CUTS
When I think of her I think of scars.
She told me when she touches them they remind her of the cuts;
of how the cuts made her feel,
“it’s a purge”, she said, “a sense of being real".
She spoke to me with honesty of the incremental cost
of destroying the things she held so dear
now irretrievably lost.
Of how, through her inner turmoil,
she could meet the gi...

You And Me L.S.D.
What humanity needs is to take some acid,
Take a tab kick back and get blasted,
There's more to this world than what our eyes can see,
The first time I took acid it truly set me free,
I had never in my life experienced joy like that before,
I have never been that happy in life I am sure,
Then I had a realization and tears poured down my face,
I didn't want to leave that blissf...

BLUR
Give me a broken mirror.
Hide the blemishes and blotches
That impairs and disfigures.

So unpredictable.
So sharp and so cunning
Is the pain that run through me,
Hideous yet so stunning.
I want to keep it here,
I want to feel it's cold aching
Blood spilling from me
My heart is still breaking
What if I want it to stop?
Please, leave me alone!
It'll be there. Waiting.
For me to decay down to bones.
Maybe that's what I wa...
