A Way About Him

There was a way about him
A certain aura surrounded him
He called out to me
Choked me
He seduced me
I fell in love
Too fast
I should have known that
It wouldn’t last
The attraction dimmed
The kisses turned sour
He must have thought it was a game
Thought he could meet a different girl every hour
Without my knowing his scam
It wasn’t hard to figure out
When he’s with me calling her name
I left my heart to be exposed
It was too easy for him to devour
Now I’ll never be the same
And I’ll grow bitter with my shame

Ribbon

I give you this ribbon
A token of my love
Wrap it around your wrist
Seal my present with a kiss
You.
Are.
Mine.

Forbidden Fruit

I went to the market
To buy an apple or two
Deliciously juicy red
Within an hour I was dead
Struck by bullet to my heart
When the store was robbed
The apples flew out of my cart
Why did I have to leave the world this way?
What did I do wrong?
Was my death merely a coincidence?
Why couldn’t I hold on and be strong?
I didn’t want to die!
But I suppose that is what’s bound to happen
When you find something absolutely
Forbidden

Guilt

Guilt is like a disease
It can be prevented before it ever begins to start
Guilt is like a disease
It eats away at your heart
Guilt is like a disease
It will tear your life apart
Guilt is a disease
And learning that, oh fellows, is the hardest part

They Said

They said she was obsessed
She said it was an escape
They didn’t understand

White Pill

Rain on the windowsill
Shadows dancing on the wall
On the nightstand there lies a white pill
Contemplatrion
Can you hear it’s sweet call?
Twill be your downfall

Dead Man

Cracked glass
A rose with only thorns
Half eaten box of chocolate
Bottle of red wine
Dead man on the floor

Secret

His eyes avoid yours
His hands shake
His heart beats with guilt
He doesn’t want you to find out his...

She bites her fingernails nervously
She toys with her hair
She’s trying to hide her...

Secret

To Be

Laugh
Cry
Hope
Love
Dream
Bleed
Live
Die
To Be

Untitled
I know I shouldn’t be feeling this way
I know it’s not right
But I can’t help it
Love is hard to fight

But I can’t stop thinking about you
Your face haunts me at night

I see your eyes
Your hair
I hear your laugh

I know that someone else cares for you
Someone I call my friend
To act on my feelings would be betrayal
So to you
This note
I send

The feelings inside of me
Will never go away
But I can’t act on them
I’m sad to say

I hope you can understand
That I’d rather live with a broken heart
Than with a broken friend
