You escort my heart out
From under me
Massaging and loving
Persuading and wooing
Charming and convincing
Subtlety turning
Toward cowardly convictions
Flatlining the beat you set in motion
Placing it on the pavement
While you disappear
Just for a minute…
Dear…
Seasons pass then reappear
My heart long succumbed
To your dead cold air
Another burnt strand of hair
Another scratch against the mirror
Lest you uncover your ear
Detecting my heart alive and vulnerable
These are the wounds
That etch me into a souldier
anger
Spyder
He
He is my distraction from you
He paints me with all the colors you withdrew
All the beauty you claimed to adore
With a mouth you compliment
Suck my lips
With actions you torment
Stab me as I turn my hips
Away from you now
Your lies vomited out
What a mess
Hope you enjoyed our last kiss
When I’m anxious and lonely
He is anywhere I ask him to be
I don’t need him to fetch me the stars
Or pretend to care about my scars
He is my clouds he is my rain
He is my distraction from the pain
I don’t accept your gift of misery
I’ll swing from he to he
Like monkeys in a jungle
I’m wild and I am free
No, he will not tame me
I just need him to take me
At least one of us is bound by truth
He is my distraction from you
Ascent
Ascending
into freedom
I know you want me
Coming in your kingdom
Stretch that lace
Round my neck
Crack that whip
My nails down your…
Hypnotic pulses
Regenerating
A lovers connection
But I am not bound
To my knees
To adorn you
My hands are not tied
skin to skin
To absorb your sin
My mouth is not gagged
Screaming for permission to speak
My words run wild
And I follow their lead
Right out the door
Free
Stages
Mixed words Mixed looks
Mixed scenarios
I’m in your hooks
Lost pieces Lost souls
Lost lovers
I’m in your pull
Fallen clothes Fallen stars
Fallen parts
I’m in your heart
Locked lips Locked hands
Locked plans
I’m in your command
Promises made Promises teased
Promises empty
I’m in your trapeze
Lies whispered Lies screaming
Lies naked and revealing
You denied You doubted
You put me in the rearview
I’m treasured I’m honored
By an unknown future
So fuck the lies
I’m starting over
Betrayed
Betrayed
In the worst kind of way
It hurts It stings
It is raw and it bleeds
I would if I could
Cauterize
but the memories claw the wounds open again
like trees hitting the window
In a storm beyond my control
Lies spring eternal
The heartbreak you administered
Is lethal
Oh Doctor Doctor
Tell me what’s the cure…
For this deadly betrayal?
I became the centerfold
For his lies and scandal
Oh Doctor Doctor
Come a little closer
Transform me into more than one can handle
Take these feelings burning my soul
The side effects of betrayals disaster
Burn them into oblivion
And return them to their master
Before my morning mug
Before my morning mug
The annoyance of irony
