Risking it all

The killing of a heart
Murdering of a soul
Tearing love apart
Rendering me whole

Hold me here eternal
Cry out in my mouth
Now I am unbroken
Forgetting I am mortal

Persuaded to this danger
So passionately masochistic
Seduced not by a stranger
By a familiar mouth covered in my lipstick

What a melancholy reality
This despicable virtue
A perforated entity
More than we can hold on to.

The loss and return of reason
The pain and love spun in this cocoon
A romance lasting just one season
A hurt that returns with each moon

Do you dare risk it?
Can you hold the truth?
It might all be worth it
To hold on to your youth

When everything is magic
When a dream comes true
When you need, not want to have it
When a gaze has staged a coup

How much you can ignore
How much you'll overcome
When a heart can be so sure
And a mind can be so dumb

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.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
