You didn't have me at hello,
There was no love at first sight.
No heart skipping a beat right away,
No immediate connection.
Only a little chemistry,
And common interests.
We had friendship.
Love comes from friendship,
Not friendship from love.
And somewhere in-between,
Our first hello and this one,
I have fallen for you.

I Never Stay Up Late
And you'll never know
That the reason is you.
You'll never know
That I fill my days to fill the void
To sate the ocean
To empty the skies.
You'll never know
That I count the seconds
Till you return
To make me whole again
Make me feel again
Breathe life into me
Because I cannot gasp on my own.
You'll never know
The longing that drowns me in my tears
Lost little Alice
Cowering in a crowd
Frozen beside a fire
Forgotten in the memories locked inside
As the night passes by.
You'll never know
That I love you
Deeper than China
Farther than the moon
Bound tighter than
You'll ever know.

Murderous Marauders
In a field battered and broken
always still and has never spoken
hangs crushed and depressed, a scarecrow
his straw filled heart spewing with woe.
Every night the murder arrives
my fake, thin flesh is what they thrive
upon my crucifix my limbs are bound
amusement in this the murder found
Here come the cavalry, all ready to fight.
I try to fend them off with all my might
my face, oh no, they've taken my sight
surrounding me now an endless night
why can't someone bring me back the light
release me now I'm ready to fight
please come soon my morning, bright
until then....I'll hold on tight.
Down by the horizon I sense the dawn

Living in Shadows
15-11-10
(Quoted lines from: 'Discovering the Undiscovered' by: 'IceFireX')
For almost two months I've lived under the shadow of death...
Well, lived is a relative term.
I've survived...mostly.
"It's a full-time job not to lose my brain."
I spend all day locked in my room...
Except for when I go to therapy,
Or when the only two friends who care to show they care
Invite me around for a bit of randomness.
At both places, there is openness:
I can speak about what's on my mind,
What's eating my soul,
What's burning inside my heart.
But "how can I speak without knowing any words?"
I can't say what I want to say,
I cry so softly no one hears;
I huddle in the corner with my fears;
My wings cradle my little frame, and place my head against the wooden floor,
Only this thing and nothing more,
I've already cried all my tears and my eyes are dry,
I can't really say anything now, for, my throat is sore from screaming,
Blood pours from my self made cuts,
I stare horrified at my reflection in the jagged mirror;
My face is shattered in a thousand pieces;
And when I look at my back my wings and tore and jagged,
My eyes now follow the new grown wings;
My eyes now flaming red and I felt myself die again.
