Hold

I hold myself; with all my might

Begging dark hearts lights shine bright

Change yourself

You are in dismay

Do something more audible in more ways than pray

A million souls won't hurt you

A million souls will

Like keeps marching

This is loves bill

Stop

There comes a time when beauty stops caring

The lights turn red

End is it

Fragility begets eternity

Where? I'm starting not to care

These swamps of sadness sink me to the depths of that bottomless pit; a curse has reminded me of a  past my right hand did not touch.

Anger is my fire.

I will torch these thorns before this rose withers and dies.

Paint

I painted it when it was like ice.

My heart, my tears giving the art a slice.

Why my pie?  Why my eye?

I've missed you as you've fallen

I be mad and sullen

Don't break, bend

Be the man I want

Because

I am

Marks

I like my lips to leave black, not red or pink marks

Like the cold frost left upon the trees

I am not cruel

A darkness just creeps like the evening

I will leave you like lust upon dawn

This is me. For now.

Like the moon or the tides that ebb and flow

True love. Do I?  Will I ever know?

Basix

Remembering the basics of childhood coloring...

Stay in the lines.

Commit no crimes.

Tell no lies.

These a pretty picture do make.

Do the guides make me fake?

No.

My scribble might scramble.

Create some fucking scandals

I'm grateful for the guides

It's just me...besides...

Askew

With your fresh tattoos and your eyes askew

I  wonder; if we knew?

The now is it, be your best

You're not like the rest

Become my bedrest

Caress our wounds, tender mercies lie

Like our tattoos across our lives

Tell your story, sing your song,

Just be sure...I will always belong.

Without

A life without you, this, that

Be that.

I'm enamored with myself.

Learning that a penny is a thought.

Enough is enough.

These seasons make me tough.

What lies wait at the end.

To you my heart I send.

Me, myself and I.

Laugh or cry.

Is okay by me.

Until the day I die.
