Death by murder- death by chance
Death by secret night romance
Death by number- paint the lines
Death in color, or black and lie
...

Legs are shaking
Barrier’s breaking
Please forgive me
I’ve been sinning
...

Sun is bright. Birds are singing.
The air is thick and heavy.
Knock, knock- no one’s home.
Key turns and we’re alone.
...

Bruised lips;
Mascara smeared-
Panties lying
Over there.
...

Red roses on piano keys
She's on her knees.
Black sky against green leaves
She's bleeding.
...

I'm hanging on to hopes and dreams,
Afraid of losing everything..
Hating myself for breaking the rules;
Disgusted that I fell for you.
...

A stir of emotions, thoughts racing through-
Can't help but keep my mind on you.
Giving a little, in hopes of a lot,
I'm praying I am good enough
...

They wear their business suits in public
With their business faces, too.
But at night they tear their stage sets down
And pay their backdoor dues.
...

Sweetest lie I’ve ever heard-
A blank shadow of the deepest word.
Turned from champagne to vinegar on your tongue-
Spilling from a mouth that’s far too young.
...

Closure is a noose, I’m finding now.
I am breaking loose and crying out.
It fits like a tragedy.
In the mirror I can see..
...

Yes, I miss you.
I’m waiting for you.
But I won’t lie awake in this dream forever.
And I am with you.
...

Where are you tonight?
The world is so quiet
But my heart is pounding so loud without you.
And what’s the sky look like?
...

This mess is getting out of hand.
Or is it just falling into place?
Losing sense of what’s only pretend
I’m falling fast from grace.
...

Light is shining through.
Shedding truth on the depths of you.
A picture is taken. A memory saved.
The black ink in an angel’s name.
...

Take my hand, you can trust me.
I can feel it- that lust for ecstasy.
Close the door, it’s so damn late.
And there’s no time to vindicate.
...

Reality is shaken with a desperate plea-
Another soul has been set free.
Thick tears falling, breaking ground-
Where tragedy screams, there is no sound.
...

Lipstick stains on wedding days
Smiles that turned a different way
Standing there she's waiting, waiting
In pain, but always praying
...

Between these promises and these memories
In the midst of this it's just you and me
And if I had to guess then surely I would say
That I'm headed where I'd not aimed to stray
...

A toast to us,
Another night spent apart.
Liquor and love,
Yeah, you're breaking my heart.
...

Bring me down from this high

Find me peace to sleep tonight
...
