Her
Not the scratches on her knees
Not the bruises on her thighs
It was the way she crossed her t’s
It was the way she dotted her i’s

Faces
Love is
Love is
Love is
Love!
One million birds
And not one dove,
Came to earth
From up above.
Is love
Is love
Is love
Not lovely?
Two billion faces
And not one ugly,
Wishing the same thing:
“Please don’t judge me.”

Dream
Yellow elephants
With pink polka-dotted hair
Suspended in air

Pretty People
Take off
Your pearl necklace
And
Kiss me, goddammit!
Stick your
golden coated
Tongue
All the way
Down my throat,
And
Fill my stomach
With
Diamonds.

Thief
What was I thinking
I should have ripped out your heart
When I had the chance

Only Human
We the people
Aren’t really people
At all
But this golden girl
Could sell a book
Teaching people to fall
She the person
Is barely a person
At all
But that golden girl
Bleeds blood
Just like us all

The Only Two Things I Can Promise You:
Some people will always be mean
So be nice to them
One day you will die
But don’t forget how to live
In a perfect world
foxhound314:
In a perfect world I’d make you mine In a perfect world The sun would always shine In a perfect world I wouldn’t waste my time To write you a single line To make you feel this rhyme and I know your kind attracted to the crime In a perfect world I wouldn’t make you mine In a perfect world I wouldn’t have to resist Because in a perfect world you wouldn’t exist

Bad's Good
What if I told you
That we’re not the good guys
If it wasn’t for you
I would hate to see the sunrise
If it wasn’t for you
I would still be in disguise
If it wasn’t for you
I would be eating up those lies
What if I told you
That we’re not the bad guys

Gumdrop Trail
I followed your trail
Of gumdrops you dropped
They led me to a black hole
In your head
I saw you inside out
Then outside in
Again
I saw who you were
And then who you are
You haven’t come far
You haven’t come far

Sin
Mother, won’t you sin?
Please don’t get into heaven.
You’ll be all alone.

Grow.
She said:
“This too shall fade
So I’ll live in a cage
With a million photographs
Barricading me in.
I’m only getting older
It’s getting harder to move these boulders
So I’ll live my life
Behind these metal bars”
I said: “Well that won’t get you far.”
“No. But that won’t get me hurt.”
“True.
But what good...

I'm Not Crazy
I’m telling the truth;
The walls were speaking to me.
The walls were breathing.

Chill Pill
I slipped a chill pill
In your cup of salty tears
Let’s see how this goes

No Hero
I asked him:
“If I shot you
And rushed you to the hospital
Before you died
Would you call me a hero?”
He replied:
“No,
I would call you heartless.”
…
“Well, your “God” is heartless then.”

Diamonds
You and I
Are just as worthless as coal
Or so I’ve been told
And with all
These lectures
We’ve been quite under pressure
But don’t go dark on me
Instead start shinin’
‘Cause in no time at all
We should turn into diamonds

Loud People
I’m getting good at
Shutting the door quietly
Behind loud people

The Way You Taste
I can’t remember
The way you taste when alone
Though I wish I could

Sunshine and Rain
Define feeling “fine”
Sunny days and rainy nights
I feel quite alright

But things are just things
People will always be mean
It’s all a routine

Liar
Open up your ears
I will tell you a secret

If Looks Could Kill
If looks could kill
Then just give me a glance

You
Won’t catch me sleeping
Believe me; I’m a liar
So lie next to me

Grinding of your teeth

Not A Lover
I couldn’t write
A poem about love
Because I know
No such thing
I’ve never met a woman
That made me want to
Look past her breasts
And into heart
Or listen above her heart
To the vibrations
That come out of her throat
And into my ears
I’ve never met a pretty woman
With an even prettier heart
But hearts are only pretty in drawings
I couldn’t write
A poem...

Let’s get married
And scare everyone
That adores their mirror

Habit
I have a habit of
Reading the end of poems
Before the beginning
… But I don’t jump to conclusions
Somedays I find myself waiting
For someone to tell me
It’s worth the wait
… Even if it’s not

Broke
Nothing’s ever free
The air costs too goddamn much
(So)medays I don’t breathe.

She was the long pause right in-between ”I” and “You” but she was no “Love”

Speak
If the trees could talk They would speak in tongue twisters Blowing us away

Heartbeat
I am not a warrior. I am war. I’m the king of the jungle. Hear me roar! Watch me beat my chest. I don’t want your respect but I demand your attention. Am I the only one who sees life as more than one dimension? Am I the only one who sees were just another wasted invention? Just another honorable mention. But I’m done pretending, and I’m done defending a country that kills...

The Cold
She was winter The cold weather
The snow
And we played And we laughed
We loved
And March came Not quick enough
She stayed
She was winter But now it’s March
And she stayed
I want to swim She wanted to sled
And she stayed
She was winter But now it’s March
So I left for the warmth

Insane
We’re more scared to live than we are to die, though we’ve stared fear right in the eyes. We play russian roulette with the wings of butterflies, but we know the truth lies in our own minds.
A sane friend is no friend of mine.

Monsters
Monsters don’t sleep under my bed anymore
I sleep with my mattress touching the floor
Why would I do that if I don’t want too? Why look at them, when I just want you?

Later
“See you later.” She mumbled The universe crumbled. Later was too far away; the ladder was too far away but maybe if he grabbed the clock he could turn “Later” into “Today” The weather would feel like May The clouds would be blue not grey if he grabbed the clock and turned “Later” into “Today” but the ladder was too far away So he stopped...
Happy Birthday to me!
