Inconsiderate Idiot

He may be pretty with deep intelligent eyes
But his heart is cold and has a mind full of lies
I care about you I really do so please just let me say
Don't trust him, you will find a perfect person one day

You feel so lost in his words but listen to the truth
There are so many more than the idiots from our youth
He will do more harm than good you need to see
That he is a demon; you need to see what he can be

I know that now you have seen his true colours it aches
I don't pretend to know everything but I can tell fakes
Now you have seen what he truly is and I feel for you
I honestly do, the perfect ones are far between and few

But you will meet one in the future so forget the let-down
Don't let the inconsiderate idiot cause you to frown
Don't give up on looking for the one because I know
When you find him he will help you to truly glow

Empty Bottle

I grimace as it all happens again
Memories clash as your eyes blame
But it's not me that holds that creature
No it's not my soul that has that feature

I hold my breath, don't move, it's awake
A hunter in the hunted body, too late
I can't watch as you scream and cry
Im terrified, petrified, you scare me, I won't lie

A bad day like yesterday and the day before
Letting the fiery liquid burn to your core
A diet of death and lethargic fights
Here comes another meal by candle light

I lie down and accept my advancing fate
You still hold my heart, my sickly soul mate
But I don't expect these claws to rip it out
As you laugh while I writhe, plead and shout

In Our Own World

We don't have a band on our fingers
But no-one can doubt these feelings that linger
No, they can't say we don't feel what we feel
Not when I fell too far for this to feel real

I always said that these days bore me to hell
But I return home and you always have a tale to tell
And you remind me why I push through the days
It's because I can come home to a family in every way

They judge us but they will know that for this love I will fight
They say my love for you is foolish, that it's a sickening sight
But you and I both know they are wrong in what they believe
We can no longer live alone, these feelings won't leave

If I can hear your voice I can live like the blind
But I know you would never hurt me, you're too kind
So we don't listen when they say our love is not right
Because none can feel as safe as I do when I return to you each night

Hungry Desire

Your eyes as black as night
You souls flame burns so bright
Your love for my life stops your embrace
Your blood the painful reminder of your race

I can hear your heart longing
The pain that comes with belonging
The beauty that caught my eye
Why does it make me cry?

The hunger that consumes you
Is the spark I see now renew
But know you want more than blood
Now what you need is love

So now you run so fast and far away
You hide to prevent the hunger taking sway
But the fangs need to be fed
And they desire something so darkly red

All I Can Do

I sit here and think, for its all I can do
Think about what I know and what is true
They know the words I wish to speak
But also know that I am far too weak
To search anymore for what others still seek

I sit and I wait for the darkness to fade
This darkness that my own mind has made
I know that only I can set myself free
But I still am too blind to see
And until then, bound, shall I eternally be

I can feel them there; I can feel the love they show
And it is almost too terrifying for me to know
But it seems that they savour my despair
And I know everyone else is too busy to care
About the pain both my soul and face wear

So I shall sit in my cell of handmade bone
And wait until my heart turns to silver stone

Expectations, Realisations

They tell me that I can pass these tests
They tell me I could be one of the best
But they don't care about what I wish
And I can tell you now I don't want this

They don't seem to want to know
That they are the reasons I feel low
Or that the reason I don't feel alive
Is because there's no breathe left to survive

I sit here and twiddle my thumbs in distress
Bored out of my mind, I really must protest
Not yet a recluse but so bored of everyone
Need a purpose not another pathetic con

And when they try to tell me one more time
That I will be able to do anything, will be fine
Then maybe they should take a look at my arms
Because this boredom is a cause of alarm

Smile

Ill smile for you
Just because you'll smile for me too
They say that there is a gift to a smile
But it seems that I'm not going to smile again for a while
I'm going away to a far off place
They say I'll need my space
But I'm worried that I'll lose my way
Because of the games they play
I'm all one for games, they help keep people near
But it seems the place I'm going is one of my fears
It's not a prison of any kind
That's what they say but it plays on my mind
If it's not a cage then why the locks and bars
Where are the windows, the gardens, the stars?
It's white and clean, they say it helps but I disagree
How am I meant to smile if I can't just be me?
So I ask you this one favour only a small request
Will you come and play my games after I rest
If I'm left alone in this place I might go insane
I might lose my smile if there's only the pain and the rain

Sunlight and Darkness

Lifeless world that isn’t dead
A beauty that is left unseen
From the darkness will this world be led?
Night and day, this worlds between

The question stands: Is it dusk or dawn?
Into darkness are we led or have we fled
Do we end or are we born?
Do we rise or fall to this lullaby bed

Woken birds sing sweet praise
Night’s shrouded eye has closed
The sun, its head will raise
What darkness hid is exposed

A glorious world, a new home
With trees and bees and calmed seas
That all sway to the risen suns tone
See how the sun changes life with such ease

Dear Humans

Help me understand for I’m confused
I see people smile as they marry
Then this happy vow they use
To excuse this grudge they carry

I see people cry into a friend
Then stab them in the back
Is this the result of the love we send?
If it is, love’s something I would happily lack

I see a lord save his people from death
Then lead them into a war they can’t win
So tell me why I should waste my breath
When all I see is a war between our kin

I beg of you to tell me what is true
Because if this is all we are
I see nothing that I can do
I truly think you have fallen too far

Deceitful Security

I feel you even when you aren't there
And these feelings, they're too much to bear
You are under my skin, hold a permanent place
All because of those events I just can't face

Are you happy now? Now that I flee from life
Hide in the rooms I long to burn, grasping the knife
Because I can't forget you, the mark you so graciously left
You stole a lot from me and still haven't paid for that theft

I can still hear you here whispering deceitful words of security
While you took away my everything, burning me with impurity
I remember your hands, your breath, and your eyes as I cried
Pleaded with you to let me be, you said I could go, you lied

So now I can't leave this place, too far gone in my own mind
No evidence or a body will those desperate souls find
Once I called them friends but you showed me reality
There is no friendship or love just advantage and brutality
