Tumor

He's cancer
I've cut him out
Continually he regrows
Killing me
This is it
No more games
Take the entire organ

Porcelain doll

I'm determined to find that piece
For the middle of my forehead
To actually be pretty again
Soft again
Lovable again
Worthy again
To present well with company
To be the most prized toy
I will find it if it kills me
Because it matters now
I matter now

Dark cloud

He's evil I tell you
Can turn honey to dirt
Every good thought
He crumbles and throws in the well
Every hope you had
He dismantled
That was your fault
Or that's what he'll mumble
Millions of wasted seconds
Sucked from your life joyfully
By a dead man walking

Awake

I crawled here
Blistered hands
Scuffed knees
Clothes torn
But I made it
How strange it feels
To finally stand up

Path never mine

Tired of being the answer
To everyone else's question
The left to their right
The forward motion to follow
My path never mine
Yet I'm always blamed
When we end up lost

Next/last one

My words bounced off yours
As if rehearsed
Glances were exchanged
Smiles dancing in time
I was right all along
You were always
Meant for only me

Army jacket

Gimme a hug
Before we leave each other
To fight our seperate wars
I know home is calling
You should defend your family
As I will always do for mine
Be safe in battle my friend
Know I am just a breath away

Blind trainer

They were always zebras
Impossible to train
Yet the fault was ours
For wishing they were solid ponies

Mermaid's song

I saw your boat coming
Positioned myself strategically
Knew that I sparkle from this angle
I sang to you
Invited you closer
Ran my hands down your neck
My thumbs caressed your earlobes
I knew what I was doing
My hazel eyes locked your gaze
I trapped you
It wasn't fair
It wasn't right
It's what I do
Such a beautiful demon I am
I've sank many boats
Thrown many life preservers away
Left captains to choke on salt
Pretty destroyer of minds
I was looking for the one
Who could swim fast enough
To keep up with my escape attempts
I was looking for the one
Who makes me feel safe enough
To never swim away again

Moving day

Our contract is void
No longer may you lease
Inside this mind of mine
Gather yourself
There's a space for rent outside
Right next door
But you know that
You're friends with the owner

Gatekeeper's rhyme

I fell into a love
That had me contained
After leaving a love
Physically drained
I motioned to you
To unlock the gate
You cut the bolt and turned
But I told you to wait
