Growth

I wanna cry when you touch me

Because I want you so badly

And if you asked for my heart
I'd give it to you gladly.

But its a luckless dream
Tied to a hopeless romance.



We bloomed together in this
Garden of lust we shared at night

Then felt like strangers in the
Uncloaked rawness of daylight.

Overtime vines of malice and
Weeds of waste become overgrown at a glance.



Were my affections subdued
While inside heavy hearted?

Were your displeasures shaken
To keep yours guarded ?

These far fetched feelings may have a foggy future
But tell me theres a chance.

Alone

A Hesitating Pulse

Quickened Breath Quiet

A Deliberate Step

With Meaningful Regret

Done

Take it all away

Cause I meant what I said

Every memory

We've shared in this bed

You know I meant it

When I said I was done

Crushed it to nothing

Like I was no one

You're cruel and you're blind

But you had no clue

That hearts could cry

And mine has for you

This knot in my chest

Was here all along

Tried to ignore it

you just don't belong

Confusion

Feeling Destructlively Discreet

Creates Chaotic Clutter

Imprisoned Empathy

Repeats Mindful Mutter

Secrets

Secrets of lust become our friends

And guard our minds from knowledge

Conterfeit emotions pretend

To cover and acknowledge

Condemnations

Lay down your weapons

And I'll lay down my words

Hand me forgiveness

And I'll hand you whats yours

Redemption is somethin' earned

Not handed over
Its a challenge to all

The progression is slower

A diamond encrusted throat

Which lacks the appeal

Of a truthful, honest mouth

You try to conceal

Your hateful stares

And hurtful eyes

Reveal no care

For speaking lies

Strive to prepare

For a war within.

The trials declared

Before it begins.

Stream...

Like an itch I cant stop scratching
You play over and over in my head
Where did you go last night
The moon always knows
Its watching you with eyes I cant see
But it never fades
How can you change so fast
Your mind doesn't have the power
My mom called yesterday
Asked about my life
What should I say to someone
Who really doesn't understand
Pretend, misinterpret, gloss over
Its always the same for us
You were the topic that as usual
She continued to miss
Stranger things have happened though...
