Close your eyes, fall into sleep
For your soul is mine to keep
No longer here, I'll help suffocate
You on your ashes and eradicate
...

Listen, hush my child
Dont make a sound.
The room is calm and mild
And the snow hits the ground.
...

I can sit on this white porch
Look at you from afar
The sun will rise beyond your step
As I swing from the dark
...

Where did his thoughts lie?
At the bottom, destined to die
Before he could take ahold
And reshape their twisted mold
...

Oh night sky, why taunt me?
Your beauty can only mesmerize.
With your lids open for all to see
And the night chariot on the rise.
...

Sometimes you feel the air suffocate
Wrapping around your lungs
As you struggle to gasp and breath
The chronic lapse of fear in your eyes
...

You gave my soul a whole new meaning
You helped stop the internal bleeding
I wouldn't have walked these sands
If you never handed me the will to try
...

Sometimes the world turns on you
Waters ravage your lonely shore
The sky offers no remorse
Beyond the abysmal pale
...

Father, you face the mountain
I bet it's pretty, gorgeous even
You probably sit by your stone
And watch days pass, unending
...

I don't know why I stop at the red light
At night
Maybe just to avoid a confrontation with
The boys in blue
...

He thinks about your desires, love mostly
Whether you love your boyfriend
More than you loved him
Or even loved him at all
...

A heavy dew splashes my window
52 Degrees of cold mist outside
Too cold to touch
Beautiful to stare
...

If I may twirl, I'll twirl only
With you dear
Your hand in mine
Slowly stepping
...

Solitary, fog begins to shroud the
Stillness in the night with
Sounds of creeping shadows
Shattering the sweet silence that
...

There's never a day that goes by
When life storms the beaches
Of your conscious and attacks
Every strain of sanity you behold
...

I hate you? That cannot be
I want you, don't you see?
You are my star that shines so bright
Like the pale moon across the night.
...

Towers, no longer high
Time has stopped.
Skies changed.
Rearranged.
...

I'll leave behind these parts
Of me that weigh my head down
As I lay to rest, dear old agony
I am no man of God, nor follower of evil
...

A triangle can't be a square
When a circle feels like
A rectangle transforming
Into an octagon structured
...

Are you hidden among the clouds?
There's nothing in
The way of
Rays that have been
