I know the darkness within your eyes, Those that have me chosen... And your lips, between them lies A paralytic poison. You hold me, expose your soul bare Whisper, "never leave"... Those arms suffocate, cut off air, You make it hard to breathe. The nails that drag across my back, Like writing on the wall... Greedy hands compensate what you lack, In your shadow I fall. I remember everything, every sight and smell, What happened in the night... Now when I think of waking up in hell, I just wake up in a'fright.

Frozen lips, a face unkissed, A castle in a kingdom- missed Thorns sharp as razors edge The princess teetering on a ledge A dragon from her past unleashed Her sleeping prince, out of reach She picks up his fallen sword Runs at the dragon, pushing forward Finally prepared, dagger to heart Her trusted air tears the beast apart In green flames, the tyranny ends Into the depths of the castle, she descends But oh, too late, his lips are cold Surrounded by the stench of old It was not a curse in which they slept But a deathwish made, a deathwish kept. Unable to move on alone, Inside a garden with thorns overgrown She very tentatively, with motions

The pyre is set The match is lit With fire bright My teeth I grit. So seductive, The little flame- A burning flight From the mundane. With golden hunger A spark of desire A thirst to burn Within your fire... My breath you steal My skin you own My mind forsaking All but the unknown. A secret kiss A fire set flame, Come take my darkness- Come steal my pain.

I suppose it must be time to box away your things Time to set aside the memories, the sadness it brings Time to, with a weary soul, walk away at last Time to tear you from my future, leave you in the past. Time to swallow the reality of nothing left to mend, Time that this great love affair finally come to end. Time to patch up my heart. Preserve whatever's left... Within this compassionate so you abandoned so bereft Time for the dreams to stop,t he sound of your voice to fade Time for me to accept losing all we've made. Definitely time to stop wishing for you to come by Can't keep remembering the way you used to sigh Time to let go of the ca

Those glassy eyes painted blue Rimmed with tears, what to do... I watch you as you watch me Masks to hide our memory No more time for us to grieve I just wait to see you leave. Those whispered words under lights Strung about high in the nights We look about with a soft gaze Anywhere but into the haze Where we sit close but far away Never letting love in our way. Those aching breaths, thoughts aligned Masterfully, painfully designed A catalyst of broken things, Scattered pieces of scattered dreams I still remain an obedient slave, Still passive for the love you gave. Those repetitive salutations, goodbyes Weakened by that incessant drive No

What's the capital of Tennessee? What year did the slaves go free? Why did Columbus set out to sea? Who do you think looks like me? When did we become a democracy? Who the hell is Bruce Lee? Who sings I want you to want me? Who wrote the book Misery? All these questions, don't you see? You're taking advantage of my memory.

Words, thoughts, oft cut short, Silence appears your only retort I dot my i's, my t's are crossed, Still I hide my voice, to love the lost. Shallow breath, in the mirror I look, Reading my own eyes like an open book, Yet I do ponder what this has cost, Allowing myself to love the lost. Whispers and hints I display, When your smile comes out to play But all my energy I do exhaust... In an effort to love the lost. Each dream trampled, as reality sets, An empty bed filled with regrets, And still as often as I am tossed, I return each day to love the lost. Moments where your warmth consumes Hope in my heart, like a flower blooms And then

Let me kiss those gentle hands, Who guide me through sickness. Let me honor your great strength, That holds me in my weakness. Let my words give you praise For all that you have done, As a lover, a brother, As my best friend, and a son. Let me thank you once more, -For how to make you see- Just how much I appreciate you, How much you mean to me. Thank you.

I love you forever, I love you tonight, I love you when I don't feel alright I'll love you in the morning asleep in bed Loving the dreams of you in my head I love you each day, each hour, each minute Loving each moment, wishing you in it I've loved the memories, the hopes too I've loved and cherished holding you Even if loving you has gone away, This love within me, will always stay.

Wasting away, branded a fool, Don't fall in love- my only rule Sweet words laced with sugared malice Puddles of love, in a poisoned chalice Dreams of the future, left to rot A noose tied in a forget-me-not Poems of love written from the heart Piece by piece tear my sanity apart Written in ink, I pen my pain Love demands another open vein And as soon as you choose to forget Another round, and it's back to roulette...
