She says a word carelessly
Does she know how deep it goes
I hear the words replayed
Day and night in my mind
I cry silently
Someplace where she can not see
I do not want her to know
Of this, my pain and misery
I know that I should not
Wound myself with such
But her words were unexpected
Piercing, sharp and edged
I never thought to feel
This age old pain
Not from her
Someone I love
And who loves me
I know she must
For we are of one blood
I do not think that she caused
This pain on purpose
But how I know
I do not understand
But she never had cruel intent

The price of happiness
Comes at the cost of tears
A crying sob echoes
Silently through the halls of laughter
We have come to the end
Only to find that the beginning is dead
Our sorrow silences
And hides behind dancing eyes
Notice me it screams
Help me it calls
No one hears, silence reigns
Captured at the heart
Glances from above
Shed your tears, my love
Shed your tears.
Drained of self
All is gone
Only the memory remains
And yet, stills the heart
As memory fades
It is gone, it all slips away
Far from here
I dance my song
I hear my steps
And see my music
I have no home
And I am lost
I tragic story begins with
"Once upon a time"
All is lost
The sun bleeds red
The moon has shed her tears
The stars sing faintly
A haunting lullaby
The strains glow warmly
In this final night

Flame of life
Burn bright and warm
Wave of death
Swell dark and cold
Wind of hate
Kiss me last
Earth of love
Embrace me well

Flame of life
Burn cold and dark
Wave of death
Swell warm and bright
Wind of hate
Embrace me well
Earth of love
Kiss me last

I am an adult
   A child inside
I am calm and composed
   Screaming and hysterical
I am happy
   Angry, scared and sad
I am a smiling face
   To hide the tears I shed

I am an adult
   A child inside
I embrace change with open arms
   Change terrifies me
I am willing to enter the world
   Don't make me leave my bubble
I will find where I belong
   I have never belonged

I am an adult
   A child inside
I am strong and healthy
   Withered in pain
I am open to the world
   My true self hidden
I never cry
   My tears flood the earth

I am an adult
   A child inside
I am both adult and child
   And I sob in silence

Clean that room.
It has never been
My room
I suppose that it
Never will be
You need to do something about that room
It is just a space to stay in
Nothing permanent
Though I have been here
Over two years
That room is a mess
Who would have thought
That something so small
Would cause such havoc in my life
Or would destroy a relationship
That room
That it would fetter
And fester
And eat away
That room
It is always there
Silently hanging above our heads
That room
The only problem is
Does she know
Clean that room
Does she realize what torment
She puts me through
That room
Does she know what it is like
To have your whole house
In one small box
That room
If she doesn't
Then I am destroying us.
I say nothing
I do nothing
That room
I cry in silence
So she does not hear.
I scream on paper
So she does not know
Will I ever be able to tell her
You need to clean up that room
