November


Skies of gray reflect in your eyes
No matter how hard I try
I just can’t look away
Please turn your back on me
And let me breathe again

This love, it hurts
It burns up inside
How much of my life
Can I destroy?
You have the parts of me no one else does

You say you want love
But that’s a lie
You just want pleasure
And I’m glad to oblige

What can I say to stop the chase?
I’m no good for you
But you have to know
If I could stop time,
I’d stay here forever with you

Leftover shards
Bits of my soul
Torn apart by those before
You opened my eyes
You opened my soul
So I could finally close the door
On a past filled with pain
Without the fear of it returning again

And now here I am
Unbound and whole
Wishing I wasn’t held back once more
Ever so close
Always so far
Falling apart

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.

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.
