the sky was earl grey
and the clouds were steamy sips
and i wanted to drink it all.
02.
the leaves were star yellow
and the bark smelled of coffee
and the bakery was selling a moon made out of cheese.
03.
there was an old man on a bench
he threw his wedding band in the sewer
i cried for him.
04.
the birds were dreams
and the mountains, my obstacles,
tally ho young adventurer tally ho
05.
i ran into an artist today
he drew signs on corner post buildings
but he also gave his lunch to a homeless boy.

my mom holds black holes beneath her eyes
and for the first time in days, she spoke to me,
"i'm worried about you.
Keep me on my feet
For my strength is not enough
Hold me while I sleep
Cause I'm afraid, that I won't wake up
Kiss me on my cheek
For I need to know what it feels like
Help me build my dreams
Cause those I made alone, they died and fell apart
Make me lose my mind
I want to be lost in you
Help me go insane
For if I'm crazy with you, nothing else will matter
Light a candle for me
I'm afraid to touch the flame
Open up my doors
For in the end, it was I who locked them
Alone
Tell me a story about your life
And I'll tell you mine
Give me a reason not to lie
So I'll tell you the truth, next time
Whisper a secret in my ear
And I'll tell you a tale
Forgive me but this is my fear
I despise talking in detail
Give me a reason not to scream
And I'll tell you why it hurts
It's like acid in my bloodstream
This terror of being attached
Sorry if I ask for too much
For I am still learning
How to Trust
Hey now, Princess
Why do you always worry?
Rest on my shoulder
You don't need to hurry
Hey now, Baby
No need to cry
You want the truth
Not a lie
Hey now, Sweetheart
I know how it hurts
They want you to change
But you don't gotta convert
Hey now, Honey
Your bruises are showing
But when the going gets tough
The tough get going
Hey now, Princess
I'm cut up too
I've been here all this time
Fighting just for you.
Dress shoes click on the streets laid slick with cinnamon and wasted air
It's sugar on your lipstick, darling; a dangerous affair.
You chose coffee
Like you chose romance
Just for the idea of romance; cream and smoked wood swirling around in your cup,
And steam curling up into the atmosphere like the locks in his hair.
Crushed, bitter,
Tantalisingly dark and hauntingly aromatic
You craved it
You mocked the raven that eyed you from its branch out in the blustering courtyard and
You didn't even like the taste.
The silver curve of the teaspoon showed your warped reflection like a deathly omen
It showed the line of your neck and each glitterin
She Waits For Me:
Her touch is mercilessly chilling
When she appears inside my room
I can hear her gibbering softly
As she mutters words of doom
The lady pushing the brink of delusion
I am cornered to the edge of my waning sanity!
I shatter mirrors and reflective surfaces
To preserve some sense of humanity
Yet they say my delirium is a mere illusion...
Ha! They judge the things that they cannot see
She comes to me in depths of the night
Because she knows I cannot flee
Do you know the feeling of waking up
With her grinning face before me?
Rotting teeth and swollen flesh;
It would be better not to see!
But tonight I shall end t
Please tell me you'll fight this fight for me?
I need you to help me
I've realized now
I won't do this on my own
If you fall I'll fall with you
I'm that crazy bridge-jumping girl people should have warned you about
Now it's too late though
I reach out a hand
Asking you for this last favor
Will you help me up?
Will you keep on breathing with me?

The Raging Fight
The Raging Fight
Two different people,
Two different lives
But they are never seperate,
They are locked in the same mind
They feel each other, see each other,
All the time
And they both...
Walk the same line
One is old,
And the other is wise,
One accepts,
And the other denies!
I know,
That I am,
Always changing
But inside,
Of me,
A battle is raging!
Everything I thought I knew,
Was wrong
I fought so hard,
Just to belong
And I was what I needed to be,
All along
That's what every day,
I am facing,
Who I am and who I used to be,
The fight is raging...
One took more than he gave,
And reveled in destruction,
The o
