That which is written within you
does not easily erase
You can run
but you'll just be running in place
In a house of mirrors
you cannot hide your face
The story unfolds
without any saving grace

We have chosen our masks
which slowly suffocate
Assault on conscience
as our mistakes replicate
Sometimes hearts shatter
other times they perfectly break
Into two pieces
I've forever lost one to fate

lovekinesis

owls at my window
seems to know something i don't know
they cry and scratch
strike my vein like a match
our magical spells
worked so well now they're just fail
was it love
or simply candles and spells

i see the moon's light
used to make everything all right
now it just burns
balance restored as midnight returns
finding me and finding you
so apart in lives so true
was it love
or simply daggers and words

i throw you all away
every last memory of the day
closed eyes at sunrise
the spirit is willing but carrion cries
not even the crow
will forever linger 'round my soul
was it love at all
or simply sorcery and psi

Clear Lip Gloss

I.

I saw the stars shine bright
within you.
Then they fell,
no wish came true.
Such dim reflections
we cast in glass.
You're most beautiful
just wearing lip gloss.
I swear
this will be the last time.
You will stay
even if you know the cost.
You will stay
behind your grave.
You will stay
and think you're not lost.

II.

Hard to find my way
when dreaming in place.
There's no tomorrow
when lost in yesterday.
I know the lies
crafted from belief.
Surfaces are calm
as storms rage beneath.
Does it matter
who won or lost,
When the dead
are not at peace?
I know you want
me to wake up
But I just need
a little more sleep.
