Fear and Fortune
if i push
can you love
somewhere easier
if i act frigid enough
will you find someone prettier
safer
wiser
more gentle
a safer little girl
to love
because it always ends
with murder
and the last light
in me will go
when it happens to you
Long Gone
when you want me now
how long will it last?
when will silver time be gone
in that instant
when you find better
i'm the typhoid mary
in your heart
slowly you'll see
that they were right
there's nothing here to hold
it was too late long ago
The End
tried to tell you
in quiet words
that the ache
was a sign
that the end
was at hand
that there was nothing
left
that the knife is over there
the pills are right here
the bridge is nearbye
whispered in your ear
about the burning inside
the restless nights
that ate me alive
tried to tell you
with the way that i am
but i was never enough
Bipolar Heart
how helpless i've become
to the moments in and out of you
the lost and found instants
like soured milk
where relief and joy
are paired with fear and pain
thinking too much
and drowning in tears
cold in this empty place
hungry for any way to be
only nearer to you
