Contradictions (Push and Pull)

First you light it
Then you send it
First you fight it
Then defend it
You won't admit it
But you can't end it
You say you can't share it
But you're willing to lend it
And while you straighten it
You think of how to bend it
I think you finally understand it
But you still pretend it

How long does that last?
Not more than a moment
When your eyes betray your heart
And your body, traitorous fool
Isn't capable of ignoring this
And your mind, it gives no rest,
But replays every single little death
When her heart stops beating
And the world is at rest
All you can see is her
And you're at your best

You hear all her words
You dream of what you'd do
If only people knew
How it torments you

You feel shacked
This prison can't be escaped
And so it's better to just miss her
Than for this to be erased.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.

The boy who was (never) good enough

I may be off-base But I think I recognize it This desire to give As a way to provide Yourself with a pleasing identity. A way to be loving A way to be loved Giving up your own needs  For the sake of harmony. Did you have a mother who was always sad? Were you the one to delight her? Did you face the pain of choosing a path That took you away or made you unkindly? Was your brother the asshole And you didn’t mind it Because it meant you could be the one To fix feelings all around you. And when you were older Did you pick girls that reminded You of the woman who was always demanding? And did you feel good  When you provided  All of the joy that wasn’t inside her? But when you messed up Were you the same disappointment? The boy who was (never) good enough But couldn’t stop striving. I hope one day you see That you’re worthy of love Without needing to give Or be perfect. Above all I hope you reme...

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.
