Like a Baby Needs a Womb

The volcano pours out smoke,
Escape while you can,
The rope we climbed has broke,
The leap of faith has hit the fan.

There is no more solid ground,
What lesson did you teach,
These scars aren't from falling down,
The real answers are out of reach.

The shelter was never there,
Or it dissipated way too soon,
I need your love and care,
Like a baby needs a womb.

I hope it makes you smile,
And I make you proud,
All the baby scars I defile,
The silence is deafening loud.

The voices are taking control,
I can no longer hold my sanity,
The heart you stole,
Is lost in my vanity.

Everything Will Be Alright

I want to hold you so tight,
And tell you not to worry,
Everything will be alright,
There is no need to hurry.

I may seem to rush things,
Can you see the love in my eyes?
The song your smile sings,
Has began to bring on my darkness's demise.

I'll stay by your side,
And I'll show you how I care,
When the world is tearing at your inside,
Reach out your hand and I'll be there.

Because I want to hold you so tight,
And tell you not to worry,
Everything will be alright,
There is no need to hurry.

I may not be the perfect person,
We both want me to be,
You might not always be certain,
That the right guy is me.

As I may be behind the curtain,
Even if I try so hard to be good,
At times I may leave you hurtin',
But please understand this isn't Hollywood.

I just want to hold you so tight,
And tell you not to worry,
Everything will be alright,
There is no need to hurry.

Sometimes

Sometimes we wonder,
What could go wrong,
The lightning to the thunder,
Does not always last as long.

Sometimes we hold on,
The things we love we grab,
Keep them close before they're gone,
Hold on to them like they're all we have.

Because sometimes they are,
They are all we know,
Tell ourselves that salvation isn't far,
Lie for hope to grow.

We sometimes want it to be,
The light to guide our souls,
Direct us through fog we want to see,
Hovering above the burnt out coals.

Sometimes all we want to find,
Is something different or new,
Something that will bring peace of mind,
When we can't find faith in true.

Sometimes we just want to spend a while,
Sometimes all it takes is something true,
Sometimes all the difference is your smile,
Sometimes all I really want is to see you.

Last Scar

On you it is blamed,
For I have become depressed,
I am so ashamed,
I'll never find my rest.

You see my heart,
It seems to be breaking again,
Pulled it apart,
Now gone with the wind.

Thanks for the pain,
You obviously try your best,
It'd hurt less to put a bullet in my brains,
Or a dagger in my chest.

My heart is bursting again,
As I have nothing left,
Not a smirk nor a grin,
Just the poison you put in my breathe.

No more tears,
To wash it away,
No more fears,
To stop the decay.

Just rusting,
The feeling away,
No trusting,
To hold me today.

The pain makes me numb,
I feel it from so far,
Deaf, blind, and dumb,
For you've gave me my last scar.

Neglected

The way the world spins,
It's changing every day,
Moving faster than the winds,
And the words are so hard to say.

The place I stood before,
Is no longer the same,
I show you my heart you show me the door,
The most I ever get is my name.

Now we just turn our backs,
From everything we thought we knew,
Turn the train from the tracks,
My heart fell like a house of cards for you.

The time we spent together,
Never thought they'd be forgotten,
The arms of love would never,
Let their fruit turn rotten.

But now we just run away,
From all the happiness we had known,
Your heart has forsaken every day,
Every seed that had be sown.

This bond we leave neglected,
With every last letter,
This was not what I expected,
Avoiding making our lives better.

Power of Rhyme

Everyone has a calling,
An ardor in which they squander their time;
For me it is verse that catches my falling.
Such is the power of rhyme.

Words carry us away
To the reveries of tomorrow.
They guide us through the days,
Push us past the arms of sorrow.

They can express the joy,
Or the melancholy we embrace.
It is so simple to make words our toy,
Using them to traverse a bridge to a far off place.

The world is such a desolate place,
At least from time to time;
When too petrified to take it on face to face,
I turn to my rhyme.

The words can sooth,
Cleanse the psyche and heart.
When I have something to prove,
The cadence is always the start.

Once upon a time,
I encountered defeat.
I turned to my rhyme,
In the face of deceit.

I found myself missing,
Split from feeling emotion―
My heart went fishing,
A wobbly ship adrift on the ocean.

I tried to unearth something consummate,
But it is hard to grapple perfection.
It was too little too late,
And I lost to rejection.

The walls came tumbling down,
The world just took a halt;
Every smile evolved into a frown.
I thought it was my fault.

In the nadir of my abyss,
I turned to my rhyme.
I was stranded in an apocalypse,
Running out of time.

I etched my heart into paper,
And my feelings swam to the shallows.
My depression slowly began to taper,
My heart beat was no longer fallow.

The labyrinth of life
Is often too hard for a human to comprehend.
When we are buried so heavily in malice and strife,
We can never find ways to ascend.

There is a secret to solving this mystery,
Veiled within the pen,
An escape from impending history.
It is as simple as remember when.

The taste of ink
Freshly laid out in lines
Can really make someone think,
Help purify our minds.

When we slam the brakes,
But the wheels refuse to stop,
When we get the shakes
We can just feel our hearts drop.

This is when we feel alone,
We become a vacuum inside.
We feel like the whole time we should of known,
Everything was nothing more than a lie.

Where can one turn,
When everywhere we look all we find is hate?
When the loneliness just burns and burns,
We struggle to find a way to relate.

Within the rhyme,
We can find our own purity.
Time after time,
We know our secrets are locked tight in our own sense of security.

We sometimes have trouble telling a friend,
For sometimes secrets become a grudge,
But with paper we need not play pretend.
It will never judge.

Hindrances may try to derail our train,
When we discuss how we feel,
But in our rhyme we articulate our brain,
Liberate all of our zeal.

There is always a reason,
Since there is always something to say.
It does not matter the time of season,
Since rhyme is universal in an immense way.

We can use it to combat our doubt,
Or to express our disarray.
It does not matter what it is about,
But rather what happened that day.

Like the water that can soak,
Or the people that we blame,
Your feelings can be free like smoke,
Floating over flame.

We can write it all away,
The tales of our lows and prime.
There is no reason to pray
When we can trust in the power of rhyme.

Fight for Love

This choice is the biggest I'll ever make,
Who am I to ever think I can sever,
I'll fight for love's sake,
Friendship should be forever.

In essence life is scary,
As the battle is raging,
When life hangs in the hands of maybe,
You can't let bumps be phasing.

This decision is so critical,
The weight is so heavy in my view,
You make life so beautiful,
And that's why I choose you.

Oh, this fight is necessary,
I just have to search enough,
For fights are only temporary,
So I choose love.

I need to come with pride,
Who am I to think it's done,
The struggle needs to be taken in stride,
Before I ever run.

Being afraid may leave me blind,
That the war has just begun,
I couldn't live if you were left behind,
I must fight for the war to be won.

This decision is so critical,
The weight is so heavy in my view,
You make life so beautiful,
And that's why I choose you.

Oh, this fight is necessary,
I just have to search enough,
For fights are only temporary,
So I choose love.

Deep down I need to come alive,
While the love still keeps me sober,
I have to face the fight inside,
Before this war is over.

The trenches filled with tears,
Baptizing the darkness in my heart,
The happiness buried deep in my fears,
Is so close to making its start.

This decision is so critical,
The weight is so heavy in my view,
You make life so beautiful,
And that's why I choose you.

Oh, this fight is necessary,
I just have to search enough,
For fights are only temporary,
So I choose love.

You make life so beautiful,
So why did I ever choose the knife?
This final decision is so critical,
So my love chooses life.

Last Embrace

I think you know,
What I am getting at,
All this time I tried to grow,
Now all the time you're regretting that.

I wish I could stand,
On my feet and never budge,
I try to hold your hand,
But you'd rather hold your grudge.

You keep the bad breath,
Why can't we just forget?
What do I have left,
When I lost my hope at drift?

The scars will always remind me,
The regrets of my every day,
My world is hanging on threads I can't see,
When you peeled out and drove away.

Drowning in the ocean of my dreams,
The one filled with tears I created,
Where the stitches are stripped at the seams,
So far from emancipated.

Every time I end up here,
Holding each other face to face,
Could this be the final my dear,
Could this be our last embrace?

Hope Gives Up

Today life almost ended,
As the ledge crumbled below me,
The love I had befriended,
Took me to my knees.

Ignored my cries,
Tried to leave me for dead,
I could feel my heart die,
Upon my bed.

I shook and I was in shock,
Tears plagued my eyes so I couldn't see,
She tried to hide my heart behind a lock,
Hope was giving up on me.

Afraid to inflict hurt on me anymore,
The wrist just recreates the stain,
Afraid of what the future had in store,
Knowing there was much pain that will remain.

Marionette

The vultures are circling above,
As the feeling goes numb,
The feeling of love,
Is so hard to recover from.

I can run away,
But only trouble that brings,
A marionette dressed in blacks and greys,
Bound to his heart by strings.

They can jerk me around,
But I'm not giving in,
Knock me to the ground,
Make me cry again.

The tears are only temporary,
But the strings still remain,
The bowls of sorrow are so dark and scary,
Yet the feeling remains the same.

I can whine and pout,
Or just take a stand,
I cannot breakout,
From the strings in your hand.

I can run away,
But only trouble that brings,
A marionette dressed in blacks and greys,
Bound to his heart by strings.

I'll remain by your side,
Until the world takes it all away,
Whether you are my enemy or my bride,
There is no place I'd rather stay.

Find My Sleep

You've got a way,
With calming the storm,
Each and every day,
You make the most arctic warm.

It's the same old story,
It is far from making sense,
Who will find sleep for me,
When no one will come to my defense.

You're a broken record,
A cliche of manipulation,
So innocent with maleficent checkered,
A demon of my creation.

When what we loved we burned,
The fire raged so blue,
But from the ashes we yearn,
That we find your sleep too.

I'm supposed to let go,
Doing so would be obsolete,
'Cause if I do I know,
I'll forget that my heart beats.

Down on Your Knees

You try so hard to hide,
Act like it was all just a dream,
All this pain you hide inside,
You could only scream.

They are waiting in the dark,
The shadows of yesterday,
Stalking you like a shark,
Hunting you like prey.

The silence feeds their souls,
The skeletons never died,
If you let them achieve their goals,
You'd wish they were no longer alive.

So seal your closet,
As they can no longer hold back,
The slow drip of the faucet,
Soon will make you crack.

Razor sharp teeth dance around,
Slowly tearing apart,
While you look for solid ground,
They eat away at your heart.

So where will you run,
When they finally win,
No more games or fun,
Just down on your knees again.

Fairy Tale

The godmother has gone a miss,
No unicorns here,
You cannot raise the dead with a kiss,
But there is you my dear.

No dragon to spoil our day,
Or mirrors who can tell,
No witches in the way,
Yet I am under your spell.

The animals don't talk,
And the hair isn't quite that long,
The plants can not walk,
And no one is Hercules strong.

There aren't always happy ends,
And there is no genie to grant your wish,
Here there is such a thing as "just friends",
Most people never feel love at first kiss.

You can't always tell when someone lies,
But wolves can not blow,
Someone is not always there to hear your cries,
But this much I know

I may not be a prince charming,
I am no knight in shining armor,
My ways may be a bit alarming,
But my heart is all the warmer.

There may be no bean stalk that grew,
To me you are the holy grail,
Every time I think of you,
I feel like I am in a fairy tale. <3

Burned Alive

It has been so long,
Since you fell from the sky,
What once seemed so strong,
Has gone missing from your eye.

You used to at least like me,
But I shouldn't expect anyone should,
I try too hard for you and I,
And I would give you the world if I could.

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Even through the darkest hour,
I remain faithful to the one I long,
I do what I can with little power,
But this is what you wanted all along.

For me to stand without you being mine,
Maybe you will see,
That I'm not wasting time,
But time is wasting me.

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Burns are only external,
Pain brings in the dark,
The flame is eternal,
Inside my heart.

I can't contain the fire,
I don't know what to do,
What if my burning desire,
Decides to burn you?

For now I must just live with the truth,
And hope to in the future strive,
Let you live your youth,
While I'm but a lover burned alive.

Maybe we're wasting time,
Or time is wasting we,
Maybe this feeling is my crime,
Perhaps time is what is really burning me.

Fell So Far Part III

I am one trip away from a melt down,
One step left of solid ground,
I've became a burdensome disease,
Brought to my knees, I'm begging please....

Take me into your grasp,
I want to forever clasp,
To you so I never have to let go,
It will never be easy I know.

All my life I've been on the ledge,
Every failure pushes me closer to the edge,
Being in love gives me hope to make it,
But every time I hand you my heart you break it.

I'm hanging on the cliff, too weak to crawl,
Waiting for you to catch my fall,
I only can take so much before I melt away,
With every break a piece of my heart meets decay.

And I fight for so long, trying to beat it,
My insecurities are always there to keep me beated;
I hide from my shadow to escape my own treason,
For every heartbreak I know you have a justifiable reason.

All my life I've been on the ledge,
Every failure pushes me closer to the edge,
Being in love gives me hope to make it,
But every time I hand you my heart you break it.

I feel the pain, it is so terrible,
I hand it to you, but please be careful,
This may be the last chance at life,
I don't see more pity on the knife.

Check Me Off Your List

It is so hard to move on,
So difficult to relax,
If I turn my head you could be gone,
I still feel like that's the fact.

You'd be in the arms of a guy,
What happened to the care I used to see,
How hard do I have to try,
For faithfulness to me?

Can I ever feel secure,
When my love to you is a waste,
Your words feel so impure,
And in my heart I feel replaced.

It is too late now,
The pain is afflicted,
Searching for an answer not knowing how,
To live without you when I'm addicted.

The audience has stopped clapping,
They know I can not just get by,
They can't tell if I'm laughing,
'Cause every other word there is a tear in my eye.

I will stay with you forever,
But is that long enough,
Can I pull myself together,
To make it through the rough.

I am so careless of my heart,
I'm sure that was the reason I was stung,
I tear myself apart,
With your clumsy tongue.

If I give all that I can,
If I can actually persist,
Will you choose to hold my hand,
Or cross me off the list?

Fell So Far Part II

I am so lost,
Trying to be it,
What will it cost,
To truly leave it.

The picture is in levitation,
It kills me to think it,
Can I get a revelation,
To help me be needed.

I am still falling so hard,
The image has my defeated,
All the feelings so barred,
Have me depleted.

The truth is disguised,
In every smile I've been faking,
You wouldn't be surprised,
That your tongue made me forsaken.

I give all I have,
To keep in my crys,
My heart in half,
When I know I need say goodbye.

I am still falling so hard,
The image has my defeated,
All the feelings so barred,
Have me depleted.

And as the light disintegrates,
I'm left to face my demons,
My heart's hope dissipates,
So far from freedom.

Fell So Far Part I

I've become a dead tree,
In the middle so hollow,
What happened to me,
The hope in my heart is so shallow.

When it was you I had,
I took you for granted,
It feels like its ending so bad,
Dropping the one blessing life handed.

I tried so hard,
To be what you needed,
I fell so far,
From where I was feeted.

I cried so hard,
But you were conceited,
I dropped my guard,
My heart so deceited.

The failures come in,
I'm dropping to my knees,
I dipped into sin,
Sailed the crimson seas.

I relived the memory,
Trying to make you believe it,
That I am not the enemy,
But I was still defeated.

I tried so hard,
To be what you needed,
I fell so far,
From where I was feeted.

I cried so hard,
But you were conceited,
I dropped my guard,
My heart so deceited.
