Revenge
You broke the bond and you can't mend it,
You were the snake then I had befriended.
This is not what I had originally intended,
I'll be the nightmare you haven't dreamt yet.
...
Shoulder
I had been a shoulder to so many
I look back and don't really regret any
I had been the mirror to their truth
I tried to be the adult in my youth.
As I think back to all those that I helped
The way that silent "thank you" had felt.
Maybe everyone needed this therapist
It was self less, that I thought etiquette.
I could never be on the opposite side
Asking for help, knowing how i had lied
To help others when they needed it most
I guess an artist can never be engrossed.
A mirror can never see its own reflection
A dictionary can never have a correction
Don't therapists need to relate too?
Don't gods need someone to pray to?
...Smile
I don't have many friends
My life has too many bends
I'm not invited to the birthdays
I'm not part of the latest craze.
I could never be as open as you
You'll never see my point of view
I eat by myself in the corner
I'm the strange foreigner.
I'm the last one to be picked
The unacceptable imperfect.
I know you all think I'm an outsider
Among the birds, I'm the spider.
I'm tossed around like a piece of junk
You all sail by unflinched, as my boat sunk
You kick me when I'm down
Ignore my nervous breakdown.
But at the end of the day
I have just one thing to say
I look in the mirror and smile
Have you done that in a while?
...Synonyms
I still forget to forget
My safe cigarette
My noon moon
The open cocoon.
Our Incognito names
Those cold wet flames
Those Sunny nights
The peaceful fights
Those louder than life silences
Your omnipresent absences
My open cardiac suture
Remind me of the future
And our rising descent
That we never dreamt.
...The New Girl
Your name written in red, Blood on my sweater,
Your blade in my spine, Hope she treats you better.
Why couldn't you have me back?
Was our love the rose or the lilac?
Was I just a cheaper prozac?
Your very own nymphomaniac?
I'm bleeding Blue, cuz it's all inside
The cage in my heart, unidentified,
My plan for the escape, suicide,
How is my own death, undignified?
Why does she now mean more?
Why is your love, a carnivore?
Is this new or has it happened before,
Guess I just don't matter, anymore.
...Tomorrow
Life is stupid and life is beautiful
Death, well it's still not excludable
Yesterday might have been great
That might have been just the bait
For today, the tables can flip over
But is that certain? Certainly no sir!
Today might have been lower that most
But tomorrow you might become a ghost
No one knows what tomorrow holds
You just have to wait for what unfolds
Tomorrow can't be bought at high prices
It's just part of the ongoing existential crisis.
So wipe off your teary grins and start the show
Cue the music, cue the dancers and cue tomorrow.
...Just Another
Seems just yesterday when it began
Guess you discovered a better plan
Guess we've crossed our lifespan
Guess you found your perfect man.
I dream that you feel this pain too
I wish we could talk how we used to
Every day, I ask the walls for a clue
Of how it feels like to be loved by you.
After wiping your tears, without a tissue,
I wish I got more than just a 'thank you'.
I could talk to you all night, friendly
Be the most understanding and funny
But to you, I was just another nobody
Someone will come and replace me
Maybe that's just how it's meant to be
Maybe me and you, were never "we".
I wish I knew what wrong i did
Guess I was just another shy kid
With heart turned Blue and violet
Just another eyelash on your eyel...
Wants 2
I want a trip to somewhere around the equator
Maybe away from technology, but closer to nature.
Gazing at the night sky from my hammock
Living off of sea water, coconuts and manioc.
Crossing oceans, without a worry on my mind
Away from the addicting creations of mankind.
Trying out fruits and berries, sweet and bitter
Somewhere there are tweets outside of Twitter.
I wanna go where 'natural' is more than a hashtag
Travel so much that I get immune to any jet lag.
Experience cultures out of a documentary
Discover secrets hidden away for a century.
Eat foods that don't have a no carbs version
Somewhere, taking a walk isn't an exertion.
Reach an Amazon where the other one can't reach
A place where global warming is more than a speech.
I want to see the sunset across the ocean
Wants 1
I don't want your fancy parties and banquets
I just need my bed, a book and my blankets,
A hot cup of coffee, snuggling as the rain pours
Laying back and forgetting all of my chores.
I want a home filled with books and sweaters
I want to post everyday, some paper letters
Hear stories that last more than a day
About dragons and children far far away
The songs on the radio, but out of my car
The warmth of smoke, but not of a cigar.
Cooking warm delicious food, just for myself
Somewhere I don't have to clean the shelf.
...When
When you can't feel my heartbeat,
When I join the world under our feet,
When I'm under dirt and stones,
When plants grow in my bones.
When I'll have faced mayhem,
When I'm long forgotten by them,
When all my foes have enjoyed,
When I'm fallen deep in the void,
When all yours tears have dried,
When your mind is unoccupied,
When I no longer need the money,
When you've probably forgotten me,
When my mention is just deja vu,
That's when I'...
