“Jade Eyes.”

We’re both broken, but she doesn’t seem to mind.
A queen of fragile love, heart to heart, we share alike.
A gentle kiss, a touch so kind.
And yet, I hesitate to call her mine.

Hearts and souls alike
Felt our bodies intertwine.
Pearl white skin, and angel’s eyes.
It’s just you and I tonight.
Forget the world, there’s only us.
Indulge myself within your trust.
Your words, your comfort, the spell you weave
Softly lull my weary soul to sleep.
When she laughs, the sky turns blue
What am I supposed to do, with all these thoughts of you?
Kiss my lips, just tell me lies.
Swear you’re only mine tonight.
Skin to skin, hand in hand, let’s share our souls.
Chest to chest, heart to heart, don’t let me go.

“Puzzle Pieces.”

She stares in the sky at night.
Wondering if she’ll ever know life
If she’ll ever know what it’s like to be free.
Run from it all, and never come back.

Hey, are you awake?
Can you keep me company?
Just to keep me sane?
Please don’t go.
This life is all I know.
I don’t think I’ll make it on my own.
You say you’re broken?
Well, so am I.
But, here, take what I’ve got left.
Let’s see if your piece fits mine.

“Immortal.”

Remember me.

Within the blades of grass, and trees that grow.
Along the banks where rivers flow.
Remember us for years to come.
They’ll know our names, etched beneath the sun.
Yes they’ll run, for days and days.
But never will they escape
This legacy that we’ve made.
We’ll stand atop a throne
Watching over lands of ashy haze
As they beg for better days.

“Rain.”

I’m going crazy.
Water hurts my throat.
This pain makes me drowsy
And still keeps me afloat.

Drunk in love and blind with infatuation.
Drown me in your constant intoxication.
Feel your hands along my skin.
Fill my head with lies so paper thin.
Kiss my lips with hopes and dreams.
Keep me occupied, my devil queen.
Drain me all, in mind, body, and in soul.
Leave my lifeless body in the cold.
Lick your lips, you promise me another day.
When all I want, is for you to stay.

“Help.”

Well, how do you feel?
That’s the thing.
I don’t.

Pin me up along your wall.
Drop me down and let me fall.
Cut me up and break me down.
Tie my hands and let me drown.
Kiss my lips and say goodbye.
Take my eyes, don’t let me cry.
Skin the flesh and free the soul.
Life has never felt so cold.
So pin me down with devil’s chains.
Kiss my lips and keep me sane.
Let me go and bring me rest.
Beside the one who knew me best.

“A Thousand Words.”

I can sit here all day and tell you what’s on my mind.
I could sit here and go for hours about the demons that plague me
Day after day, they fly around inside my head.
Is that what you want?

Left their tracks within the snow.
No one knows where they’ll both go.
She laughs and sings, with dreams of him.
While he’s awake at night with passing whims.
Thoughts of her and him begin to fade.
As she and he drift further away.
His thoughts escape her mind.
As she dances in the night.
He drinks to numb it all.
Open phone, hoping that she’d call.
But she’s got a ring, a life, a love made for two.
A thousand words I wrote, and sent to you.
But I guess this will do.

“Empty Ash Trays.”

I’m not the same.
But I don’t feel like I’ve changed.

You read the words upon my page.
Broke into my head, this prison I call a cage.
Let me sleep, remain inside my dream.
Where everything is exactly as it seems.
Where words aren’t said
Proof is made with actions instead.
So pin me down, and rip me up.
Break me down, I’ve had enough.
Promises of a haven that I can’t see.
In a bed made for you and me.

“Put Me to Rest.”

You have no idea what it feels like
To have everyone, literally everyone around you
Make you out to be some sort of amazing individual
But every single time I look in the mirror
I see something less than me.

Wrap me up around your finger.
Keep me here with thoughts that linger.
Make me out to be the best.
Toss me aside, and leave me for dead.
Bring me out with empty thoughts
Be every single thing I’ve ever sought.
Push me down, and bring me out.
Rip me up, make me scream and shout.
Then piece me back together.
Shape me into your perfect dream.
So we can last forever.

“Eh.”

Eh.

Scented lights, and fireflies
Memories of you and I
Lost and drunk, intoxicated.
Can’t help but feel so jaded.
Smoke and drink to numb the pain.
Lest this empty bed drive me insane.
Kept me up with midnight calls.
Shadows dance along the walls.
Let me drop, you let me fall.
Never thought I’d lose it all.
