Sadness (Eat It Up)
I want to eat up your sadness,
and bury it deep in the pit of my stomach.
Chew it up and swallow, send it to where
I can break it down and tear it apart.
I would risk the horrible ache
to make your pain and anguish
be my own mistake.

The Boy With the Dead Eyes
Another restless night in a bed that you hate.
Pray for peacefulness, calm, a new life, a blank slate.
The pills make you numb, but don’t make you forget.
Alcohol, your poisonous eel, slippery and wet.
The clock ticks too loudly, the faucet drips slow,
you know you’re still breathing by the tv’s soft glow.
Mom loved you, but left you, and dad wasn’t there.
I love...

Medusa's Eyes
The chill in your stare travels down my spine.
Your blood emptied out by syringe.
The flush in my cheeks, your pale skin, divine.
The ice in your veins makes me cringe.
You’re physically here, but mentally gone.
Unnerving, your statue appeal.
Absent and alone, the light isn’t on.
Medusa herself was more real.
The life in your eyes, destroyed, disappears.
It’s crying...

Dear Daddy
Dear Daddy,
Remember when I was worth your time?
When we spent our days being lazy,
lying on the couch.
The television playing another one of your beloved movies.
Now we spend our days being busy,
sitting in different rooms.
The television off, your beloved movies collecting dust.
Remember when I was worth your time?
When we spent our time doing science projects
and learning about...

Whirlwind.
I’m lost in a whirlwind of people and sounds,
trapped in a world where my head always pounds.
Where my mother sings songs I don’t understand,
where my father’s not here to give me a hand.
Where my sister is favored and I’m stuck alone,
in this shitty apartment that I call a home.
Where all that I yearn for is deep, dreamless sleep,
but get colors and pictures that I’ll never keep.
Where all that I...

To Rich.
I’m screaming your name inside my head.
I want the love that she has instead.
I need you now to hold my hand,
call me baby and understand.
I cut the ties that gripped my heart.
Our bond was severed, torn apart.
Without you, darling, I am poor.
My riches walked right out the door.
But money isn’t everything.
Can’t buy happiness, just a ring.
And this is for the best, you see.
Your indecision was...

Nightmare.
I never want to wake up from this dream.
Its reality is my fantasy.
A world where I am safe.
Safe to feel, and to smile.
And to be anyone I want to be.
I adorn my crown with jewels.
Green-eyed and envious, I steal my vital treasure.
Breaking my promise to never be a thief
like all the ones that have hurt me before.
I am worthless and speechless and breathless.
But in this world, I am...

Forbidden Fruit.
Need blossoms inside me, like a flower in full bloom.
Normalcy renders me useless, to the snake, impending doom.
I want what I cannot have the most.
Visions of false truths dance inside my empty head.
Desire overtakes me, makes me wish that I were dead.
I couldn’t have dreamed of sugarplums.
Forbidden fruit beckons me and no lesson has been learned.
Easily obtainable, it’s what I feel I’ve...

Forgotten.
I am forgotten.
Hidden away, veiled.
Not a soul will find me.
I am nowhere.
I am lost, never to be found.
Forgotten.
Alone.
I am nothing to the world: a lonely soul, a simple girl.
I long for freedom.
Desire escape.
I am not what I want to be.
Yet I remain.
You will not give me a second glance.
Or a first.
Invisible to the naked eye,
even when I am naked.
Naked in my words,
in my thoughts,
in my...

For You, Only You.
The thought of you,
makes me cringe.
The sweet words
and sarcastic remarks.
The tears shed
from my bloodshot eyes.
You killed me.
Slowly, painfully, sadistically.
You watched me writhe
in searing pain
of love, life, loss.
You heard me cry
and beg
and plead.
For you, only you.
My heart screams out
for your touch,
your love, your presence.
I...

Dreamland.
Time can only tell.
Follow the stars round the moon.
The sand slips through the glass.
Your dreams are coming soon.
A new world opens up.
Figurines dance through your head.
Words whispered in the dark.
You can’t hear what is said.
Deafened by the silence.
Ears are straining to hear sound.
Demons enter my brain.
And from the inside start to pound.
My mind becomes a cyclone.
And thoughts drip down...

Alone.
Smiles only seal the deal when answers are unknown.
The phone is ringing endlessly; I guess that you’re not home.
Slanting light reminds me that time continues on.
Shadows simply show me that what we had is gone.
Alone is only lonely when you add a why.
Questions never help us they only make us cry.
We’re all soldiers in a war that isn’t being fought,
All buyers of a product that can’t ever be...

Dark, Desperate Deeds.
Desperation hangs off my limbs like Spanish moss,
draped across rough bark and skin.
How can I say yes to a dark room with no promise of return?
Mystery leads us to do such horrid things.
An empty, gaping hole in my core allows air to escape.
Oxygen seeping out, oxygen barely squeezing in.
When will I learn to enjoy such putrid air?
Mystery leads us to think such horrid things.
Omit the...

Blur.
The blur in the mirror isn’t me.
I am not the walking cadaver
with crystal eyes that shed glass tears.
The mirror tells no lies.
I have become what I always feared.
I am dead, existing, but not living.
The blur in the mirror isn’t me.
The demon in my eyes is.
Deep within the caverns of my soul,
I know it to be true.

Broken.
Mistaken diagnoses,
obscured behind years of pain and suffering.
A mother is dying on her child.
A father has broken sacred vows, and weeps.
Silence, eerie calm sits on my back,
tearing nerves in mass proportion.
A white shining angel has taken my mommy away.
Trace her silk with your fingertips; softly let her go.
Remember the destructive lies from your father’s twisted mouth.
Mistaken...

Unnamed.
That smirk,
that crooked, jagged smile spun upon your lips;
your endless nerves unravel me,
woven with desire,
tears.
That laugh,
that silver, sparkling chuckle crushed between your lungs;
your diaphragm is taunting me,
ballooned with envy,
tears.
That look,
that garish, glaring gaze tucked behind your eyes;
your sights are set on mysteries,
signals set ablaze,
tears.
You,
you are clueless,...

A Ghost in the Knight.
My love means nothing to you, a wisp of smoke, a ghost.
Walk away, you coward, you knight in stainless steel.
If you want me, fight for me, extend your sword.
A prettier princess has beckoned, a choice you cannot make.
And alas, a liar you have become, actions never taken.
Your words mean nothing to me, a wisp of smoke, a ghost.
You’ve gone from jester, you joker, to knight, to royalty.
A...
