First Aid Kit

                         Disinfectant

dreams turn to nightmares and nightmares to dreams.

                Bandages

to purify the wounds and todays tears.

         Band aid

fears, allow the cut to heal.

      Time

heals all wounds.

In painkiller thoughts

     I believe

Ghost Girl

Follow her is sillence,

follower her in fear.

Will she lead to violence?

I feel the truth is near.

        Take her snow white hand.

        Breathe the ice cold air.

         Hear the eerie band,

         in the villains lair.

Ghost Girl never spoke

but you followed anyway.

Her beauty makes you choke.

She makes you want to stay.

        Touch her long dark hair,

         kiss her blood red lips.

         Caught in her black stare

         as your heart rips.

Now you’re just like Ghost Girl.

Cold, White, Dead.

In your hair her fingers curl.

I love you dear is all she said.

Ribbons and Lace

My heart is yours.

How would you like it,

wrapped up in ribbons and lace?

      My heart is yours.

      How should I send it,

      in an envelope sealed with a kiss?

My heart is yours.

What for should it take?

What forn do you wish?

Lullaby

Mesmerized by burning candles,

rain

and fireflies.

         Beauty must be reconsidered

         tonight

         as the fire dies.

                        I want to believe in strength

                         paper hearts

                         and pretty lies.

                                    Tonight I will sleep to dream

                                     and

                                     rest my weary eyes.

Calm

Sitting by a stream.

My thoughts are slipping away.

Today I feel calm.

Daydreamer

I dream in the day

            because I can’t dream at night.

I keep my head in the clouds

            because I can’t keep my feet on the ground.

I stare into space

            because theres something there to see.

Tears

I know my heart is breaking.

I don’t know how to save it.

Tears roll down my face,

washing me away.

                 I know my mask is breaking.

                 The ribbons wore away.

                 Paint drips down my face,

                 leaving me exposed.

I know my heart is broken.

I know I’ll fade away.

I know my tears are empty.

I just don’t know why.

Black and White flowers

Do you see tonight?

Black and white flowers bloom.

Touch of light and dark.

Thoughts of Romeo and Juliet

She moved with grace

I saw her face

like lillies white and pure.

                He stood a while

                then a smile.

                His eyes were deepand blue.

After just one glance,

we took a chance.

I knew you loved me too.

                 But every touch

                 cost so much.

                 Our lives forever doomed.

Clocks

Tonight I watch the clocks

but I miss every minute.

A waste of time.

A waste of life.

            I listened to their heartbeats

            but I only hear them tick

            because when I watch the clocks,

            im not really alive.

                              I feel the time pass

                              because I see the hands move

                              I know the sun rises

                              but am I a waste of time?
