Painted

This slow life

was ruinin’ me fast.

You paint me a picture

I gave you child

Workin’ hard

tryin’ to get right,

but relative is thought,

and relative is love.

Thought about it twice 

you thought about it once

no family, no money.

Naive I am, 

but innocent I’m not.

Pure drop of love

dropped on my eye.

The more I learn

the more I will discover.

And I’m falling,

falling away,

away with you.

Electric

Feel through me, in one cold sweep

let my soul weep in grief.

 Heartless ache, breaks dawn

my day pre-recorded; 

plays what I hate.

Sought out solutions, fueled by desolation

and now that it’s over

my feet stumble forward.

I fall at each rock, 

blood laces my steps;

an echo rings clear

I hear my self breathe.

No longer scared,

I burn with desire. 

Mindless

I can barely function,

I can hardly sleep.

I’m flooded by memories-

so hard to defeat.

hot tears haunt me

anger sunk it’s teeth in me

it’s red face of laughter 

plaguing my dreams

 blank slates

pallets of color

but all I drew

was hued in red

unburied past,

burst into flames

held in my hands

I'll let it burn

smoke rising tall

help came fast;

cold refreshing water

ran through my veins

dripping from me 

came the sadness I sung

and from the strands of my hair

came the anger I held.
