Heartbreaker
You light up the world.
People adore your glittering eyes
The way your hips sway
Side to side when you walk.
Heartbreaker
My vision darkens.
My stomach churns.
My heart races.
You saw my pain but you used me anyway.

They ask are you good?
I answer with my mask
and feel like a empty cask
I´m fine
so everyone around me can shine
can you see the skyline
I´am supine
being on my back
it´s all black
Oh it's you.
Hello again! I know, it's been so long, it's so nice to see you!
What do you think? I've barely been holding myself together.
Are you kidding, I've never been better! How's the wife?
call me out of the shadows i call home
call me out of this place that stripped me to the bone
call me out of the burning fire of life
call me away from the blade of a knife
my stone, my stone
oh my cold stone heart
why are you callaous and set apart?
my black, my black
oh my shriveled black heart?
why when I need you, do you depart?
my hard, my hard
It stings deep inside
Though it reveals itself
As righteous anger
Or perhaps
A blind fury
Is more accurate
Your blood roars
With the urge
To inflict pain
Only later
Nothing stands out
Numbness takes over
Robotic movements
Apathy bleeds in
And emotions
Fade away
Muted and dim
Somewhere
In the background
While a being
With no face
"The wolves inside my head
Gnawing at my brain
Try to take my essence
And flush it down the drain
Remember who I am
If it's those wolves I tame
If I can't defeat them
I might just be too late
The sun goes back down
Days turn a bit longer
Time passes much slower
Grey tinge fills the air
I'm stuck and defeated
Downthrodded and beaten
Torn and split on emotions
You make me insecure.
You lied.
You looked me right in the eye and lied to me to save yourself.
Because god forbid you ever be held responsible for your actions.
My home rests on two shores,
North and South
A house with two front doors,
My love has two faces.
I am two people confronting our rift
Letting the waters take us adrift,
There was a chill in the wind that night,
one like no other.
The darkness made it hard for sight,
The sun sheds a tear for the moon,
and the moon for the sun.
For only a glimpse of the others is caught
before each must run.
Is it not enough for you that you've ripped my heart out already.
You fucking broke it and now you have to step on every single one of the pieces too?
Was it never enough for you to just know that I loved you?
She knows where they are hidden
But, says "You got to be kidden!"
The color of red
Comes pouring out as she is laying in bed.
She gets relieve from the pain
But, tends to go insane.
The rain. The rain.
My bare feet on the cold wet ground.
I stare across the vast expanse which is my city.
The trees. The houses. The lights. The cars.
As the rain falls, my world seems to go in slow motion.
Dejection,
No affection.
Depression,
No expression.
Happiness?
No. Not anymore.
No more blessedness.
No more galore.
Why do I still love.
Why do I still trust.
There’s always talk of moving
Always the possibility of leaving
Packing a bag and never looking back
There’s always that glimmer of hope that sparks inside of me,
But a skeptical shadow over powers everything,
You’re crying and you’re heaving
As pain rips you apart
And I can’t help thinking
Of how you do have a strong heart
Tears are gushing from your eyes
Filled with so much pain and anguish
