Tossing and turning
Twisted up in sheets of cloth
As the sweat soaks through
Listen to the night birds sing
Beneath a watery moon
Summer nights swelter
When summer rains never fall
From a groaning sky
Crying out for wet release
And thrashing desperately
I dance and cry for rain.

No Disguise For Madness
Lilac flowers
sweetly resting
on broken bones
Pure white roses
tainted crimson
by my very own blood
Sunshine yellow dandelions
gently laid
over my tired eyes
(Try as you might
but you can't disguise madness)
A face in the mirror
Reflecting back the light
Time carves these lines
I try to believe you
While inside I die
I’m fading, dissolving again
The light in me is ending
Burns through my head
I’m fading, dissolving again
The light in me is ending, it’s over
We’ll wake up in the morning
Reaching out to the sky
Waking up, the sun is mine
Wake up in the morning
Today I can’t fall
As I set new fires alight
It’s in the mirror
I’ll hide my light
And drown my name
I try to believe you
While inside I die
I’m fading, dissolving again
The light in me is ending
Burns through my head
I’m fading,

January 29th 2016 (I Am the Blade)
I am the blade, honed a razor edge
Forged and shaped by these hellfires I’ve made
Quenched in the waters of a single pledge
I am the blade
Every time I wish, every time I've prayed
Every long night on that damn ragged edge
Face to face with all the pain I have made
Led me here to this final dropping ledge
Time to pay for how far I’ve gone astray
And all countless little evils I’ve fledged
I am the blade

You would destroy me, and I would let you
I loved you with all the ugly parts of myself.
The ones I refuse to show the world.
I loved you with angry biting kisses,
And deep scratches down your back.
I loved you with my pain,
With all of my sorrow.
I loved you with my shattered heart,
With all my jagged edges.
I loved you with my tears,
With the screaming of my soul.
I loved you with the deep shadows surrounding me.
The same ones surrounding you.
I loved you with everything I was.
All the bad, because that’s all I had.
You loved me with the same ferocity.
With the same white hot rage.
You loved me with all of your darkness.
Letting all of your demons and monsters out to
