Toxic Cure

smooth sensation
red and fluid
hard against the pain
soft against the mind
easy to swallow
and easy to cope with

why cant it always be just like this?
soft to the touch in everything that i do
my mind is foggy,
a mist of never happenenings
and what can be's
a mist of surprises
and secret desires

talk to me a little longer
tell me your secrets
let my heart be your refuge
and let me hide in your love

Immobility in the Storms

I will make it through this storm--
although the winds are harsh and sharp against my wounds,
I will make it through whether you are there or not.

I can't turn off what I feel,
all the pain, the love, the pain,
the memories;
vivid in my mind
seared into my heart...
although
I scream inside, "No More!"--
what is there left for me to do?
I can't seem to move.

I close my eyes ,
but my heart can't forget your image
and my skin crawls at the thought of another.
Is this all there is for me?
Almost a prisoner,
without a desire to escape,
I can't seem to move.

Freedom

Betrayed
Beyond Repair
in more ways than flesh...
In spirit , in love,
all lies
just lies

A year to show me the truth
A year to pass by so I can see the truth;
the truth you were too afraid to tell.
But the truth always finds its way,
because "The Truth shall set you free"
and now,
because of the occluded life you lived,
that life of secrets that is no more,
I am free.

Freedom is Sweet--
for after the truth there is nothing left.
With nothing left, I can start to live
because now there is nothing to lose;
I have nothing to lose because you were never really mine,


Interesting that now you want to belong to me.
But, did you know--I don't want you anymore:
I choose my Freedom.

Sweet Deception

I was so naive,
I was deceived by your sweetness.
I was nothing more but your next prey
and my soul is now devoured completely.

I'm stuck in this fog
and I can't see what's in front of me,
I only know where I've been and where I came from;
And somehow, you're stuck here with me.

I try to break free from the cold winds,
but my lungs are constricted more and more
and the more I try to move forward into the blindness
the more I do not sway from where I am.

The ice has settled
and I am numb.
