strong enough to lean on With all the class he needs. Special features come at night In very intimate deeds. He was real So good to me. He is something; The man you couldn't be.
