BOOK #07




ENTWINED


Like melted chrome,

My thoughts, are warped around you.

Everything is intermingled.


A scent, a sigh;

Can blast me off on an adventure ride,

In which I cannot hide.


You’re melted in every crevice,

And usurp my best efforts,

To clean you from my mind;

With me, you’re entwined.

PUSHED TOO FAR


If they push me too far,

It’s just going to spell disaster;


Don’t they think I know?

The mistakes I’ve sowed,

Without their endless crow,

Scolding me that I let go.


Do they think my life is breezy?

Well I’ll tell you it’s not easy;

I’m freezing inside out.


I know if I don’t turn about,

Me, reaching twenty is in doubt,

For if I don’t break out,

I’m just going to fizzle out.

SURVIVING A BROKEN HEART


She feels like shards of glass,

Are being ground into her gushing heart.

She knows they can never be,

He’s with her now,

She’s with he.


Loneliness, is what she’ll have to get used to,

If she’s to survive through;

Her pain, she will have to tame,

For love is something she can’t feign.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY


Misgivings,

About endless mistakes,

Oh, how my soul grates.


But it’s funny,

I always thought I’d die,

Or perhaps fast until all life passes by.

U thought it would be over,

If he turned his shoulder.

But no – rather I still see light,

And I see the future bringing happier sight.


Just goes to show,

Though all may no work out right,

There are endless possibilities for the sun to rise.

Hope’s never gone unless you close your eyes.

ALL CHANCE PAST


I let time wash by,

Now it will never be him and I.

Though love may survive,

All chance I let past.


So I have to let go,

Cause I know,

It will never be,

Him and me.

COERCIVE


He scares me sometimes,

He knows my mind,

He knows what he can do,

With out other knowing too.

He could break the law,

And know I’d never tell what I saw.

I HATE YOU CAUSE I LOVE YOU


I hate you,

Cause I love you,

Why I love you,

I don’t know.

You have never been my idealised ‘perfect guy’

But you make sparks fly.


I hate the way you stare,

Your blue eyes milk me clean,

They gulp down my soul,

Guzzle down life’s gleam.

I’m left with nothing but an empty shell,

And the side effects of your spell.


Gosh I hate you,

Cause I know I love you,

Why I love you,

I just don’t know.

You have never been my idealised ‘perfect guy’,

But you make sparks fly.


You’re so confident it’s irritating,

You say from your love I can’t run or hide.

Me, you will most definitely find,

And you’ll take me through make me yours,

Even if you have to lock the doors.


I really hate you,

Of course it’s cause I love you,

Though why I love you,

I just don’t know.

You will never be my idealised perfect guy,

But you alone make sparks fly.

LIKE A DOVE


My love’s like a dove,

Colour pure, feeling true,

An olive branch of peace,

Shows after I’ve been angry with you.

And though I may fly alone,

In my heart your face reads home.

CONTINUING ON


I trip on the wire,

And stumble across glass,

Blindly groping,

Smoke comes,

I’m choking.


But I continue on,

Cause I need to belong,

Yeas, and I’ll stumble along,

Cause I need to move on,

Find where I belong.


Sticky sludge stinks,

As I amble through.

It’s up to my chin,

Some sludge splashes into,

I’m aghast as I consume.


But I continue on,

Cause I need to belong,

Yeas, and I’ll stumble along,

Cause I need to move on,

Find where I belong.

CANDID LOVE


I love you so much,

You can break my heart,

And I’ll love you as much,

As at the start.

NOW I KNOW


I sat back,

And sighed.

I felt like salt-water,

Would fill my eyes,

Trembles spread,

From head to toes;

Now I know,

Now I know,

I will show.

HEADLESS CHOOK


I’m sick of running round,

Like a headless chook –

Running in circles,

Until the motor breaks down,

And you fall to,

The blood-splattered ground.

So I’ll keep my head intact,

And stay on track.

TRAUMATIZED FAIRY


How scary to think,

I am your light,

I am the one,

To make things right;


It’s so scary,

Cause I’m a traumatised fairy,

Wobbling round and round,

Never lifting off,

Never touching ground.


I’m such an uncertain things,

It’s scary to think,

I am the one,

To end the hurting.

BECOMING THE SAVIOUR


You need me,

So I’ll go,

I will show.


I’d give my life for you,

I’d cover crime for you,

I’d bleed dry for you,

Cause I love you to the core.


I’ve made my choice,

I’ll scream out my voice,

Make the walls fall,

I’ll be the saviour,

You’re waiting for.

THE HILL


I have to get over,

This hill,

Which has my name,

Plastered on its side.


It’s a giant hill,

Built of my wrongs,

Have to move it right,

If I’m to make it,

Over the hump,

Out of the slumps.

CONCURRENT EMOTIONS


It hurts me,

Makes me sad to think,

You’re caught in a trap,

And are on the brink.


It cuts me,
