They say it gets easier.They say it gets easier.
They say lots of things.

How could I possibly forget about you?
You.
The one person who knows me completely.
You.
The one person who would never betray me.
You.
The one person who smiles and sets me free.

How can time heal these wounds?
When each minute is a red, hot brand
Reminding me of the feel of your hand.
When every day is another empty room
And I'm losing track of the hours in this tomb.
Time becomes my eternal prison.

How can I go on without you?
I'm flying blind without you.
I'm deaf, dumb, and dead without you.
I'm putting a gun against my head,
And pulling the trigger without you.

They say it gets easi
I Am YoursLeave it to him
The one who's all steam
The one without a dream.

He'll take you home
To his castle of chrome
To be his imperfect clone.

Give him what he wants
He smiles and he taunts
He laughs and he haunts.

Force those three little words out
He likes it when you scream and shout
He likes it when you beg and pout.

Tell yourself that it's real
When you find him in bed with her
When you make him lose his temper.

Because that's all you are to him,
Another excuse to be angry.
A seed of lust gone too far for him,
But you meant everything to me.
you're so far awayyou're so far away
from where I am.
I wrote these words to say
how sorry I am.
called you up the other day,
hung up before it rang.
you're getting further away each and every day.

walked by your place
hoping to catch
a glimpse of your face,
that I might dispatch
these feelings and the fact
that you no longer exist.
my first kiss, those lips I couldn't resist

let the rain fill my heart
just like it used to.
the pain of being apart
from the one I love, you.
forgive me dear
there's nothing left to lose.
in life I loved, in death I'll find you.
WinterlandSoundless serenity,
A vastness of white.
Reflecting rays
Of sunshine,
Giving light
Giving life
To a realm of stillness.
Standing in the cold
I remember your face,
Pink flushed cheeks
All covered in wool.
Surrounded by silence
Deep and resounding,
Moving inside us
Softly deafening.  
Winterland.
Colorless sand,
Trickling shards
Sparkling in your hand,
Tastes sharp
Like rusty shivers.
All beauty and frost
A heart of ice
Dancing on fire,
Embers of desire.
You looked so alone
On a blanket of ivory,
I just had to have you
For the grandeur
For the glory.
An act of chance,
An avalanche
Falling down on me.
All beauty and frost,
And I am so lost
In t
Black SwanForever your black swan,
Another shoulder to cry on.
We both know that in the end
I’m just another friend.

Put a price on me,
I’ll pay the fee.
You see me blushing?
This costs you nothing.

When it’s dark outside
And you need a ride
Send whispers my way,
You know I’ll obey.

There’s no way out of this,
It begins with just one kiss.
But if you were to refuse
There’s not much you’d lose.

One friend
Trying to pretend,
One part of you
You never knew.
If tomorrow I don't Wake upI wonder what would happen
If I was never to wake up
Would people even care
I wonder if a commotion would erupt

Would anyone even notice
That I wasn't alive
Would my mother even mourn me
Or could she guess that I wouldn't survive

Well I'm still not dead
But I can barely call this living
I feel like a corpse
That hasn't given up on breathing

But I wonder what would happen
If I was actually to die
Would anyone be bothered
Or care enough to cry

Maybe everyone's just used to
Me living like a corpse
So no one would be bothered
Or life change the slightest off of course

But if I would never wake up
There's no way to know what
Lost LoverWe shared a moment in time,
We handed over our hearts.
With every breath you were mine,
We treated love as art.

Our feelings were the same,
Our worlds became one.
We played a pleasant game,
But neither of us won.

Too fickle with our dreams,
Too firm in our desires.
Too timid were we,
To do what love requires.

You took back what was yours,
I fumbled with the exchange.
You closed your stark doors,
And I took all the blame.

Now you seek my attention,
Now you wish only for me.
Please forgive my pretension,
But I don't need you to be happy.

Farewell lost lover,
Time will carry you.
And you may yet recover,
A love you once kn
The Concept of PerspectiveI unfurl with lavender,
wild and stretching possibilities
within velvet serenity.

I sway joyously with conducting trees
and fall with musical, tumbling leaves,
recognition whole;

and for once,
time does not govern
but witnesses.

I change like the seasons,
no complicated reason...
just that I do;

it is as they always say:
some things, they never change.
you love meyou fill me
you feel me
you found me
you freed me

this life was nothing
until you walked my way.
you gave me something
to smile for each day.

you showed me
you sheltered me
you saw me
you saved me

you make me love you
without doing a thing.
it's like you're the glue
and I'm the string.

you try me
you take me
you turn me
you taste me

they say love like this never lasts
they say we don't belong.
so let's live like it's our last
and prove them all wrong.

you let me
you lead me
you lift me
you love me
Modern DilemmaHe sits next to her everyday
Another passenger on the subway,
She notices him but is too afraid
She cannot find the words to say.
These are the times,
This is the age,
When people feel so far away.

He cries in his sleep for a girl like her
Wakes up again for another day at work.
Bored to tears from all the long years
Yet he holds onto hope
And he thinks of the girl
He doesn't quite know,
Living in a distant world.

She's so ready for a guy like him
Finds his face in the crowd each morning,
But the thoughts stay inside
She cannot let them out.
Side-by-side the whole ride
She's dying to shout out
"I've always loved you,"
She so desperately wa
Hating to Love youLife goes by
Its nearly the end of October
Eleven months since you left me
And I still can't seem to keep sober

Drink after drink
Living off of intoxication
Can't mend this broken heart
But its the best medication

Holding on to the past
Feels like I'm stuck in one place
Still being haunted by your voice
And that last look on your face

I'm starting to hate
Everything I once loved about you
Like the thickness of your lips
And how your eyes would shine blue

The sound of your voice
The accent when you'd pronounce my name
What I really hate
Is that no one can pronounce it the same

I hate that I love you
And can't seem to forge
FaithMany lack it.
Many hold it.
Many crave it.
Many ignore it.

In the end, how many appreciate it?
I Will Be YoursSomeday, somehow I will be yours,
I'll send you rose after rose,
Dozens, hundreds, thousands at a time,
Until, one day, you are mine.

We met under casual circumstances,
I threw out caution and took my chances.

Now here we are
Two months past
Sitting in my car
And I must ask
If you feel the same
If you can just name
That ache in your heart
When we're apart
If you know the call
Of our hearts in time
As we slowly fall
Into the sublime
Tell me you're real
Tell me it's true
This love I feel
It burns for you

Someday, somehow I will be yours,
I'll send you rose after rose,
Dozens, hundreds, thousands at a time,
Until, one da
What's it Like?give me a break.
there's a limit
to all the shit
one man can take.

I know you too well,
too well to let this go.
there's not a chance in hell
that I'll forget what I know

and when you're in his bed
I hope you think of me,
and all the things you said
we were meant to be.

I might not have a shiny car
or the latest designer clothes,
but I love you for who you are
and that's the way true love goes.

so tell me baby, what's it like?
to make a fool out of me,
to stab my heart with a spike,
and watch me slowly bleed?

now that you've had your say
and there's nothing more to speak of,
I'm done listening; I'll be on my way,
I ho
ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.

Fresh MeatWinter's cold air nipped her bud
As she stalked his scent silently.
Closing in on the hunter's blood,
Her senses shuddered violently.

The heat from his fire rose up high
To melt the ice from the trees,
So that water fell from the sky
And forced the hunter to freeze.

Blackest paws fell upon whitest snow
With each nearing step she took.
Sharp spears soon would grow
From grey claws as they unhooked.

Today was to be his last day here
For the hunter must find fresh meat,
But then a low growl echoed in his ear
And he knew death he could not cheat.

How could he have killed her child?
Why couldn't she have died instead?

and does his best,

he stands up looking down,
knowing that he'd drown
if he saw those eyes so brown.

in hopes that he will see

When the daylight turns to nightWhen the daylight turns to night,
My sweet Juliet,
Comes to guide me back home.

In sleepless nights' restless fight,
O my sweet Juliet,
will sing sweet sorrow into my soul.

I know not what is right,
But my sweet Juliet,
She will keep me warm and whole.

I have learned to bite on sight,
For my sweet Juliet,
Has my heart under her control.

Rapt in subtle, naive spite,
And yet my sweet Juliet,
She spins the threads of my loom.

The noose grows ever so tight,
As my sweet Juliet,
Locks me inside her womb.

once forgotten and abandoned. now
occupied, as with any home in the winter.
coldness knocks at the door but is held
back each morning by a roaring fireplace.
smokestacks escape the chimney in
the shapes of white lovers. holding hands
as they ascend into the mid-morning sky,
where clouds will welcome the newfound
ties. warm tea for chapped lips, then
sip by sip the cup is emptied to the bottom.
there I see the leaves of my fortune,
in the shape of lovers holding hands.

Black and White

:iconmumikansou:

Sealing up memories
In cardboard boxes,
Hiding old injuries
Inside dusty closets.
Riding a beaten track
With busted brakes,
So I run right back
Into past mistakes.
Tried to know for sure
If this time was real,
‘Cuz there's no cure
For love's ordeal.
Life seemed so grand
When I was beside you,
When you held my hand
And said you loved me too.
Now I'm clutching at the place
Where my heart used to be,
A hopeless empty space
To which you held the key.
Maybe if I had known
About all of your lies,
And your heart of stone,
Your whole disguise--
Maybe I could have saved
Myself from this pain,
And not become enslaved
By a love we could not sustain.
The words left unspoken
Keep me up every night,
When your heart's been stolen
Life becomes black and white.
