Six feet deep

We said everything was perfect
Until your body, pressed on mine
Turned into cold, hard marble
Which buried me inside.

Rolling over, six feet deep,
The thick, dry dirt is comforting
It muffles the sound of my cries
So no one can hear me scream

The flowers growth right through me
In my everlasting sleep
Can't you see the beauty
That lies rotting in this heap?

The angry river washed over me
Drowning all my youth
An oblivious plunge into a watery grave
Cleansing me of hope
With the harshest waves of truth

And the wings that should have lifted
Are now burning up beside me
Fickle ashes falling down
Drifting aimlessly.

And I kiss the earth surrounding
Filling my mouth and suffocating
I breathe it in, and it sucks the life out of me
This sickening hunger, never abating

Pull that trigger now
Watch the flood of red petals
Deliver me from this powerlessness
Made by those words
That shot out like metals.

And those false, loving hands
Wound tightly around me
Strangling my dreamland
But oh, ever so gently.

Here, sweet, harrowing death
Come closer, beside me
Save me from this place
But do not soil your hands
Please, won't you allow me

Those sharp bitter tongues
Slice right through
No screaming now
Listen please, they're here to help you

If there is no more
Play the funeral procession
I just need some peace
Or divine intervention.

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.
