Opposites Attract

If I am the melody, will you be my harmony?

If I sing the chorus, will you play the verse?

If I live in daylight, say greet me by steetlight.

Because opposite ends attract.

If I lay in grass, you float by on a cloud.

If I love the water, you evaporate me.

My year is the yin, and you are the yang.

But opposite ends attract.

I am the willow, and you are the rock.

I cry, and you hold me.

I am the girl, and you are the man.

So opposite ends attract.

Black Rose Ice

Two weeks floating under black rose ice

Chillingly dark

Shivers upon my flesh.

Parted lips inhale

The seductive scent of solitude.

Voluptuous imaginations

In the silence of the room

Where plum colored witches fly

And petals coat the sleeping magic.

Swollen eyes from falling tears

To close them and forget

Would be a luxery.

Here to weeks under black rose ice

Dreaming impossibilities

For endless years.

Nymph Feelings

nymph feelings.
fairy feelings.
are these feelings.

forever stuck
between girl and woman.
not feeling human.

jealous feelings
for the love around me
which cannot touch me.

always longing
for that little bit more
and getting nowhere.

my story
is to have no story.
and i am not anywhere.

a dull life alone
stealing emotions when i can
living vicariously through my dreams.

nymph feelings.
fairy feelings.
are these feelings.

Faith

Hey God.

I don't know if you can hear me, praying out.

One voice among a million.

I don't know if you can see me

Or hear what I'm thinking.

I don't know if all that stuff is true.

But I know one thing.

I'd like to believe.

And I'd rather live for a god than to not

And find out I was wrong.

So I don't know, it's true.

But I guess that's faith.

Unmatched

When your body unmatches your soul
And you can't see behind your skin
You feel separate
Detached
And you don't fit in.
And you just can't get away
The price of man's first sin.
A disease that is humanity
I feel like a mistake
And always running blindly
I'll do whatever it takes.
To set free the spirit
And flee the flesh
The binding confines
That are doomed to death.

Mirror, Mirror

What do you do when you look in the mirror
And see someone who shouldn't be there?
Something foreign, alien
Unwelcome
Unwanted
To your unfocused eyes, just a blur
A shape in the glass
And you want to run away
But it follows you
And it's all anyone else can see
And it's with you forever
This something you don't want to be

UnTruth

Desperation, desecration

No one knows the truth

Darkness hiding somewhere deep

There's nothing I can do

Formed opinions, gossiped lies

Segregate me from the world

So I sit here all alone

No hope for going home
