Hands in my tall black coat,
Winter, I am numb.
I trudge down the side street homebound,
Winter, but the days seem long.
Turn the corner, my house in view,
My heart is anywhere but there.
Winter, and escape is calling;
A child's wish to disappear.
The smell of splashing puddles,
The crunch of a frosted lane,
The sky won't stop its crying,
She's pouring out her pain.
I'll give in to my escape,
Just to find an understanding.
Winter, I'm not alive, yet
I'm watching myself burning.
I'm not at home.
This isn't my room.
And these wet cheeks aren't me crying.
Winter, and it seems to me,
Everything i knew is dying.
But this is

i dreamt you died yesterday.
and it scared me,
because i thought i'd stuffed up.
didn't look out for you, didn't call you enough.
and in the dream i was glad i didn't.

i'm not sure now.

Run. Run with me.
Or we won't (and can't) be together.
So run with me
To somewhere,
anywhere.
Your lips on mine when it's so wrong...
They don't understand though,
They don't know what we've been through.
But it doesn't matter, they don't have to,
Lets just leave and forget.
Don't think we can't.
come.
Live our dream:
Fly away with me.
I'll grab your hand and we'll take off,
To somewhere,
anywhere.
It's been hard I know,
I've tried to foret you, like they told me to.
but I give up, i can't, and don't want to.
So just run with me, Say you will,
Smile, Laugh, Cry, i don't care, but say Yes,
Scream it.
and Run.
i don't care about anyone.
maybe once. but not now.
not like this, when they don't understand and pretend they do.
i have never felt more alone
i cry.
and no one knows.
i pour my heart into a glass,
and every one ignores it.
someone knocks the table and
there it spills,
on the floor,
smashing into a thousand and two pieces.

have you ever had a conversation, where really, it's just two conversations happening in the one room,
spoken at one another.

M. How about: A sunset just for all of us (friends) on a beach that is lost and deserted. A flame that burns too bright that you know will one day take your life. And love...
A. How about that?
M. How about the scars on my knuckels, and the call of the city? And the smell of the burning ground where you thought you stood?
How about that?
A. How about tit for tat, one chance only, and friends who don't stand by you when you're wrong? How about giving in to morals and being accepted?
Or we could not.

in the soulless breeze.
can you feel it?
it runs smooth over my body.
an elixir of cold dreams.

its teeth eat my skin from inside.
the parasites are my friends,
caressing my thoughts,
as they grow and feed.
it fogs the road.
sometimes I can't tell the difference,
between their thoughts and mine.
the line is too thin.
I drew it anyway.
what difference would it make
if I changed it now?
the voice says.
yellow oooze pours from it's lips.
the infection is brewing.
I try not to suffocate
on the fog which is poison.
cuts cuts cuts
on the gums.
the slime saliva
is dried up,
and as the rough tough licks so
Hiding and counting the clocks
Ravens weeping and time calling
Tounges tick tocking so far down your throat you choke
It all ends with 'once upon a time' anyway
Those zebras outside my window are waiting for the grand parade
And they said life was a waiting game
Look at the zebras now
Laying in a blood bath while the king lion sinks his jaws into a succulent feast of his own (rrrrip, goes their skin)
At least the ravens are crying for a cause
At least the clocks are counting
At least I'm still choking
on my tablets

does love hurt that much

voilently shaking.
you\'re unknown.
he holds your mouth,
\"please don\'t cry\".
\"your scaring me, stop it.\"
he smiles, \"don\'t lie...\"
you don\'t try and hide.
don\'t even run.
you know what\'s comming.
he pulls out his gun.
the stench on his breath,
as he pulls you close.
you scream and fight,
\"shut up bitch! you slut. hoe.\"
it\'s annother time he\'s won you.
still you don\'t run?
\"he loves me deep down...
he can\'t help his fun\"
now your watching.
bleeding your love.
he\'s still firing bullets
does love hurt that much?
My green pen is red.
And with every word i write,
I remind myself:
I am blind.
My blue walls are grey.
And everytime i walk out my door,
I remind myself:
I live in a tomb.
My real world is fake.
And with every honest thought i think,
I remind myself:
I am full of lies.
My house is crashing down around me.
Now one question stands:
How did it happen?
Arguments.
Who do i believe?
I am wrong.
I am right.
\"No I am\", said I.
\"No, I am!\", said I.
Who are you?!
Confusion sweeps the streets clean of any trust.
GO AWAY!
I don\'t know you (anymore).
What are you doing in my house?!
i blink ignorence, for i am young.
my ears bleed, i am listening none.
my hands shake, for i am afraid.
but i won\'t take pity, i stand alone with my crusaides.
i taste the words i poison people with, for i am full of lies.
though i am honest because i told you, is that not true also?
listen to me stranger. stop judging me dad.
you can\'t hear me because, your ears bleed too.
In this time of hate and war,
Corruption, lies, we\'ve heard it all,
Does anyone care for simple things?
-a butterfly dying, she tore her wing.
Or have we been desensitized,
Just counting the loss of all those lives?
Does anyone care for that boy who\'s starving?
In annother country you can\'t hear his crying.
O well out of sight, out of mind, and as we say,
\"What could I do anyway?
It\'s not my fault he\'s going to die.\"
Just like that lonely butterfly.
She was the last left of her beautiful kind.
We\'d wiped out the rest thanks to the uranium mines.
And wasn\'t nuclear war fun?
Why else would we have forgotten all the damag
They stood proud; inwardly congratulating themselves for the work they had completed, while I, scared and tormented, cowered on the cold cement ground. I could feel the grains of concrete embedding into my cheek. My body felt so heavy, just lying there pathetic and useless, like road-kill. They towered over me like skyscraper buildings.
I didn't cry, but I bled, and that was enough for them. They walked away as champions. Warm liquid dripped from my nose, and I coughed as my lungs inhaled it.
The constant trauma I face is now just a part of a daily routine. And like eating and sleeping, it has become a necessity for them, though I give them

\"when your hurting so much your numb, it\'s hard to let people in enough to listen to what they have to say. your too busy conctrating on not feeling the pain. too busy holding back the tears and vomit that you try and pretend you don\'t have volently choking from you. because you don\'t want to beleive you were used, you\'d rather pretend you never loved in the first place.
when the person you loved most, would have died for... and nearly did, just to try and understand them (?), has questionable morals, you question everything. you question your morals, your beliefs, who you are, who your other loved ones
Lies are our blankets, we hide when we\'re afraid
In the dark we tell ourselves, 'everything\'s ok'
We build walls around us, one brick at a time
To block out the real, as sight burns our mind
\'It\'s hard to be honest\', I tell my friend
A confused look given, and I understand then
The costume she wears, is not meant to be real
An act for the public, a charade of appeal
Unfortunately though, for my friends' sake
She has forgotten, what\'s under the cape
Her wide pixie smile, and shrill, loud laugh
Are real I know but, so's the vomit/tear/blood bath
Fuck, I can\'t cope, it\'s scary when she cuts
Not understanding, her pain on me

The Dropping of the Bombs
A siren screams somewhere
No one hears
No one cares
Empty streets filled with silence
A child lost, sings of earspilting terror
Sheads deadly tears of hate
A hundred thousand miles away
No one can help her
No one else cares
Two students arguing over right or wrong
What do they know?
They are too young
No one listens
Why care?
\"Why bother caring about it? It\'s not even happening here.\"
\"Did you see \'Home and Away\' last night?\"
\"NO. The news was on instead, and i missed it. It\'s so unfair\"
Your not listening to me, I say
Selfish, Ignorent, Zombie Nation
Why don\'t you care?

What good are legs if they can\'t take you where you want to go?
What use do your eyes have if you can\'t see things clearly?
What good is a voice,
if all it does is speak lies?
What use is a soul,
if all it does is weep?
But don\'t ask yourselves these questions.
Don\'t open your minds.
Don\'t kill yourslef when life\'s a shithole.
That, would be selfish.
Just be a void.

so much to die for

it stays in place
it holds it together
but i keep hitting my thumb
loving you is my life
you are in my coffee, as i stir it
in my shoelaces, as i tie them
in my walls, as i hammer nails into them
my house is filled with the essence of you
i breathe in you every day
and then i stop breathing
but you're still there
tough as nails
when you stare at me with your cold eyes
or touch my skin with yours
i don't shiver
i don't breathe
i can't. do. anything.
you're killing me
and i love it
my heart is racing
my face is sweating
my fists are clenched
tough as nails

I sat on the mouldy seat of a half-packed train on a tuesday night. the wait seems endless when theres nothing to do. i sat staring into space, my station a while away. it had been a long day and everyone else on the train that evening looked the same. weary faces, holding onto bars and sitting seats, swaying gently in sync as the train lumbered along. the train halted at near-empty station, where a crying girl stepped into the train. her loud wails pierced the silence that had been there and everyone looked up and stared, myself being one of them. she was leaning, hunching, against the door, a black eye standing out from the other. her lip w

Winter - Why must things die
From the heavens came a chilled haze,
Like thick fog clouding over the highest peak
Where the snow lies crisp white.
Dewdrops balance on blades of grass,
Like tears that have fell upon quivering lips.
Crimson leaves swirl around the lifeless old oak
And descend on to thick slabs of ice
Before being blown away by the howling wind.
A rare red squirrel digs frantically for its treasure
Of shiny brown nuts polished clean by melting crystals.
I stand and look upon this deserted land,
Where no one murmers or utters a word,
And think to myself,
''Why must things die?''
have you ever had the feeling where
you head is spliting in two
and so is your personaliy?
or have you ever sensed that
something lies just below the surface
and then get smacked in the head by a RC airplane?
have you ever just wanted to
take the pent up rage out on something
and strangled the beef chimichonga in the fridge?
When you are so angry that
you would run you head through a wall (no joke)
and instead turned to metal working a woman out of sheet metal?
Have you ever questioned that
if you had the chance
would you live in all moments for one time?
or all times in one moment?
would you like to realize
that you are com

-> The art that i put most of "who i am" or "how i feel" is nothing like the stuff i love to listen to/look at/read (not unless i purposely try and make it like something i "like").
I don't like the implications attached to that.
I blame this as to why i get confused over whether i like my work or not.
Currently i am music writing. no lyrics, or poetry. one drought after another guys, ey?
