the cracked mask of life
what is it that we see in the world around us
that makes us want to be free from that which binds us
is life so bad that we must throw it away
to fight this never ending fight day after day
struggling through the pain, praying for relief
holding on to a prayer, one solid belief
that there must be more to life than this
that this pain only masks true ( Read more... ) -
restless leg syndrome
a phantom of the night that haunts me still
a relentless fight that spills
into the streets and fills the stone of a heart
that resides in my fragile chest that grows ever so dark
with every breathe in and every breath out
with every tremor and sigh my mouth lets out
with every toss and turn under the shadow of night
every screaming dream as I run from ( Read more... ) -
painful memories
i never said i loved you
i did this to hold myself back
to keep my distance from you
not sure how you would react
with this knowledge of me
not sure how it would change us
fear gripped me oh so tightly
afraid to put my trust
in something so frail as a word
something so powerful as this
something muttered under my breath so it wouldnt be heard
something held ( Read more... ) -
retorical questions
so what if the words i speak aren't true
so what if they'll never relate to you
would you still listen to my voice
if you were given the choice?
why are these open ended questions
such a constant source of frustration?
where has all my comforting logic gone?
i've been deserted for far too long
the dry air burns my eyes
watered down truth covering lies

food for thought
just when i thought the last time was the end
whats happened before has happened again
mindless desires racing around my head
keeping my endless demons well fed
these thoughts keeping pacing and racing on
leaving me drained, like having all my blood drawn
nothing left but a cold empty shell
a familiar feeling i know so well
i thought i was done with this ( Read more... ) -
good times hidden in lies
our secrets serve to makes us servants
while the truth of our deeds tries to free us
held up in this quivering chest
beating hard and trying its best
to keep back the tears that rain from my eyes
covering my face in a mournful disguise
is a bright light trying to break free
from the darkness pouring out of me
and try as i might to make things right

kiss my poisonous lips
I know of a one in a million kind of guy
a nice guy that never lies
who comforts his friends in their time of need
the kind of guy that has no greed
shares his time and money
who at times can be funny
will make you laugh when you wanna cry
hold you tight when you just wanna die
wipe the tears from your eyes
but no matter how hard he tries
he never seems to ( Read more... ) -
underachiever
I'm just wasting my life
over and over again
Just wasting my life
waiting for it all to end
I got time to spare
justing thinking of things to do
this is my cross to bear
and i've often blamed it on you
but all you ever did
was stay out of my way
as foolish as a kid
i fooled around all day
the soft glow of the t.v.
was all the company i could keep
and it's ( Read more... ) -
lost in a dream
nothing makes you feel more alone than a love story
fools rushing in, always in a hurry
a blur of color wrapped around a moment
an endless spectrum that light has sent
gifts from above lightly falling down
the cold air soothes as it surrounds
engulfing my tender heart once again
freezing my blood on the breath of the wind
out of my lungs, freed at last
a ( Read more... )
