love .
it's the one thing that differentiates our species among the rest.

we grow up knowing that one day we will love. 

everyone wants love and to be loved.

it's the one thing every single human on the face of the earth,of all mankind’s history,its what they all longed for at least once in their life.

& I’m sick of it.

 
I’m not looking for love anymore.

I’m looking for someone 
who’s not looking for love in the least.

 
& if that’s you then I’m looking for you
&when i find you,

 
we're probably gonna get what’s coming to us;

which is inevitably & ironically:
love.

Rapid descent unmasking tyrants

Boys of darkness cackle irrelevance

Pin cushions, broken dolls erase

Child play, on sunny fun filled days

Shadows deep with purple thick heat

Strengthening evil as all the good recedes

Cloaked in corners, drones of dirt

Mismanaged jigsaw, cork torn skirts

Thunder claps lightning, spider lit sky

Shrieking pointed ringing, heaven and hell collide

Swirl of grandiose masterful plans

Holding so close dangling mortals in hand

Psycho lured dwelling that emboss the weak

Raise them by flesh to rip apart and cleave

I Miss You

Today I thought of you

And how We use to use

Today I thought of you

And all you use to do

Today I cried out loud

I violated my vows

Protect you I had said

My soul is filled with dread.

This Eve I thought of you

And your fear of spiders to

This Eve I thought of you

With the silly way you chewed

Tonight you consume my mind

They say it will ease in time

My Love I miss you so

Why did you have go?

I always sing our song

Hoping that I'm wrong

Maybe you'll Appear

Ease this aching fear

I lay in our sweet bed

My love my love your'e dead

My heart it misses your touch

I love you so very much

I drift on off to sleep

Where you and I always meet

Holding hands we retreat

To the fabric of my dreams.

Perfect Stranger

I do not matter please take my love

You do not know me and you don’t need to

Just know that I am here for you

The days are long and nights are longer

Just know that you are not alone

I have nothing to offer but to let you know

That I am here for you

We will never meet, we will never laugh together

But I am here for you when grey are the days

It is sad for me to know you are under covers

And worrying about being alone

I have little love and little happiness

But I give to you, whoever you are

I am tired and I am up late at night

Just know that I am thinking of you

Whoever you are I wish you didn’t feel so alone

I am never going to know you, but I feel you

Know I am out here, and I care so much for you

Don’t search for me, you won’t find me

I love you, whoever you are.

No more crying with the blankets pulled so high

i accept your loneliness and I take it from you

I give you my love, because you need it

I will be a shell, I will be lonely tomorrow

You, will wake up feeling better, because I love you

perfect stranger,

I love you and hate your sadness

just know that I care for you…

perfect stranger...

I hope we never meet
