Hard to be happy
When your heart is bleeding
You're just like the other ones
Exactly like everyone, it turns out.
You hold me in a cage
And let me out to play

Only when it's convenient...
And secret.

Hard to be genuine
When you have to let go
of who you are, just to be with you.
I have to live with my love
Always hidden
Not good enough to show off
Just a fuck ( Read more... )

suffer a cloud of smoke and pain
too many lights shining
every which way
A laser light show and nobody sees
anything.

In my darkest hour
I sat here alone
on the phone with you
too much advice and not enough
empathy
But that's the way it is with you

And I just love you anyway
I love you despite the things you say
I love you and I don't care because
you're all I ( Read more... )

Talking to air
Like three sheets to the wind
The error of me is just a sin
I'll never get it anyway

I could spell myself into oblivion
Say all the things inside my heart
But to who?
It's not like you were listening
When I tried it with you

I've always been here
Trapped inside a glass coffin
Banging my arms against
The clear glass walls
Everyone can see me
But ( Read more... )

Haunted by your ghost
You were the one I always needed the most
Are you here for me now on angel wings?
Guiding me through all the tribulations

I don't want to connect with people
I don't want to feel their pain
And all I know is the work ethic you gave me
Cause' you made me

I'm growing old but I'm still unwise
I can't be the person inside of your eyes

Another relationship on the slab
Toe tagged
Zipped into the body bag
Another love lost and dead and done
The autopsy has just begun

Another dead dream in formaldehyde
Save the memories
And my tears inside like a museum
Cremate me and put me into
A metal urn of burnt out love

I was driving the hearse
You were cold in the back
The coroners arounds us declared ( Read more... )

You can't stand the thought

Of me moving on

Yet, you hate me to be near your feet

You want me to suffer

And yet you do not

As the coaster rides wood rails in heat

Do I stay on this ride?

And let you take my pride

And all of the self-esteem in me?

Just allow you to judge me

Like I have no right

To breathe any air that's near you

When all that I know ( Read more... )

You miss me so much
But you won't help
You tell me I need to help myself
So I do, but that's not good enough.
I'm a loser for not being able
To install a fucking 55" TV
on a wall mount by myself

But all I notice,
Is you whining that I'm not there.
If you're so sad...so maudlin and bad
You should have appreciated what you had
You should have cherished the ( Read more... )

2am nightmare
Wakes me again
But the bad dream arrives
When I open my eyes
And I do not see your silhouette
I can’t reach out and touch your skin
There’s no one to help me sleep again
I can’t feel your arms around me
Can’t feel your chest rising
I can’t even hate you for ignoring me
In the dark
Like you used to do sometimes.
And It would be so much ( Read more... )

You annoy me and I hate you
But I don’t.
I want to tear out your hair
But I won’t.
Why do you talk so fast?
Why do you yell so loud?
Why do you get stuck on stupid
Like a floor-length shroud?
You’re cloaked in your stories
And you spin all your lies
With fine silk
And yes, they really piss me off
But I know
It’s just a dagger you carry
For show
Why ( Read more... )

Who knows what a broken heart is?

I do.

I'm a sum of all of the parts

All the destroyed homes

And the sad mis-starts

All the empty promises

And wasted dreams

The slow divorces

And the silent screams

The starvation of love

And the pleas for relief

All of these things are pieces of me

I've sewn them together

With bristle and oil

Turned the pieces ( Read more... )
