A Mess of Future Heathens
Seeing the shadow in vision
Getting feared of what the great poison
Hiding out back to the scratch
Tired of being what they're interpreted
To be looked up in the sun
To be puked in deep water run
To be lost in relief distance
I was fight,
But no lights were made
So where is is heading through wind?
Passing it off to be betrayed and seen
That soak tree's been relied on
As this volt i...

Withered
She spoke such pretty little lies
That hypnotized
Oneself to bend at will
Slowly became to wilt
Like a rose without water
The beauty of red
Began to shed
Into a shattered brown
Cut down
Till there was nothing left
But a dead rose
And it's thorns.

Story
I saw the scars on your arm
And wondered
The story
If you needed somebody
Felt lonely?
Like nobody cared
I'd still be there
If you'd let me
Because there's a story
And I'd listen
To the words you speak
The sarcastic remarks
Tongue in cheek
The sadness behind the eyes
A friendship compromised
Something behind the silence
Word's never spoken
Connection's are hard to find
I tend to ...

The enemy
As I stare out this window
down to the little people of the world
I wonder and wish
what if i was the beautiful tall girl with the blonde curls?
can I see into her soul?
by staring out this tear streaked window?
can I have her life?
and trade her these frightening memories that float around in limbo...
shes so radiant and thin
Everything that I am sadly not
she ...

it’s mostly sadness, overall
it’s mostly sadness overall
though every time i turn that corner, i think of her smile.
i only have words for her
though i cannot speak them so she will hear, i wish i would have said them.
i love you.
and the dirt couldn’t say it back, so silence is my gift from her. silence, and the way i still th...

the lack of you
There have been numerous occasions where I'd have to close my eyes to stop from crying
Watery; blurry; black
Nights without you are sleepless
But I'm pretty sure you can sleep just fine
Even if you prefer another next to you, it's not that you prefer me
I could count the stars all night, but I'd still never sleep
And maybe I'd always blame insomnia for being the lack of ...

I'm sorry.
Broken
It’s a weird feeling.
Hating yourself.
Always.
I try so hard to put on a show
Always
To all of my friends
And my family
I need to be strong.
I don't want pity
I don't want to be a charity case
I’ve always been the person people come to for advice
And I’ve always been there for all my friends
And goddammit, I wish they were there for me
I me...

We Were Who We Were
It was 1990 when we met,
before we were who we were.
The nineties were running through sprinklers
in summer,
playing whiffle ball in the yard,
popsicles,
make-believe games, stick horses,
and dances to Green Day.
The 2000s were much the same,
with crushes, dear diaries,
womanhood, and makeup
sprinkled about like the dandelion seeds
we used to blow into...

A Suicidal, Drunk, Insomniac
I have forgotten the feeling of what normality means.
I float around within a numbness submerged within a dream.
I see the world pass faster every single day.
I see my end come closer, I see the future become shorter;
I can’t help but slaughter the time as I begin the decay.
It’s hard to find blame, but it’s a rationale thought to try and understand how this happened.
The worse ...

First Snow
I’m disappointed and surprised
you turned the block and hit my eyes
ugh, the first snow in New York
it’s barely fall and now I’m cold
I wanted you gone so I wouldn’t fold
through the panic I bundle up
I’ve got to focus or we’ll be stuck
I can’t believe it’s fucking you
gliding towards me heart beats steadily
dangling hair, your own kind of weaponry
if you come any closer
soon we’ll be s...

I Am Not Free
I am not free
but tense and unwavering
I am not heard
but roused and spoken for
I am not seen
but misguided and reassured
I am not understood
but manipulated and suppressed
I am not felt
but raped and ashamed
I am not yours
but degraded and sold
I am not inanimate
but painted and wound up
I am not free, how could I ev...

Too Close
I hate pretending
a way of fending
off others mending
from themselves
another good thing
lost like a shoe string
problems I do bring
lack purpose
show yourself to me
paint it heavenly
it ends tragically
I’m confused
because you were here
I filled you with fear
now you’ve disappeared
it’s my fault
I live with a space
like a buffer place
beca...

Going, going but not gone
I think it’s finally my time
I’m fading to the back of the line
there’s not much left inside my mind
just sit still and watch me go
As far as I can’t think
I’m damaged, my kinks
try to fix them, I won’t stop you
do what you want, I’m lost without you
I thought you’d make me feel better
now I ache and it’s not the weather
you said that feeling was beneficia...

Stars Cross
do we subsist together
I feel so far away
born between sowed leaves
my own land and sea
different enough to feel lost
similar enough to connect
individuals so complex
experience, goals, struggles
crystal clear and opaque bubbles
it seems impossible
how we manage
simultaneously in tandem
when in orbit, will we meet
you see me and I, you
I touch you and yo...

Me Not Me
Me, where is she
squeeze my skin, the flesh
it’s not me
I love me
the love I have lives deep
it’s far, so far beneath my cheeks
I wish I could hug me
to make myself believe
that with a finger touch it’s me
so then I’d see
that I am not this temporary body
and what I am is free
but Earth demands an anchor, you see
unfortunately for me
because it becomes all...

Missing Soul
I come to at half past three
in the middle of the night
and these images won't erase
I'm haunted by the tape
once it is light
your hands disappear
my brain is mine
and my limbs come crawling back
but the tape keeps playing
I know there's no escape
because night always falls
then I fall into you
and my mind leaves me
with no thoughts left to think
I make my way
the void is frictionle...

In remembrance
All that I can do
Is sit slack jawed
And picture you,
A vision of kindness
Nurturing us with
Clay soaked hands
I lost a constant reference,
A personification of grace
When I lost you
Now a hazy memory
I can only
Strive to complete and become
From clouded dreams
Of watching you be.

Two Separated Stars
Two Separated Stars
- Reinmari
Sunlight clasps the earth
Moonbeams kiss the sea
I've watched as the sun kills itself
To let the moon breathe
I've always known the story
Of mountain, river and ocean.
Mountains mingle with the river
And rivers with the ocean
But as long as..
Pale stars still shine above
Falling leaves are still dancing
Cupid and Psyche are still inlove
Los...

Incompetent
{Incompetent?}
It’s not funny when
someone says you are
incompetent making
you feel useless and
pathetic because of a
massive debilitating
illness and disease
making that person
weak and infirm like
they shouldn’t even be
in existence in this evil
corrupted world

Once
{Once}
Once I held his love
and affections so
deeply embedded
into my heart so it
would never apart
Until the day my brown
eyed rough tough with
the heart of perfection
left my side when an
horrible accident
happened that's when
my heart was ripped
straight out of my chest
leaving a gaping hole
there where his love
once remained at

When You've Took Away All My Will Power
{When You've Took Away All My Will Power}
When you've took away
all of my will power as a
human being and as a
woman as well I have
lost my dignity I feel
ashamed of myself
constantly I feel like that
I have to hide my real
self and I have to hide
my face and my body
from everyone because
I might not meet their
standards and that you

{I'll Bet You'll Start Loving Me?}
One day I'll bet you'll
start loving me when I
start loving someone
else which isn't you
But you had that
chance but you chose
someone else to love
besides me
One day I'll bet you'll
start loving me when
you see I am better
without you
But you chose her
and not me

He Plays Cat And Mouse Games
(He Plays Cat And Mouse Games)
As he chases me and many
more women because
he likes to play
little cat and mouse game's with me
but I am tired of running away
from him and now
you have all the other women that you are chasing
Because I am gone
And we will not
have no more
playing cat and
mouse game's

Dear Brother,
Yet another

wintery snowy

Cage
Been turning myself to blue and green,
Trapping and locking myself in this fucking cage
Again
And I can't, I cannot, I will not
Let you in here.
Nothing more can rely on me.
And i will spend my days putting stoicism and serenity on pedestals,
And I will be hopeless and choked
And my heart will be lurching
And it passed right by me,
But I realise now that no hand is so...

Bad Luck With Love
{Bad Luck With Love}
He was my love that cought my ? heart by the thing's he would say and show me but now he faded away like our love never meant anything to him
But it did me for what it's worth now

I miss my sister by blood she once was my sister not just the sister she's pretending to be today

Because as children we laughed, cried, played and loved each other like only blood sister's could do

But as we grew up got older...

The Pain
{The Pain}
There is pain in my? heart that always hurts so deep that it never departs from my aching? heart
And it's the pain of us being apart
A bad pain of our two heart's being so broken and torn apart
That never makes it's final departure

Don't Wait
{Don't Wait}
Don't wait until it's to late to tell someone how much you do love, miss them and how much you do care
Because when they are gone no matter how loud you holler, yell, scream, shout and cry they won't be able to hear you anymore
Because it's to late because they are dead and gone

Tears In Her Eye's
{Tears In Her Eye's}
The tears in eye troubled sad eyes that flowed down her trouble worrisome cheeks as he laid beside her fast asleep as she slowly laid her head down on the wet pillows that was underneath her head without him even hearing her cry so as she cried and wepted for him because even though he laid beside of her she felt like she was alone in their bed and like what did I do ...

I hope. I want. I remember.
I hope you think of me every night in your dreams.
I hope you see me in everyone you date.
I hope you wish I would come back.
I hope you see me and feel the pain I felt while we were together.
I hope you hear my cries, feel my pain and see my tears.
I hope every time you close your eyes you see me with him.
I want you to hate yourself for everything you’ve done to me

Goodbye
It all felt like it happened yesterday
When you and I finally stayed away
I love you is an empty word we say
When we have no intention to stay
We never stopped trying
Keeping us from hurting
More than what is intended
From all the past lies
Beneath our shaking hands and hidden scars
Of broken promises and empty vows
Loaded guns that fires the bullet
To the st...

Sane × Insane
Why do you expect so much good in other people
Why do you pray so much under every steeple
How can you be ok to be disappointed all the time
And hurt yourself with so much hope inside
You’ll never learn your lesson if you try to be blind
To The bad side of people you try to hide
And let them inside your heart again
Is it a crime to let them cause you so much pain
To the poi...

It dawns under my skin
Today is in an outcast dream
that I strongly seek in this twist of fate
of orphaned humanity
It dawns beneath my skin and I look in the mirror,
the same one in which I frequently see myself;
it always returns me to the terrible place
where my dreams were mutilated
Restless, without answers,
I would like to invent words that embrace life;
I cannot stand the look...

Sick
Sick
An illness is vicious
Any can be frightful from pneumonia to cancer
It’ll make all of your loved ones suspicious
Now the worst isn’t the goodbying
Losing your roar as your fire burns out is
Or never being able to kiss your beautiful wife once you’re dying
Smoking your last cigarette
Your lungs fill with smoke and doubt
Your chances of living are to those of Rus...

Fears of being rotten to the core
Here I sit with a candle lit
As I rest and wait to commit.
To a life of blue skies and angels,
As I try to ignore the pain sensation.
Whilst being overcome with isolation.
Trying in vain to think of happy thoughts,
As the devil looks on and applauds,
And laughs and jeers right in my face,
Since he knows that he is winning the race,
As he picks up a faster pace.

Without Excuses
Life frozen
Asperities immobile
Wounds deplete everything
Lives fall and are lost, sliding over the mud
The graves of the fallen mourn
Dialoguing between shadows of hatred and resentment, twilight stops
Without excuses, I am placed between the eyelids of an empty city
Groaning distress
Not premature conclusions; it is real
Everything stops

The saddest lines...
I can write a sad poem tonight
I can write a hundred mourning verses
and hand them over in the palm of your hand
My words grow uncontrollably raw,
your lost vows accompany this sleepy wakefulness
Night is saddened
Shyly listen to my raining phrases,
I'm not blaming the why of your silence;
I fought, but have no way to address
the vacuumed feeling through my ski...

Inspiration...
Why have you abandoned me, if I didn’t ask you to?
It is you who impels my pulses that grow and flourish warmly, brightly,
filling me with peace,
letting me fly to unimagined places
Why are you so quiet
if deep down you know that I have your lineage
and the lyrics in my heart
You who hold my hands
showering my words with rapture
I cannot help but to adore you

A Cry in the Silence
My day is languishing...
The clean lace of joy flew out with daylight
My hours saturated with sadness,
your cruel love was that mix of betrayal
that played with the best of my dreams
I never, never felt so much pain...
and every day your indifference crumbles me
The love you gave me one day,
they were shadows, they were fantasies
