NoVacancy


There's a room in my heart
It's the room that you made
I was ready to move forward
But then you dug in your blade
You carved out enough space
Enough for you to lay your head
I guess you'll stay there forever
Make yourself comfortable on a blood-pumping bed
I would like to evict you from my cavity
The eminent abode you perceive
You are shattering my walls
But I could never let you leave
You are infecting my soul
I'll just let life run its course
I will eventually bleed out
But that room is always yours

HelpingHand


I'm quietly confused
Either I'm being loved veritably
Or I am being used
Why use me?

Aren't I something worth keeping?
Someone full of the moments?
Anything here you are seeking?
I guess not

I'm just dangling on strings
Dancing around your feet
Just waiting for what next time brings
Why am I doing this?

Don't you want to be free?
Away from this pattern you're stuck in?
Wouldn't you like to cross that wretched sea?
I'm on the other side

I'm shadowed by your ache
The darkened shadow, you falter
It's pulling you under the wake
Will you ever resurface?

Are you gonna give up hope?
Why insist on drowning?
Don't you see me throwing you my rope?
I could never let you sink

CrushMe


There's a time and place
To crush me.
Please at this time
Don't crush me

Hold up my throat 
With revisions of the future.
Crushing is inevitably a descent
To nothing more than pitiful

Live the life once loved.
Try to breathe 
The breaths once took
And now try for more

Lay down your arms.
Show at the slightest
A discrete mercy undertaking
But no, show nothing

Climb climb climb 
But I could never reach the top
Not with the strings of my master.
Fake my motions

Quench my thirst
Only to not fill me up.
Hold your words
But keep me spewing

What absorbed me intently.
What held me from breaking
Like pieces played young
Like the ones you crumbled

Untamed eyes engulfed
By this violent river.
Starting the flow's rapid stream
But only to always return merciless

Complete my dissatisfaction
At the sight of your being.
Don't rush from this silence
Now I wait for it...
Crush me

Coldness.


So quick to move on 
Like a nothingness inside
Keep me holding on for a feeling
Keep me hoping for it to subside

Swallow away the memories
As if they weren't even real
Calling out your name in my sleep
Calling out for your skin to feel

Losing all is dying
Like chivalry once knew
Love is a never ending reality
Love is a trench of a crushing dark blue

Peace will not devour me
As man so destructively knows
Coldness, I will be waiting
Coldness, you're my wind that never blows

PaintingColors


Shackles bind me
Ropes tied around me

A prisoner I'm imprisoned
I'm dressed in a dark crimson
I can try and speak
But no one would listen

My mind's my jail cell
Guarded by the memories
My thoughts a hell's mail
I shiver as it remedies

I fear I'm being afraid
I fear to color life a brighter shade
Scared that it's too fake
So I grab my dark stencil, my mistake

I paint my painting
My life's drawing in dim colors
This is how I see it and I'm fading...
At least I'm truthful unlike the others

The others' a fake masking of bright blue and bright yellow
They will soon drown in their ink
Smothering suffocation with the liars pillow
One day they'll reach the brink

Then I'll splash them in black.

PaintingColors2

I was being brushed in new colors
I felt brighter than the others

Now I've been dipped in a new shade
A dark shade, a dim shade, I fade
Fading soon, I'll be a new painting in the hall
The one that goes unnoticed nailed high on the wall

One day you will notice me though
Once your favorite paintings sold, I'll show
Release me from off that rusted nail
Brush me with shining colors, this painting is not for sale

Waiting...


The next step I take
Hurrying to cross the next line
Pulling myself up
Getting higher and higher I climb

Reaching new climates
Obtaining new heights
Now ready to set sail
Ready for new cites, new people, bright lights

So here I am waiting
When will it be my turn
I'll be valiant and trusting
I will go, do, And learn

I shall be blessed in my doings
Earning my stripes
And when I come back
I can say, "I saw the highest heights."

"I stood on the tops of great mountains,
Overwhelmed by the wonder,
Delivered many from evil,
Brought them high, high from down under."

But I am presently a candidate
Simply a molding of clay
Waiting for my time to come
Waiting to be on my way.:)

Chance

Wanting the broken soul
The soul seems of distant eternity
It will never come around
I could never come around
Not anymore, not like this

Hold to what I know
Keep to the basics
There's a lot it'll let go
Not much to make of this

So...
Crush crush crush
Slowly split my ends
I could never come around
No no not like this

Faceless truth
Punch my gut
But no stab my chest
I will stick to this reality
And I will stand for nothing less
But hey, thanks for the chance...

TooUnknown

Remarkably remarkable
A glowing Glow
From the darkened shadows I'd roam
I'd roam for a chance to be alone
Alone for a chance to keep unknown

I see the Glow by day
And by day I want to want and I want to stay
For now the heart for the Glow has grown and grown
My mind enters light, no longer wanting the unknown

It is what I'd like to desire
But it is hung up high, high on a high wire
It's happy sparkle crinkles my eyes
Enlightens my spirit and turns my insides

I turn and turn only to turn some more
So much I about scream for this heart-filled cup to pour
If poured it could put me back, hidden to hide to not show
If poured it perhaps may brighten the shine of the glowing Glow
But here I'll stand to stand, still a bit too unknown...

TheCrumpler


She walked like sunshine
Talked with grace
She fled to be not mine
Left a scar on my face

Cut the core
With her bitter knife
Held down my love
And took its life

On a good day
My skies seem clear
Before I know it
Dark clouds will appear

Take out my clean sheet
When life takes a stumble
She will silence my painting
Snatch it and crumple
