Your sword vs my pen

The bruises that you hide
Conceal the pain inside.
The scars that never fade,
The vodka, the razorblades.
...

I wanted to be that iceberg,
The crash and fall into.
You disappear; will we ever meet again
At the tip of this scene?
...

You lie on the tarmac
In shimmering lace,
Shivering, hiding your face.
My tongue can still taste
...

This is the board,
This game we all play-
Fighting for the top spot in your heart
...

I wish the stars could cry-
The sky, bled dry
By your desire.
...

Hopelessly lonely;
I thought I’d get through it alone,
But you twisted my arm
And made me do it.
...

Your religion doesn’t carry
On this frequency,
The empty streets are deaf,
And dreaming for themselves.
...

Drown the world out
In cold grey sound,
Spin round until my vision fails,
And everything is veiled black.
...

This pen doesn’t speak
The words
The way you do.
I’m running out of ink,
...

Your handsome seat-
Upon a throne of rotting meat
You sit so proud.
A clown,
...

My heart will burn
For you
Until the stars die.
Forever aflame, lighting my way
...

If everything you hide, you said,
Meant nothing,
Open wide-
Admit the truth,
...

The art of keeping a secret
While telling the truth…
I followed your instructions,
Suppressed my appetite for destruction,
...

I’m late- “Come in,
The party’s in full swing.”
All heads hung limp,
Nodding on springs-
...

She rubs her eyes-
The blurry skies
Fade out to black
As hope finally dies.
...

I shield you from the breeze,
...

It’s a melancholy sound
That leads you to this town,
But now you’re here,
Your straw head will burn.
...

You caught the clues,
But missed the one piece
Of vital evidence-
The peace you needed to lock me away.
...

There’s something in the way
Your heart beats,
And you lips move softly,
Silently caressing the words
...

The rain,
Falling slowly, like the shadows
Of a thousand moments past,
A glimpse into the future,
...
