AND I BUILT THIS
I BUILT THIS FOR PEOPLE
PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
I BUILT THIS CASTLE
STONE BY STONE
AND I DUG THIS MOTE.
AND I WORKD THROUGH
THE PAIN, THROUGH THE BILISTERS
I ENDURED IT ALL.
AND I THOUGH OF YOU.
I THOUGH OF YOU.
YOU GOT ME THOUGH
MY MOTIVATOR.
I THOUGH OF YOU WHEN I BUILT THIS
THIS CASTLE AROUND MY HEART
AND NOW IM REDUCED
TO THE MAN WHO LIVES ALONE.
I BUILT THIS CASTLE TO KEEP YOU OUT.
I BUILT THIS CASTLE TO SHOW YOU
SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I WANTED IT ALL.
I BUILT THIS CASTLE TO SHOW YOU
I BUILT THIS CASTLE TO KEEP YOU OUT.
BUT I BUILT A DOOR
A DOOR INCASE YOU EVER CAME HOME.

When the Quagmire Is Called Home

I will take it
take your Hand
In mine,
This is the time.
I've done my bidding
I have been delt my cards
Time and Time again
I have let it eat at me.
Devour me. All this muck
This which has
Become all of me.
How ever could I have let this
Let this be.
Of all the things i desire
This is the farthest from it.
I will take you hand.
You can pull me through it.
As you overcome.
Through you this battle
Has been won.

like a black canvas
spread upon the floor,
lacking shape and direction.
spreading thinner
thinner and thinner.
it fills the cracks.
leaking into the foundation
as it streches farther,
farther and farther
from the cup
from which it came.
the ceramic shards
lay sprawled out
the random patern
of the broken cup,
the broken heart

If This is a dream why are all my nightmares painted on the walls

I see you creeping,
in and out,
of the crevases in my mind.
Like the wind slipping
Into an open window.
I dream this dream,
That creeps in with the breeze.
and even if it comes true.
so as the sun rises,
this will all fade.
eyelids will lift to reveal,
the horors of the night befor.
i dream these dreams
beautiful as they may be.
but painted with water colors
on the canvas of my heart awaiting
a rainstorm.
as beautiful as can be.
as can be
these just might be nightmares to me.

Fraud Is A Felony

They were fraudulent emotions,
Shifting positions,
And moving with the ocean.
Crashing on to the shores,
Destroying sand castles,
Never to move on,
Shift the tastle.
I look back at it all.
With a broken heart,
Damn that was a hastle.
But now i have the remnates,
Pictures of smiles and kisses
All the same,
Hope of a future,
But still nothings changed.
So long my heart has pained
On your fruadulent emotions
soul searching for
For a heart break potion,
to bring me back for floor
of defeat,
so across the table from you
i might take a seat.

read fast as if it has a beat

Time Will Only Tell, But Time Can Lie

The clock never stops,
Tick-tock, Tick-tock.
This clock doesnt stop
Eye lids begin to drop.
Tick-tock Tick-Tock
Waiting for the time to come,
For a sign.
Tick-tock, Tick-tock
Arms streched out,
Holding this heart of mine

Im on the inside looking in

These walls,
There is no way out.
This time its real.
Think, is it possible.
Nothing can you be this real
O'the irony
Traped in by carboard.
Nowhere to escape
Nothing, I can do.
Exploring spongy surfaces.
Praying to to get stuck,
Not to slip into a crevas.
never to be seen,
Never to be heard.
Exploring the spongy surface
Looking for an escape,
However unlikely.
Searching for a way out,
A window to save me from
This carboard box of doubt.
