12-23-93
Gouge out my eyes
pestilence lack of love binds
propagate
the strife you desire
keep me from forced self depiction
abhorate
self assured I am no more
take this away from me once more
thirsted for something that never existed
Complacent
I am abomination
I replace
absence of malice
sew my mouth shut
the silent sound of the end
I drown in tears
Sinking in dreams
Of what I once owned
I avoid the setting of the sun
(x2)
Memories fade as you did once before
Stole hope from right under my eyes
Accomplice of my death
A Wish For Wings That Work
Could I end my life with a knife sharpened of problems
sweet satisfaction of a night sky with horns
a papercut bleeds like a cut vein
could this sky open up and accept this tortured soul
but my wings have yet to work
change means nothing
when nothing wants to change
save your strength for the first disappointment
break this mirror that changes you
forever is such an unpleasant word
it begins to eat you
from the inside out
beg for sleep
as the noose is tied around your neck
Artists Rendering Of Me
With all my said unsaids
I could never swallow
The idea of a happy ending
As another days memory dies
As I'm made to smile
These lifeless days
have left me with an empty heart
another wounded memory dies
I could never swallow your false ideals
of a lifeless happy ending
how could words slit my wrist and doors close
present day heartfelt moments killed by a slap
to the hand another wounded memory dies
poisonous screams with messages
not thought of when released
present day heartfelt moments killed by a slap
to the hand another wounded memory dries
poisonous screams with messages
not thought of when released
another day here another memory dies
Slice Paper Wrists
When you read this
I will not be the same
I have let my true form show
and it is my last time
lost in all my guilt for letting you fall
understand it wasn't me
where were you now i can see through your eyes
I remember the day the sun went out
it halted all progression with all its beauty
it just sacrificed we fell apart
As I ask
Why ask these questions?
Sincerely yours I've disowned you
Sincerely yours I've disowned us
Nerdy
Why do your eyes paralyze me
What makes me feel this way
Just carry me away with silence and
Heartbeats as rapid
Thinking about your embrace
And how it makes me feel
I just want to feel this way forever
Sleep on portraits painted as perfect as you
Why have I been given the chance to fly
When I'm not with you I feel lesser alone
Why have I been given the chance to fly away
I remember your face imprinted on angels
Your voice as beautiful as the sound of waves
Crashing against my heart
Time stands still when you look at me
I'm infatuated with this
Infatuated with you
I remember your face imprinted on angels
It's so hard for me to understand
Why I hadn't found you before
Don't dull away
Hold my hand
To Mandate Heaven
I know very well the rain falls in drops
Winds call me
As rain falls in drops I drop my head
I'm ashamed and tempted to say
My heart has caught up to me
but still these words hold my hand
Please stay a while longer
I don't want to be alone
To see in your eyes is to stare in clear skies.
Clouds don't trail me anymore
Not Within Arms Length
Not within arms length
I'd sever the stars from the sky and place them in your hands if I
thought another wish they'd see the light of day.
But you stand beyond the sun.
Beyond the reach of just a friend
maybe if I grew wings, maybe if you lost yours.
These words would flow like water if you would let them scrape your heart
Not within arms length.
Embedded in comfort
A silent cry
I recive no comfort and as I colapse
we remain nothing more than friends.
As I hold my breath
a throat full of cement.
I am disgusted by repititon.
I accept this curse of friendship....
your friend....
friendship
Mid Air Love Message
Kisses are never safe when residue of old love is left
how could I feel lesser when someone better
walks around / waiting for you to call out
As your cold hand grasps mine I feel unright
and privileged to be
and you're the same chemical as stars
Deformed fingers leave trails of hearts in writing
could three words be the end to births only meaning
Crying to sleep is my remedy
urgently trying to stand on broken / confused legs
Am I looking for reasons not to be happy
emotions catch up with me / I'm too fast for them
My Mirror No Longer Reflects
Choke on your forked tongue as you lie to me again
Say it's too early to show how we feel
just shove me away but what can be said
to someone who can't hear
or comprehend your actions
I've lost faith in what I've been told it's all a lie
I show true feelings always feeling the pain
Smash me to the ground a thousand times as before
But I can't rationalize anymore carry me away
on concrete pillows incinerate me once more
Love means nothing to you anymore
blood stains on the wall with disfigured forms end me
