You don't know me
You never have
If you think you did
Your judgement is sad
Stare me down
Like I'm the clown
Smile painted on,
But beneath is a frown
I'm so bad,
Yes I'm the fake
Beating myself up
For your own sake
Leave me alone
Please go away
I'm forgetting
You today.
Red rose
Blue violet
Blue sky
Dark twilight
Falling leaves
Brittle trees
Cold ground,
Gentle breeze.
Breathe in
Slowly inhale
Leave me then
Broken and frail
Priceless moments
Come and go
Is it real?
I do not know
The memory
Has slipped away
The happiness
Has begun to fade
Stab me now
Leave me dead
Leave me hanging
By a bare thread
Oh well
I guess I should be glad
There was some happiness
To be had.
Tear me open
Leave me scattered
Blood on the ground,
Clothing tattered
Left abandoned
Left alone
I have no place
To call my home
Who am I
An empty soul
I have no way
To pay my toll
I'm slowly dying
But who am I?
The conscience of youth
The youth who don't try
Intelligence sinking
There is no longer thinking
My mind is shrinking
You're watching and blinking
Goodbye.
Could you stop,
Just look at me
Take a moment
And you might see
There's a softer side to me
There's so much more that I could be
But I myself am lost at sea
I stole a ship, in attempt to break free
But these chains have held
No rust has formed
Though the thunder rolled
And the sea stormed
Waves came crashing down
Making an attempt to drown
I drift ashore
Always wanting more
What am I here for?
Am I searching for a cure?
I lay in sand
Reach for your hand
But it's not there
I'm chasing air...
Broken promises
And broken trust
Golden rings
Are left to rust
You broke her heart
You tore her down
You turned her smile
Into a frown
You led her on
Said you were true
But you're just scum,
That's nothing new
Superheroes
don't exist
They're just myths
To bend and twist
Wrap her round
Your finger well
And carry her
Slowly into hell
The minor warmth
Becomes a burn
But you've a lesson
Still to learn
Do not touch
My second soul
Or I will leave you
With no control.
One, two
Three, four
Tic, tac, toe
Play the game
Of life or death
Or have nothing to show
X's and O's
Scattered everywhere
What's even left anymore?
Lines through
Trios
The whole world is being washed ashore
X's or O's
No matter which you choose
Both sides of a battle
Either way, you're going to lose
Kind of like life
A never-ending game
But with one wrong move
Things will never be the same.
