I've Been Thinking...
I'm thinking about breaking points;
about crossing lines and losing ground.
About falling trees, falling people,
and how often times no one hears a sound.
I'm thinking about losing hope;
about giving up and worse, giving in.
About quiting the game callled life
because there's no way you can win.
I'm thinking about lost innocence;
about little girls and boys and monsters.
About people who can say 'get over it'
because they've never lived such horrors.
I'm thinking about silent screams;
about pleading eyes but closed lips.
About people who would rather die
than let the truth of the matter slip.
I'm thinking about the people I've lost;

I Hate You Tonight
breakneak speed,
fast as light,
we make love
and then we fight.
short breath,
burning thighs,
you say hello
and I say goodbye.
smokey eyes,
leather boots,
if I hold the gun
will you shoot?
here we go,
'round again,
I won't quit
'til I'm dead.
he swore too often, and prayed
too much. he wore mismatched socks,
said something about how he liked
the chaos of it all.
i asked him if that was why he liked me.
i never had the guts to wait
around for an answer.
but you see his spinal cord
behaved like a xylophone,
and when I drummed his bones
broke with a thundering crack
and split the skin across his back.
i loved him more than the cool
burn of a fresh razor, or the
first drag of a smoke.
but you see his heart behaved
like a paper crane,
and when I tried to string him up
across my bedroom ceiling
he fell apart and drifted like ashes
into my bleeding hands.
he spoke to me in latin and french,
in russian and spanish and verbs.
he spoke in delicate purples and blues,
through guitar strings strung too tight,
through clouded glass, murky lakes
and sultry wine. he said:
{youarebeautifulyouarebeautifulyouarebeautiful}
he loved me with clenched fists and jealousy,
with frozen peas and flowers and neat
handwritten pleaseforgiveme's.
he loved in winter, spring, summer but never fall.
he loved in obscure poetry and lies
and in broken bones and popped blood veins.
{youarebreathtakingiamtakingyouarebreaking}
now the bathroom mirror speaks to me
in jutting ribs and sharp hip bones,

'X' marks the spot
he is a pirate, in the theme of it,
not the action kind but in spirit.
he sails the seas of sorrowed souls,
he plays his part in these scattered roles.
he carved an 'X' across my heart,
he took his knife and marked the spot.
a pointed finger to the thin red lines:
'there is where her treasure lies,
the secret to her ultimate demise,
there is where i'll make her mine.'
and i bit my lip as he tore into my tide,
as he anchored his ship deep inside.

Literature
i'll be wishing on your stars
i'd like to paint you the colour of the moon
and hang you up among the dark night skies.
i'd watch you from my room when i should
be sleeping and worship you with my eyes.
i'd cut out little pieces of your eyes to string
across the heavens and all would question
the bright emerald stars that fill that space,
but you'd still effortlessly outshine the sun.
i'd feather your touch into the cool breeze,
so the world might feel the burning sensation.
and i'd spend all night outside in that air
just to ease the sharp bite of our separation.
i'd pluck your heart out from its cold casing
and lock it up inside my chest, next to mine.

'i' and 'love' and 'you' by LoveLyricsAndLies, literature
Literature
'i' and 'love' and 'you'
it started off with a morning after feeling;
all tangled limbs and passions reeling.
what was once a useful waste of time,
soon became 'i am yours; you are mine'.
two hearts that shouldn't have collided
the way we did.
it was coffee stains across the counter;
days passing by in a quick intoxicated blur.
what was once a risky stroke of luck,
soon became 'oh i am so love struck'.
but nothing can last forever, it all fades
the way we did.
soon it became too troublesome to stay.
haunted by the
three words that became too hard to say:
"i"
and
"love"
and
"you"
