The Fallacy Of It All?
Untold lives of a single person,
"Real or not real?" I asked,
He whispered "Real." snuggling close,
She whispered "Not real."
Ripping it to shreds,
What's sad but true?
I needed your attention.
I craved it, wanting it all
Every night I waited
I was alive when you were near.
When I saw you,
When I heard you,
When I touched you,
You were oh so real,
Now? Nothing.
Not even a shred
Of those pink skinny jeans
Left.
Here in the echoes,
Madness grows, grows.
Grows larger, consuming.
Consuming heart and soul.
I can feel it, driving a nail,
Straight to my heart.
Each defense breached,
Each door left open.
Embracing or fighting.
Embracing insanity and living.
Fighting insanity and cowering.
Which? Cower or live?
I long to choose to fight.
To have a defense instead,
Instead of living in a mania
Freedom in a straight jacket
Granted I look good in it.
Of course I do, I must love myself.
So their mantras state.
Brainwashing mantras.
Hair long and ragged,
Dressed in a jacket.
No shoes or make up.
Just myself unnaturally.

Hourglass of the Damned
As time runs through the sand
Dragging me closer to the end
I fear that my work is not done
Have I changed the world?
Have I made it better?
Cheating time gets me nowhere
It just makes my stone larger
Pushing on my back till I collapse
And then the last of the sand
Finally falls through the hourglass
Just a lonely boy drifting in the oceans as I try to make sense of this current,
Pulling me in all directions, and pushing me up and down like flotsam.
Up and down, up and down pushing and drowning me in this current.
Hurricanes and storms blow over, and yet the ocean still drags me down.
Confined within myself, and cursed to float with the current
Pushed and dragged into following every other fish
Not myself, or my heart. Becoming one with crowd
Am I surviving the high seas and storms?
Am I actually living? Or am I just suspending myself in water
Letting myself being dragged along
I beg to be let free, but does Poseidon hear me?
He just dr
Te amplecatar et vulnera tua lingam
I will embrace you and lick your wounds.
You are my love. Nothing shall pain you.
Your touch brings me to life from the sea of dead.
If only I could have you, my heavenly love
Utinam te haberem, mi amor caelestis
Mirror, tell me something.
What do you see in me?
What do your eyes reflect?
What am I? I don't understand
Mirror, pray tell me Mirror,
Do you even like what you see?
I don't, Mirror, reflect me, Mirror.
Reflect me, not what I appear
Please, Mirror show me. The real me.
Tell me something, I need to know.
Tell me who am I? Mirror, tell me please.
Reflect and show me, the true me.
In this lush golden cage
Where we roam in circles
Spiraling in a gilded dance
Each move perfection
Is it odd to want more?
More than just a gilded dance
A passion is what I desire
A gorgeous passion of fire
Yet not even that is not enough
Passion does not mean love
Love is natural, real.
Not a gilded bauble
We crave it, love.
We want to be loved
To love someone special
To be held close and,
Hear those sweet things
Sweet lullabies and dreams
Even now as I drift off,
I crave it.
Does chance exist? Does it fill you up?
Does its guiding light bring you to safety?
Wrapping you in a warm embrace
Softly stroking your arms as you drift to sleep
You whisper you love him, the odds of winning
Winning his love, his short found love.
Warming your soul like a candle,
Feel your heart beating, feel his beating too
A staccato telling of love and highs of emotions
Pulling higher than even the angels dare go
Swelling into a crescendo, two beings made whole.
High up in the air
I don't touch the ground
Since no matter what
No matter what..
I'll never be grounded in their reality.
Must be something wrong with me
They thought, they whispered
Only you keep me from going to high
Not that they'd ever know
They'll never know anything
I keep it contained
What's wrong with me?
The way I feel
The way I dream
The way I am
What's wrong with me?
Is it a disease?
What is it?
What's wrong with me?
I can't figure it out
My world is getting turned upside down...
