Poems
If you must write poems, the words you use should be your own.
Some of these poems might become songs but some of them aren’t meant to be.
I was born a monster

I was born a monster
Or was I made a monster
Made a devil by the devil in me
Start with grace start with a seed
That starts the death and all of the greed.
I'll always be here or at least part of me
Folding the paper that my soul reads
I'll always be lost unless I believe,
you cant hurt me, you cant hurt me
down is the need for falling apart
I've started climbing I made a start
I'm needless only when I see you bleed
All I am is unstoppable greed
I was born a monster
With a mirror in my head
Look inside you'll see when I'm dead
Was terrified and called on to try
To make it through to make this survive
Over and over and over
And safe?
I'll always be here or at least part of me
Turning the pages of the book my soul reads
I was born a monster
Or was a monster made of me

Open, try
Open, lie
Make me smile
Make me die
I am yours inside my mind
Begin again
She said with glee
Lets be the ones we want to be
She squeezed my hand she said
Follow me
I tried to look, I strained to see
Don't look
Don't try
Your eyes are blind
its with your heart you'll see my mind
I'm open
Lets be here
lets make the best of this last year
the gateway stood
we climbed inside
we found ourselves
we found inside
now all there is and all will be
is in this moment now you see

Blood lost

Blood lost, your blood on me
So many ways you made me bleed
Take a note, please take heed
Blood lost, lost your blood on me
Blood lost, your stains on me
Trapped in the ways, tried to please
Catch the ghost, the ghost to be
Blood lost, your stains still seen
Blood lost, I make believe
I can get on, roll up sleeves
Time to pass, past certainties
Blood lost, make you believe
Blood lost, time too will pass
Collect it all, all broken glass
Drains away never would last
Blood lost, lost in the past

Escape

Somehow we will escape all this
I know there's something better
Is it on the other side?
Or are we on the other side?

If everything was all right

If everything was all right
I'd be in your arms tonight
I'd be the glee of gladness
The death knell of all this sadness
If everything was all right
You'd scream my name tonight
Lay down the lovers gauntlet
and really make you flaunt it
If everything was all right
I'd be your man tonight
I'd capture all this loss
lose everything that costs
If everything was all right
I'd be in your arms tonight
Id hold on far too tight
And take the final flight
If everything was all right

Still Suffering
{

We are all still suffering
Though we're opening up
We are all still struggling
Though we're throwing it up
And I am remembering
The dreams I once had thought up
maybe I'm making silences
And making all of this up
And all and everything is still here
"Let go let go" cant lose the fear
Older and older the dreams are fading away
And if you wont help me
move on to yesterday
We are all still suffering
The days we thought we forgot
We are all still struggling
With all the innocence found and then lost
And I am still remembering
Someone else in the shot
Cast again, make another scene
I think I've given my lot
And all and everything is still here
"Let go let go" I cant lose the fear
Older and older the dreams are fading away
And if you wont help me
move on to yesterday

Somehow I knew

Somehow I knew it would come to all this
All that I am lost in a kiss
The kiss, the poison it brings me now
Fading fast stars falling down
Somehow I knew it would come to all this
Nothing forever, never lasting in bliss
I am the torch and I light the way
But in the sweet darkness you fade away
Somehow I knew it would come to all this
Delivered in love, I shot, I missed
Finally all I thought I had
So fleetingly known so longingly sad

We Are the Ones
{

We are the ones the ones with heart
Our shiny metal and disks of dark
We fix you with a seething stare
Lay you down and lay you bare
Sun has gone and darkness grips
We fear the loss and the pistol whips
We trace a line from ghost to god
We hold you up then give a nod
We breath again the life is here
Lost for an age but back we steer
We can see you you don't see us
We'll take a bow and miss you much
We are all that time has bled
We made a start and got lost instead
We fell away with a devils stare
I found you all alone down there
We are the ones the ones with heart
Pieced together from shards of dark
Developing wit and time to turn
Learn the ritual to burn and burn
We are the ones the ones with heart
I face the music I try to start
If you can make a person bleed
Then maybe they hear maybe they heed.

Then at last

Then at last we come to this
The final wave and slightest kiss
I've been a swallower dunked and drowned
I've been gutted pulled out then unbound
Then at last we close the door
Search for clues and beg for more
I've been broken bent and burned
I've come through it all and then I've learned
Then at last when we chime the chime
Wind back our watches smile at time
Its all in what you don't ever see
Robbed inside endless treachery
Then at last we catch the train
Into the distance with all that pain
Never falter never fear
When you need me, call me, sneer.
Then at last we come to this
Broken dreams and promises
I've given darkness back to light
I've been the soul that fears the night
Then at last we come to share
All we can and all we dare
I've been the one with the broken past
Fallen dead leaves never last.

Love is
{

Hide Poem
}
Love is a supermarket chain
They sell lost souls and dead sliced brain
Love is a darkened theatre
the brightest of lights a clever deceiver
Love is a lorry of hearts
Broken by souls with a beaten up past
Love is all this and all that
And a dark man in black tipped hat
Love is what you believe
Its all in the way you meet and deceive
Love is the flurry of souls
Cast into the blackest of pretended goals
Love is a plate that they serve
You get what you want and what you deserve
Love is now losing in time
If you believe in "all that is mine"
Love is now ended and lost
Just count the times that it hurt and it cost
Love is incredibly clean
It serves you and then makes you seem to be seen
Love is inside all of our needs
Given in touch and all our good deeds
Love is now coming to pass
You feel your heart then its beating so fast
Love is love is what you know
The mysteries now lined in an endless row
Got to get time to believe
we can find this love we don't need

Just one day
{

Hide Poem

Every day
Something calls me home
I am getting back
I am getting grown
Everyday
Someone makes me cry
Is it cause they leave
Or cause they die
I just want one day
Free from misery
That's that day
You come back to me
Every day
Someone teaches me
That I'm not here dead
I'm alive and see
Every day
Someone calls to me
Is it from behind
A distant memory
I just want one day
Free from misery
That's that day
You come back to me
Every day
Someone heals with me
I can feel your pain
Come on share with me
Everyday
Someone walks with me
Take that final path
This our history
