You like to sit in silence
But I don't know how
My feelings rush the dam
And it's hard to keep them out
All the thoughts in my head
Are emotional mush
And if I open my mouth
I might say too much
When I finally give in
It all comes out wrong
So I hide in my mind
Listening to my fucked up song
The voices there talk shit
Just like me
About what I'll never have
And how no one loves me
I try to down them out
Try to shut them up
But what if they're right
And I'm not enough
Not enough time
Not enough space
Words feel like a waste
Trying to hard
Not trying enough
Hoping you don't call me bluff
Extra sensitive to the max
Always hiding behind my mask
Can't tear these walls down
Not just yet
I'll take the safest bet
No risk no gain is what they say
But pain a price to high to pay
Will I ever get this right
So I can finally sleep at night
Even though I wont catch a wink
With no one laying next to me
The loneliness is hard to bare
It's hard to find someone who cares
Love for me is just a dream
And life is never what it seems
Maybe I should just give up
Maybe living is enough
Maybe I'll retake my vow
I've been li
They say diamonds are a girls best frind, but I wouldn't know anything about that. I grew up in a, not so good but not so bad neighborhood in southern California. The closet I got to diamonds is a deck of cards. My favorite is the four of diamonds, thus how I got my start. I still remember the story like it was yesterday.
My sister and I were walking home that night from the ice cream shop that we frequented once a week back when everyone knew us as Melanie & Brooke. It all happened so fast; as we rounded the corner into the alley we used as a shortcut. Brooke saw them before I did "Look out!", she shouted but it was aready too late. The bat
You left me today
You even didn't say goodbye
I didn't know you were going
It just happened all of sudden
You snuck off when I wasn't home
You left me today
But not without breaking my heart
and it wasn't just me you left
I won't be the only one shedding
tears for you
or wishing you'd come back
You left me today
and I can't be mad
Can't tell you how selfish that was
Tell you how that makes me feel
Because you died today
and all I can do is miss you.
Wanna play. a. game.
oh boy do I ever I tell her though
I know how this ends
All tied up you'll be
if you play a game with me.
It will give you such a thrill
to give yourself into my will
Submit me to your every whim
I give myself up to this fate
With homornes bursting to the brim
And desire that I cannot sate
In round two I'll set you free
and that is when we'll truly see
Once and for all just how well
you keep your hands to yourself
You're a prize I can't resist
I want you now with out delay
But round two always has a twist
I know what you're going to say
You are not one to be tamed
for everytime it ends the same
You couln't wait t
Out of the darkness I have risen
To see your lovely face one last time
before it fades
But It’s not I who has forgotten you
Surely it is you who hath left me lying
in the mud
In a mixture of the ground beneath me
And the crystal tears that just won’t stop
coming
I’m a liar
but not to you to myself
Everyday I tell myself I’ve
moved on
That I can
forget you or that I already have
the little white ones that get me
through the day
Into the light I have plunged
Hoping for a clean slate but
Hoping is too
Do I like you I can't decide
Do I stay or run & hide
Do I want you I cannot say
Whether or not I feel that way
As for my heart I'll have to hide it
& show the world I'm undecided
Dyed green locks at shoulder length along
Along with beauty ther came strength
Eyes like patches of blue silk
Skin so soft & smooth
Beauty comes in many forms this time it's shape is human
Almost perfect in every way
It takes this shape four times a day.
These are the things going on inside
These are the things I try to hide
These are the things passing through my head
These are the things that make me wish i was dead
These are the things that bring me pain
These are the things that happen again
These are the things that will never fade
This is how i know I'll never be okay
Really cool but so mysterious
Fun to hang out with & yet so serious
I stare at you from across the table
& I wonder if I'll be able...
To shut my eyes or look away
Or even find the words to say.
I'll always feel your warm embrace
& see the image of your face
stained into my memories
______________ will always be.

i've seen the world
explode within your eyes,
i've seen the four year old
trapezed along your
thoughts.
this room is so big
yet all i can focus on
are these words.
your words.
don't call me babe,
don't treat me like i'm three.
this might be a fairytale,
but it's definitely not
neverland.
your giggles are
trapping me
between the breaths of air,
preshocks
to an earthquake.
you make me want to move to
kansas,
somewhere land locked
and secure.
the tectonic plates are shifting,
but it's your thoughts
that are shaking
my core.
you're so hypnotizing and mesmerizing
and frustrating and thought
confusing.
i don't know what to think,
you're
I see - you know the Game.
"Game?
Game?
What Game?"
Ah, you seem to have forgotten,
Must I remind you of the Game?
It is really tedious,
I mean, who doesn't know the Game?
Wait - what!?
You were being serious,
You actually don't -
NO!
Impossible I say!
My, you were just playing me, I see...
So tell me,
Is it true?
"Excuse me?"
Hmm, you seem confused,
Well I guess that it cannot wait,
We must start NOW!
"Oh, I remember
It's that weird one,
That Game,
I know the one."
I see,
Then this cannot be helped,
We all know a sinner when we see one,
Don't we?
Don't scream...

Literature
Overcome your Writer's Block
Overcome your Writer's Block:
If you want to deal with writer's block
the plan is simple, tickty-tock
Give in to madness, go insane
search for words in the midst of rain
When you hit the wall on its painted face
with your fingers and knees you'll find a trace
The secret passage that will lead you through
or perhaps you might be eaten by a grue...
Oh well...
Back to the rhymes that I use to explain
If you try to go forward it will be in vain
So try a new direction, upward or down
Left or right maybe Charlie Brown?
There are no limits except in your mind
Now do a google search and what do you find?
A pond of ideas now stagnant a
Happiness tastes like chocolate mousse
Fluffy and light it can satisfy you but you always want some more
Sadness tastes like a lemon
Harsh sour until you can't take anymore
And then you taste the sweet hidden in the bitter
Anger is hot sauce
Burning you with your watering eyes
And despite yourself you keep taking
More on your plate
Sorrow is most like a rotten strawberry
It's oddly sweet at first
But in the back of your mind you know something's wrong
After another bite
You see the corruption around your teeth marks
And you have to spit it all back up
Love tastes like salt
Not table salt, small crystal white
But the salt i
If I truly loved you,
I would cry out your name
until the sunrise sang it back to me,
I would take the stardust in the Auroras
and spread it across the mountaintops
so you could always find a rainbow.
If I truly loved you,
I would dive for every
pearl on the seabed
I would dig for every
diamond in the mines
then throw them all aside
to show you nothing but
the salt in my hair and the dirt under my nails,
knowing as I do that it is an insult
to present you with gifts your beauty outshines.
If I truly loved you,
I would bring you the first fire
and tell you my heart burns hotter.
Instead, I leave plums
on the windowsill in t
The gravestone hunches
like your shoulder in
the light of the sickle moon,
and I realize for the first time
that I miss you and perhaps
that getting drunk
amongst the dead is not
the best way to get you back.
My sister plays solitaire
against opponents I can't see.
She tells me it's in our nature
to win every game,
but when she cries over the
king of hearts, I find myself
wondering if victory is ever sweet.
You are the reader
listening with your eyes
hearing with your soul
Your eyes hanging on my every syllable
I am the writer
telling you a story
spinning you a tale
But it's more than just words
Because
I am an artist
Painting you a lettered picture
illustrating raw emotion
