SIMPLE DESIRE
I want to be surrounded by light blue, gleaming in the sun with dew morning glories, that seem to smile at me when I gaze across the vastness of the barren meadow
Only then will I be completely content with my wretched life.
Only then will you have the privilege to call me utterly and truly yours.

I KNOW
I stare at you with amusement and a curiosity that’s driven by the lack of knowledge I hold to your name. The intensity that grows with every new question answered is beyond unsatisfying, and certainly not quenching my parched need to know more than a label. I’ve come to understand you better than anyone in your sad pathetic life has ever. Insane isn’t it? I know everything in a matter of minutes. Too late to hide secrets you’ve convinced yourself never existed. I hold a flame to your flawless image and watch you melt before our eyes. Leave you sooted and bare asking for more. We’re not all that different. I just know better.

PRETTY LITTLE THING
Pretty little thing so cute and dainty.
Her eyes shine with the innocence that leaves you in awe.
So fragile she seems, so perfect it makes me sick.
I hate her I hate her I absolutely hate her.
Something has to be wrong with her.
Something has to be seriously fucked up.
And she is.
Hiding her past in disgraceful scars.
Eyes said to shine, glassy with tears.
A mask worn to protect what’s already wrong.
Pretty little thing, where did it go wrong?
Stuck between reality and walls that force her to be her own enemy.
Pretty little thing, you should have spoken up when you had the chance.
And for that, I hate you.
I hate what you’ve made me become.
Stuck with your deceiving lies.
Look in a mirror and accept it.
Accept me.
So we can move on.
Pretty little thing, too damn pretty for your own good.

PASSING BY
Everyone passes you as they walk by.
Without acknowledging your existence.
Begin to wonder if it’s even worth the wait.
What am I waiting for?
Think you’ve figured it out.
Think you got it all pieced together.
Invisible by choice or sad occurrence.
Crave the attention you never receive.
Live an acceptance you should not keep.
Everyone passes you as you luck out.
A loss never gained back.
You pass me one final time.

Sorrowed Eyes
Look me in the eyes and tell me a beautiful undefined lie,
one I can be truly satisfied with despite the facts.
Look me in the eyes and tell me how much you love me,
even though we both know you’d rather chew on rusted tacks.
Look me in the eyes and tell me I’m the only one for you,
allowing myself to share you with so many other whores.
Look me in the eyes and tell me one truth,
you can’t.
So let me do you the favor.
What do my eyes tell you?
Can’t you see what you do to me?
Don’t you see?
Can’t you see?
Or maybe you just don’t wanna see?
So let me show you...
I’m done letting you look into my sorrowed eyes.

LIQUID
Submerged under tears of guilt,
is that my only escape?
Lost in the sunrise of shameful disillusionments,
sinking beneath the grasps of this peaceful lake. Soundless burial,
so languishing and pensive.
How blatant the sounds of thrashing liquid restrains,
why fight it?
Enemy of mine,
reflections smirk so mockingly.
Images fade into liquescent mirrors,
puddled like a metallic pool of inhuman blood.
Who are you?
