OfferingWords fail me quite often, And grace graces me not, But all my shortcomings Are often soon forgot. Your patience astounds me, I see you play to keep. And that is why I honour you And why my heart won't sleep. Sometimes all you can do Is stare and shake your head At the stupid thing I've done Or the foolish thing I've said, But you stay by my side When I test you the most, Making sure that I don't fall, So to you I make this toast. A love that spans an ocean,Our story simply amazes me.You revived in me a hope That I'd given up on entirely.From there you taught me thingsShowed me that I'm a better manThan I'd taken the cre
Rigamarole"Deepen your breathing," they seem to advise, As I sit back and watch everything else fly by. Eyes failing; breath following, soon I take sleep. I wake in a daze that lasts all day long. I call out to anyone, can anyone hear me? Can anyone save me, and take me away? Clocks tick, metronomes injected with gradual speed. There's no time to laugh at the jokes made. I can hear the other people, the annoyance of the voices Makes me angry, unjustly and extremely so. Though I can't explain why, I want to be near them, And simultaneously want them to go. Everything is too much for me to take. I need comfort; I need a sweet, familiar scent
BrotherI'll catch your punches with the palm of my hand, And push them off, rendered useless. Breaking blades and blocking blows, You cannot touch me in this instance. Your breath is so hot, but your blood is like ice You're a devilish tradesman of lies, Infection is your pleasure, Pressing barrels twixt my eyes.I never could have imagined So much black-hearted disdain;The differences that marked our ends And cloven us in twainI thought you were my brother But I see what you've been after You'll use my name for selfish gain And hang me from the rafter.You can't wait to watch me fall in slow motion, Stopping time to amplify the pai
EggshellsBe careful with the words you speak,My mind utters a constant reminder-This can all be undoneAnd there may be no going back.Why do I always have to be the one to bend?Always take one for the team,Act all hard and just pretendThat I'm okay, that I'm a-ok?My feet still hurtFrom walking on these eggshells all day long,And I can'tGive anymore for fear that I can not go on;Just what did I do wrong?I've had enough fights with you,Pushing me into a corner where I shake.I can not even open my mouth-Out of undeserved mercy I consider your feelings.Why do I always have to take it all in stride?Always look the other way,Then look
FallenLight fire to these paper wings, And I will be a spectacle for you to behold, Hoping only broken dreams are nothing like broken glass. Maybe I can grow back my dignity,But what will I sacrifice to swirl in the wind,Like fallen leaves and angel feathers dancing upon the dirt?You appear to watch in agony,But underneath the mask I see.Don't bother watching me with those colourful words in your eyes;The deception on your lips hurts worse with each one of my cries.The clock tower waves with both hands,Mocking me on my twisted ascension to the Earth,The arrow in my side laughs as it faces my former position.Watch the flames make con
