Endings

did you see when she winked at me
the never ending monotony
displayed in such brilliant form

as if
to show the world
that she is worth so much more

than the lies you'd have her believe
are her destiny
the lies you'd have her believe that would

change everything

if they ended right. now
ended
and were never said again

you've pushed her to this brink
pushed her to fall
this low

do not push off this blame
do not forget and have no say
do not

harm her anymore in this way
step back
step forward

push her with you
draw back your arms
let go of her

drop the residue
the truth that gleams now away from you
leave behind

Roots

Packed bag
One foot forward
Into tomorrow

The other planted
In the past
And so she stands

With no middle
Just behind
And before

Always the same old
'You'
Store

Of what it is
She needs
To be

What it is
She needs
To see

One foot out the door
The other
Forever planted on the floor

Cover Your Ears::Hear Life

Hands over ears
Supposed silence
But the cacophony remains

Breath
Overcomes the heartbeat
Air
Overtakes the flow

Realization that
Silence
Of desperate cause
Does not exist

Life
Cannot be separated
From the noise

Pain
Cannot be removed
From the joy

Experience blends
In madness
And perfection

Her Haunted Steps

Because you thought it was over
it began again
Because you rose above it all
it broke your back again
Because you flaunted change to the ending
it started round again

Because the silver never shed
it drowned you
Because the words remained unsaid
it choked you
Because the smile wasn't real
it gave you grief

Because it is impossible
it stepped forward again
Because it is unfixable
it became the problem again
Because there is no happy ending
it wrote the final ending
