Great

Is it not great how we build our walls,
How we hide behind them for so long...
How we run away from each other
And how we fall together?

Is it not great how our walls fall sown,
And how we stand naked in each other's arms...
How all we have is us and how we fight for it,
Darling. You have what you need.

No Walls

Let my walls come down for a little while,
Allow me to lay motionless for a few hours...
Indulge me in silence and hold me too tight...
I need someone beside me tonight if I cry.
Squeeze me so tightly and leave bruises behind,
I promise I need this tonight.
I don't do this often, I promise you this...
But when I do, I need it to breathe,
So please... bear with me tonight,
And I'll be fine by tomorrow night.
Let me have my way for this short time,
Allow me to cry until nothing's dry,
Please let me be vulnerable for once in this life...
And please.... stay beside me tonight.

Lie to Me

Lie to me and tell me everything will be okay
That while you're here nothing will hurt anymore.
Tell me the nothingness won;t approach,
And tell me for the last time, I'm safe.
Lie to me, and tell me you missed me,
That for the very first time in a long time you're here...
Tell me you're staying, tell me you're fine...
And promise me for the very last time
You're mine.

Lie to me, please, my world is not ending,
Tell me again how fortunate I am
And promise me I'm fine.
Tell me the monsters are gone
And the blood on the walls disappeared...
Tell me it's my imagination...
Tell me there is no connection.
Promise me my nightmares are dreams,
They're not premonitions of sick fantasies
Tell me, my dear, I can let my guard down....
Tell me, for the very last time...
You're still mine.

Lie to me, dearest, I need this to breathe,
The air in the room is so stuffy and empty,
The darkness inside is creeping within
And the sin in which we live is complete.
Tell me we're simple, tell me we're loved...
Tell me the good gods above are watching...
Promise me I don't have to fight this...
Please... I can't keep this up.
Tell me you missed me, tell me you're here...
Promise me for the very last time...
This night will be over and you'll still be mine.

Alone in Loneliness

Suddenly she feels so alone,

And in her loneliness she doesn't think ahead,

The only goal is getting through the day

Whatever it takes.... again.

One foot placed in front of the other,
And full of grace she waltzes through the street...

The light comes down, shining through the clouds

But she's not there, she checked out.

She sits alone on the pavement,

The rain is falling still through her soul...

There's nothing there... she is not alone.

Shadows move across the empty ground,

A hand closed tight around her throat and then

She falls apart, she knows she's coming home...

But on her trip... she'll still be all alone. 

When?

I'm sitting here, wondering, when did you stop being my inspiration?
Where once you helped me write, now you freeze me solid...
When did you stop being the center of my universe?
Oh... that never really stopped.
I wonder when you came off the pedestal I had for you,
And boy did I mount you high!
When did you collapse and when did you break my heart?
When did my innocent become this deviant?!

When did you sneak up behind me and bit my throat right out?
When did you leave me bleeding and then shut me out?
When did you stop calling when did you disappear?
When did you abandon me dear?

I'm sittin' here wonderin' where you disappeared...
Where the butterfly I chased dissolved into thin air...
And now, the storms are higher, can you feel it, dear?
The electric buzzing that charges through my hair...

When did you fall off the pedestal I nailed you on?
And how, from what you were, become so fallible?
My sculpture, vampire, am I still your guardian,
Or have you moved from me, from what I might become?

When did we drift and put worlds between us two,
Were you that afraid of what I'd do to you?

When did we run away and reached infinity,
In both directions baby, you won't be finding me.

When did we break apart and live so well alone?
When did we decide we're done?

When did we both give up and drifted apart?
I'm just your memory, but you have my heart.

You Terrify Me

You simply terrify me, dearest one,
You chill me to the bone and through...
You freeze my bloody marrow and I forget myself
Inside these dreams of yours.
You hold me like the shore hugs the waves,
And with my every movement, you embrace me still,
Always unmoving, always so soft...
Your velvet skin as hot as summer days,
Your kisses as sweet as morning dew
For in your arms I feel as safe as ever,
And in your arms, I fall asleep once more.

You terrify me, dearest one,
The way I miss your arms around me...
The way you make me smile so completely
And hurt my cheeks from grinning like a girl.
I'm scared to death because you make me laugh,
And I feel safe as if for the very first time...
As if the crystal around formed a clear box
And together we sleep in the night's velvet bed
Engulfed in silk sensations of the heart.
And with my very soul I call to you, as you to me...
And yes, I'm terrified.

In Your Sleep

Did you know you smile in your sleep? You do.

You dream your happy dreams and smile.

Did you know you talk in your sleep? You do.

You answer your questions calmly.

Did you know you leave room for me in your sleep? You do.

You scoot over and I slide right in.

Did you know I like it when you sleep? I do.

Nothing can harm you with my at your side.

Sex

Sex sells again and again,

Primal creatures find each other lost.

Simple needs

Ecstasy

X-marked.

Sin

Late night rendezvous with you,

Between your sheets I found you hiding, dear

And all caution was thrown to the wind...

Who cares, dear? Who needs to know?

Broken lullabies forsaken to the night

I find us laying together again...

Cold sheets, warm breath, soft skin...

Falling deeper and deeper in Sin.

It is

It's cold and miserable, and I thrive today.

Extra cautious sneaking around tonight,

Who cares? Who needs to know?

You're like a blanket around me.

It's pouring out and I'm laying next to you

You're warm, and soft, and you're dry

And all I want to do is surrender

Over and over.

It's night and there's no light to be found

I love this condition because I can find you anywhere

You're comforting and adorable...

You're my escape from the world.

It's nice in your arms right now,
And I really like it here tonight...

So I think I'll stay for as long as I'll stay

And trust me, no one needs to know. ;)
