Roses Are Black

Roses are black,
thorns are dead,
the boggy marsh,
it fills my head.

Something to say,
trapped inside,
no way to express it,
there it shall die.

Just like all the others,
that have passed me before,
I should have expected nothing different,
it's the same as before.

I in my dark cloak,
them at their guns,
the battle continues,
there is no fun.

Screw your love,
the love I need to find,
when you hold me in you in your arms,
when I wrap you in mine.

I am angry,
yes angry at you,
for not being there,
when I need you,
when I want you.

Angry at myself,
for being angry at you,
poisoned flowers,
the things I loose.

Prick my finger,
my blood runs black,
you figure it out,
I laugh at your attack,
your roses,
they are black.

As I turn,
to walk away,
I have nothing left to give,
no reason to stay,
and no clue,
what made it that way.

I am gone,
into the night,
running from nursemaids,
I was born to fight.

I can fight,
not part of who I am,
but something learned,
out like a lamb.

It's real.....

Mirror mirror shining black,
that I step into,
then look back.

'Tis myself I see,
I see what is wrong,
what I have done to me.

I shall leave the world,
far behind,
make myself happy,
allowing others to choose,
that was my crime.

The roses,
they are black,
I am wounded,
I'm catching too much flak.

Everything....
it always fades to black....
the roses are black....

'Twasn't There Before

There was a knock,
a knock at my door,
again no one was there,
just like many times before.

The shadows on the wall,
dance and take flight,
swarming around me,
amongst the candle light.

If I Forget

If tomorrow,
I don't remember a thing,

if tomorrow,
I do not act the same,

if tomorrow,
it rains,

will you still be there,
with open arms,
will you still care,
with all your grace,
with all your charm?

Through all the pain,
sometimes I just don't know,
don't know anything,
I hope I don't forget,
the happiness you bring.

This liquid night,
it fills my head,
squeezing tight,
falling,
while I'm snuggled in my bed.

If I forget,
will you still be there,
holding my hand?

If I forget,
I'll be a stranger,
walking in a strange land.

If I forget,
my mind slipping,
beneath the sands of time,
will you still be there,
to hold me when I cry?

If I forget,
if I loose my mind,
will you still love me,
like the way you said,
time after time?

If I forget,
will you remember,
remember I love you,
even if I forget?

Will you remember,
remember for us both,
if I forget?...

Grain of Salt

Over my shoulder,
I toss for luck,
my geometric home,
but life still sucks.

This perfect cube,
in which I'm trapped,
in which I live,
this life of crap.

My mouth draws shut,
as I lick the walls,
I take everything,
with a grain of salt.

Grain of salt,
in all my food,
it's all my fault,
always my fault.

This cubical home,
covers the earth,
in every person,
in every inch of dirt.

Grain of salt,
it's in my sweat,
in my tears,
day after day,
year after year.

Grain of salt,
sickening to the taste,
as my body falls apart,
as my body goes to waste.

This grain of salt,
it's killing me,
I'd rather eat chalk,
I can not flee.

Stop screwing around with me,
I'd rather go quick,
I'll give you the knife,
my heart you can prick.

Grain of salt,
trapped within geometric home,
I wish things were different,
I wish I were gone...

Grain of salt,
stop following me,
grains of salt,
everywhere I see.

Salt of the earth,
I wretch in pain,
everything to loose,
nothing to gain....

Gone

In my veins,
blood runs thin,
ice flows underneath my blue skin.

With this dagger,
a finger prick,
on the wall a clock ticks.

A drop of blood,
hits the ground,
Earth screams,
a horrid sound.

Icy droplet,
on the floor,
life rushing out the door.

No one looks,
no one cares,
whenever you need them,
no one is there.

GONE!!!

Dark Paradise

Black flame,
a fiery storm burns,
my secret name,
no one has learned.

Upon troubled dreams,
whispers come to heart,
they speak of lies,
and of trust that is torn apart.

Such beautiful flesh,
a temple,
for the hideous spirit within,
and with each lie it speaks to me,
it grows more vile and grim.

I'm living in a dark paradise,
I'm drowning in all the lies,
I'm living in a dark paradise,
I watch blood innocence die.

I watch lives destroy themselves,
yet my lips are bound,
when people hide their true selves,
they wither into the ground.

Are you good,
are you evil,
doesn't matter to me,
but when you hide from yourself,
lie to everyone else,
you are no good to me.

I'm living in a dark paradise,
I watch the blackness grow,
I'm living in a dark paradise,
it's secrets I know.

I have been violated,
my trust has been lost,
to those people,
their blood i spew from my mouth,
my wrath is their cost!

I'm living in a dark paradise,
it fades from day to day,
I'm dieing in a dark paradise,
everything fades away....

Brie

Succulent flavor,
explosion in my mouth,
I am in heaven,
my mind goes south.

Such a treat,
eating brie,
food of the wealthy,
even though I know it's not me.

I do not sip wine,
I can not afford it you see,
they say fine cheese should be eaten with wine,
nope,
not for me.

Sipping on cola,
caffeine fills my veins,
eating my cheese,
while the rich brats laugh and taunt me by name.

I'm eating my cheese,
what's so special,
I can not see,
in drinking wine,
and eating cheese.

Not much different,
than an RC Cola and a Moon Pie,
I'm half way in between,
accepted by neither side!

I do not say a word,
nor do I care,
let their cheese mold to black,
who ever said life was not fair?

I eat their fancy cheese,
and belch their name,
mocking them with my cola,
mocking all of their fame,
I eat their cheese,
and drink my cola in shame,
in their eyes,
I live in shame...

Liquid Night

I am drowning,
in liquid night,
it fills my lungs,
I feel it's bite.

Semi-metallic liquid,
my breath it robs,
nothing here can survive,
all I can do is sob.

It stings my mind,
drowning everything from view,
un-noticed crime,
nothing I can do.

I am drowning,
in liquid night,
I am frowning,
there is no light.

Liquid night,
in it I can not swim,
liquid night,
I can not win.

Liquid night,
filling the void,
filling me with fright,
feeling annoyed.

Liquid night,
robs everyone of their friends,
liquid night,
trying to bring a quick end.

Liquid night,
sings silence song,
liquid night,
evil's throng.

Liquid night,
angry mixture,
horrid picture.

Drowning,
in liquid night...
