Sad music

and sad cries

haunting thoughts

and teary eyes

dark room

and hidden truths

pretty face

and a lonely heart

under the covers

and far from home

losing sight

and going unknown

too far lost

and too far gone

too many substances 

under dead skin

way too young 

and too late to begin

Breaking Point

Behind closed doors there are silent screams 

Violence turns nightmares into dreams

Twisting and turning reality into fairy tales 

One with goblins, cries, ghouls and wails

Swinging arms won't help you fly

Turn and run - or don't and die

Keeping yourself unhappy is suicide 

The kind that works slowly, keeping you alive 

Love yourself or no one else will

What your living isn't love, it's out to kill

Yelling at the top of your closed mouth 

Keeps the darkness in and promises doubt

Tears splash out of eyes like glass that hit the wall and crashed 

That's your heart on the floor - smashed.

Your Sobriety Affects Me

Your sobriety affects me,

And I don't know how to tell you.

Your sobriety affects me,

But I am still very proud.

Your sobriety affects me,

I just want to have fun

Your sobriety affects me,

I'm scared you won't remain strong.

Your sobriety affects me,

I just want to let my guard down.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because every time I fall back in love I get hurt.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because I want to feel the way I used too.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because you say you changed but you didn't.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because I want you to be here but you can't.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because I want her to trust you but she shouldn't.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because your anger just never stops.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because we live in fear.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because she deserves better.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because he can't have another let down.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because I can't always be strong.

Your sobriety affects me,

It breaks my heart

Your sobriety affects me,

Because I suffer from it too.

Your sobriety affects me,

Because you don't just hurt you, you hurt us too.

Your sobriety affects me,

And it doesn't belong to me, it belongs to you.

Play On Mind

Let me play in your mind..
to find all that defines...
The definition of you..
Or is there a few??
I don't want your body..
Its your soul I'm trying to get too
See all that you are made of
Before even a backrub.. 
Seeing if I can make you uncomfortable when I get close up..
An intelligent conversation to seal the deal
Grabbing you slow, reading your thoughts.. 
Making you shake and shiver until that arch drops..
Let me...
play on your mind.. In there I will find.. All that you are made of and gently say good night....
