She's Radiant Tonight
Made that glow my life
concentrated only on falling victim to it
on putting my thumbs before
it
consuming
it
at least with sight
Maybe if I shift to the right...
still can't feel
It: Nothing new
There's a cast shadowwaiting for a soul to set in
The sun
let it set
In
Me?
I've become
a bruise to your burn
One of many
An assembly
I still won't orally admit it
Nothing New
Never really believed
this dependency could cause my demise
Enslavement
Label It:
"Beauty Through Bulimia"
Carnage seeps in
the stained surface
Matches the mood
It was raped one November
your aura left It faded
My girlfriends say It looks much better
Match the bruises on my cheek
the veins sliced on my arm?
Label them "spaghetti straps"
Still they say I'm better off
reaching new depths of depression
How refreshingly crude
Just let it weaken
Wait for the whispers to stop
Caution:
Proceed with
Sullen motions
Sudden contortions
Don't need conviction
Those charming capsules do no harm.

Even Though It's Over
We tried & We tried~We dreamt & We cried,
We've been through it all
When it ended We sighed
I've thrown away the flowers
I've put the letters in a drawer,
I've hidden all the gifts
To not think of You anymore
You said You didn't need Me & then
I said that We should be apart,
In the process of elimination
We broke each others heart
I don't know what You've done
Since We went Our seperate ways,
All I know is I am left standing in a daze
You're still on My mind & still in My heart,
Leave if You want to but
We'll never be apart
My comfort's in a bottle
But that I won't let You know,
I can't be held by another
Because I just can't let You go.
