{September 16, 2015}   Keep Falling

I’m falling

Keep telling myself it’s not wise

You will always seem

Two seconds shy of a couple more lies

Another dance away

From a lady on the side

Because that’s what I am

The darkness you hide

I’m still falling

But I see it in your eyes

I’ll lose my dignity

You’ll keep your pride

A few steps back

Since the last time we tried

The paint was peeling

Should have waited outside

It’ll all be gone soon, though

Swept away with the tide

Invisible hands

Wiping tears left uncried

You’ll empty the ocean

I’ll let it slide

And I’ll keep on falling

Until I’m too tired



{February 4, 2014}   I Felt Alive

Sit on your pedestal
Hide behind your lies
Judge my indiscretions
Cause you’re numb inside

I gave in to desire
So call me whore
Won’t claim to be a saint
I tried that before

Attempt to tear me down again
Maybe I’m a flirt
My pride doesn’t need defending
I loved the way it hurt

Go on and call me dirty
I like the way it sounds
I thought of your perfection
While my knees were on the ground

Intoxicating power
Surging deep inside
It wasn’t my finest hour
But I felt alive
I felt alive
