My heart is a river

My heart is a river
Flowing through my chest
But in your cold embrace
I find it frozen in place
There's a tear in my flesh
And through it escapes my breath
Carrying lines
That bleed tears from my eyes
Your words are bullets
That rip through my organs
And you lead me through streets
While i walk blindly in tow
But
You think with your feelings
and your instincts
Are as trustworthy
As the lies you feed me
So as you put on your favorite dress
And i gradually fill with distress
Will you stare at the stars
And for a second
Stumble upon the world
That I'm trapped in
As it races towards a sun
Waiting to burn up my existence
An event which i cannot avert
For i am hypnotized by the static
As i try to make sense of a screen
Reminding me of the past
Distracted only by the sound
Of birds
Fleeing from the winds of change
But i heed not their warning
For i cannot wait
To be wrapped in its embrace
And see as the world around me
Fade to black
And when i open my eyes again
I find myself
Resting in the clouds

Spare Me This

Spare me this
Im tired of it
All this time
Brooding in my heart
A hatred for myself
Building up until
Giving up seems more pleasant
Please just let me let go
And fall into a sleep
That will allow me peace
A silent night of rest
In this never ending pain
My heart is at bursting point
some say that giving up
is a sign of weakness
But what if its just showing
you have the strength
To let go.

Wished for another chance

I wished you goodbye
But i hoped you would stay
I scorned your name to the sun
But wished you where there as i stared at the moon
For as the stars fell around me
I wanted nothing more than to take you hand in mine
As i turned away
Filled with sadness at the sight of you
I wished you would take me into your embrace
So i left town and started anew
But i was flooded with thoughts of you
I couldn't throw away the photos in my hand
Or escape the pain that floods my house
So as it rised above my head
And i began to drown in my feelings
I begged for a way to escape
My lungs filled and through my windows
I saw you all
Dearest of friends, desperately trying to save me
Offering help, attempting to guide me through this
But my breath had left me
And i couldn't find the words needed
To help them help me
So i waved my good bye
as i drifted into the void
Accepting my fate as it was written
But secretly i wished for another chance
To do it again
To do it differently

Hurt

I do hurt
But i don't cry
You'll not see me shed a tear
Not even those closest
See me weep
But i do hurt
I know I'm not alone
This feeling fills everyone
For some its a seasonal curse
I wish it goodbye
But secretly it locks to my heart
I was sitting alone
When an angel came to sit next to me
And whispered "Do you need me"
I stared at her silently, Tears filling my eyes
A key was round her neck
There to free me from my chains of hurt
But i turn away
And mumble my goodbye
She ascends to the heavens above
As i find myself alone
I weep
I couldn't believe the chance i gave up
But i couldn't find the words
And so it was lost to me
I just stood in silence
As winter arrived
And swept a cold chill through me
Reminding me of the day i found the remedy
And how my moods change with the seasons
And it seems to me that a cure is out of reach
But ill sit on my perch
Hurting silently
Until that angel once again
Comes to rescue me

Alive

Am i still alive
is this what it is
To have a heartbeat
To have blood through my veins
A light in my eyes
It feels as if
Its all pointless
Or is it
Sparks of life appear in the dark
And fill me with joy
But the winds of change are cold
And sweep them away fast
So i close my eyes
And dream of a better path
That i could take
But everyone is at a crossroad
And it hurts to chose
Whats the point in a heart
When all you do
Is rip it out and stitch it back in

Our flawed world

We are suppressed
We are inslaved
We are servants
No longer is power in the people
No longer is there freedom of speech
No longer is there freedom of opinion
We are guided like sheep
We are herded like cows
We are lambs to the slaughter
Communism leads poverty
Liberalism leads us to anarchy
Fascism leads us to dictatorships
We are surrounded by our governments
We are inprisoned by or countrys
We are repressed by our leaders
Peace marches lead to riots
Revolution leads to civil war
Coup leads to slughter
Cultur is dead
Peace is a myth
Freedom is bansihed
The vicious cycle has trapped us
The wave of change has drowned us
For once
we can do nothing
and we have descended
into a state of Decadence
And our flawed world
Is ready to burn us
And purge its surface
Ready for a new start

Earths Eternal War

Clouds of fire
And Electric storms
Sheets of ice
And Winds of Chill
Elements rage against us
Fromm all directions
Assaulting us
Attacking us
The world turns
Its jagged blade against us
It raises it razor axe
To swipe the cutting blow
We retaliate
By eating at its forests
Carving into its mountains
Poisoning it air
Draining it Seas
Who attacked first
Who started this war
Who cares
No matter the outcome
We lose.

Extents of lonliness

A mountain climb above the clouds
A sunken city under the ocean
A broken army beneath the dust
A lonesome climber
A single recovered body
A abandoned soldier
The extents of loneliness
Run deep in our lives
Our veins bleed out or woes
And our blades are our only condolence
Life spirals out of control
Through our lonliness
We have an eternal companion
These are
The extents of lonliness

KIll me

This is to much
The years of pain
And anguish
How is it all worth it
This is to much
The hours of abuse
And the list of addictions
How is it all worth it
This is to much
All the looks of hate
And words of disgust
How is it all worth it
This build up of stress
And feeling of loss
How is it all worth it
A race to death
A fall from grace
How is it all worth it
This is to much
Just Kill Me

Today Im Aggravated

Today i am aggravated
I am enraged by all around me
The ones i love Get under my skin
My friends cause me to clench my fists
This is through no fault of there own
Today i woke to a sunshine unnerved me
A bell rang that shattered my ears
I ate the food that cause me stress
My music cut through to my bones
And the cold wind ripped at my flesh
I wanted nothing more than to crawl under my bed
I wanted sleep
I wanted peace

Dead Man

Dead man
Were you ever alive
Living life with its restriction
Following your fellow country men
Like lambs to the slaughter
Under the banner of false pretences
Marching to the beat of others drums
Not following a path of your own
Dead man
When put in your grave
Was that the highlight of your life
Was your funeral the thing
That people will remember you for
Was that final rose on your coffin
Your only medal
And that 21 gun salute
Your final battle cry
Will your widow weep on your grave
Will your brothers hunt down your killer
Will your children remeber you
As Dad Or Father

My Heart

My heart
My heart brakes
My heat brakes like the ice
My heart brakes like the ice that your trapped under
Scratching at the surface
Trying to save you
Proving to be an arduous mission
I scream and claw
as your face turns to a solem expression
Of utter lose
And your lips once red
Have gone blue
your smile once full of life
Dead and drowning in the piercing cold
Icicles grip your heart
and pierce your lungs
Not a last word do you utter
but instead just slip
beneath my reach
And out my heart

Did You Stop To Think Of Me

As you crept down the hall
Shouting your words of hate
Did you even stop to think of me
Its just something that id like to know
If you looked back or did you just walk away
As my happiness is torn from me
Do you even stop in the doorway
To think of me
How this affects me
Damn if being high is what it takes
to make you alive
Then i want nothing more
Than to fall asleep in a state
Of mind that i will never awake from
Cause as my ladder to heaven burns beneath me
Do you even stop to think of me
As you fuel the flames to catch me on my rise
This pain tears at my heart
with rendering claws of desire
To rid me of my conscience
My state of being

Change

I look at you know
With eyes of indifference
I hear your name
And i don't know whether to cringe or smile
I see you laugh
And i don't know whether to be glad or despise you
I look at you and you've changed
For better or worse you've changed
And i don't see within you
The light that sparked your eyes before

Mary had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
And any where that Mary went
The Lamb was sure to go
One day Mary sold the lamb
And to the slaughter house it did go
Filled with panic and fear
he watched his fluffy bretheren
Roast on open fires and hang from rusty hooks
Betrayed Our hero lamb felt
For the one he trusted sold him out
And walked off with not a look back
Now his neck is bound to the ground
and his hoofs are stapled in place
A knife is raised to his neck
And he bleats out his final thoughts
As his blood painted the walls
They echoed through the building
Although i do not speak lamb
I can geuss his subtle words
Went a little something like this
"Bitch!!!"

Blaming the heart

In this world
we are truly alone
For only our hearts
Are there as gods
To depict our actions
And to comfort our sorrow
So when you die
And pass through to the next world
Will you come down from heaven
Cut through the clouds
Like lightning
To guide our dark paths
Or will you just shut your doors
And listen to the rain
That beats down on us
And when life is at its worst
We all look up to the sky
And blame a god
That's not there to blame
When in reality
all we are doing
Is blaming the heart
For the pain that it allows us to feel
And wish that we could just find
The great peace that we all seek
For if there is a god
Then he must of turned a blind eye
On us who have so little left
Worth living for
