Portrait

one life bleeds into another the different masks i wear find each other now all transparent i stand at the precipice of what created man no god, no devils, just us at the end of our rope a blinding perspective we're all alone everything i thought i was slipped through my fingers and fell like …

Bone Collector

I have never thought that the blood we spill Was thicker than the walls we build Until fate chooses to guide my eyes a different direction All I see is red And thank god it's only water that separates you from me But that decay passed on just the same The disease that holds your …

Stranger

My memory will fade like sun-beaten window stickers Barely legible but somehow still in attendance Lurking, twisting, peeling Peeling back layers upon layers of skin Scar tissue from way back when I thought what I thought I could handle Panic attacks breaking glass in the back of my head And I wait, oh, how I …

In Memory

Finding my place wherever I'm lost. They say love isn't worth the pain, no matter what it costs. But see lately I haven't been the same. I've got all this pleasure mixed with pain. And fused it all together with loss. But I can't stop the bleeding, I'm running out of gauze. Pulling away when …

Broken Things

Cigarette burns on the carpet. I've been stuck, staring at the ceiling again. I feel you in between the studs in the walls. The voices keep raising the price on my head. I watched you rise like a statue out of reality. To come and focus your weight onto me. A weight I would proudly …

Haunt

I have a universe beneath my skin. A rib cage harboring panic and love. Self-fulfilling, self-defeating prophecy. I never believed I could find my way up above. When the down below murders its way in. Attacking whatever was a sure thing. I was supposed to be something more. But I've been out of touch. I've …

Lesser

The straight line drawn from you to me is blurred. But poor me, I have been burned. It's all in my head. Confusion, a flawed reality mocked and scorned by your delusion. Narcissism, self-deception, your downfall leaves you empty-headed. The shadows you swept me into became the place I called my own. Hone my strength, …

Devil I Know

  I've been beating my head against walls of dirt. What was supposed to be a grave becomes a home. I learned how to build it under shame and self-hatred. I traded away all my light for false approval. To say I beat the odds, against it all. But winning never felt like winning. I …

Stray

My thoughts have been so elusive. Endlessly searching for some type of belonging. The damaged child grew into a broken man. With pieces missing, whole happiness stolen away. The slow hum of time has latched on to my sanity. Drawing out the thoughts that I am not enough. That I've never been, never will be. …

..Into the Black

The world is a cruel place. Not bending to the likes of fairness or justice. I've taken all I can take. Sweating out my righteous mind. You put on the song and dance, the authorities really bought it. Good, build that ego, build that pedestal. The bigger they are, the harder you fall. Maybe if …
