You know just who I am
and still you want someone else
to cater to your whims
and place you on the highest shelf.
But what more can I do
when we are both set in our ways?
And every day that passes
I fall deeper in your craze.
Do you feel it too
or am I just a fool?
Can two hearts so different
master a love so cruel?
I never thought I’d want
a partnership so strange,
but what harm could come,
from a little loose change?

Stay or Go
Have you ever thought about leaving?
Just forgetting where you live.
The pain of staying hurts so bad
like a shot struck with a shiv.
And each day you’re forced to stay
is one more closer to your grave
like you’re digging it yourself
since it’s only death that you crave.
Have you ever thought of staying?
What difference could you make?
Knowing that hatred boils
leaving all your love at stake.

Blood and Tears
Come a little closer
and I’ll show you how I feel;
with my claws extended,
the pain you’ll feel is real.
A little scratch here
and a rip or two there,
you’ll know to stay away;
I think that’s more than fair.
This here is my space
and it’s best you steer clear
unless along with blood,
you wish to leak some tears.

Each scar tells a story
running straight to a nerve
as each tale unfolds
forgotten feelings emerge
and the words in the air
hang heavily about
soaking into each listener
baffled with doubt.
Each wound is a memory
both painful and true
of what happens to life
when it’s sent askew.

Up in Smoke
A split second
and all is gone;
the fire burns,
flames growing strong.
Standing solid
for many years
up in smoke
left with tears.
What pain, what sorrow
knowing still that life
life will bring tomorrow.

Stones unturned
and left
for moss to grow.
Ideas stuck,
prisoners
to those who know.
The past
left behind,
too heavy to tow.
Turmoil boils
hiding
in the depths below.
