It’s a little intense How much you seem to see When your eyes cease to wander And fall hard on me They seem to travel through mountains And swim through seas Dance through forests And zip between trees They journey so far In search of their goal Then you smile and I know You’ve found home in my soul.

I’m swimming naked in the sea Unconfined and free My toes poke through the water Rejoicing in my laughter Triumphing in this solitude My unsheathed body moves I have no limits, no restrictions Moving lithely through the ocean In my simple stature I’m alone with nature As God intended us to be Swimming naked in the sea.

I’m sliding down the staircase I’m floating through the air All because you saw me All because you stared I’m skidding through the corridor Grinning cheek to cheek Because I stood so near to you And at last we got to speak What’s all this boundless energy? What’s all this bubbling glee? I don’t know but I’ve a feeling It’s the start of you and me.

Don’t turn those wicked eyes on me Like I’m the only thing you see Like you’ve been waiting all your life For a girl like me to end your strife Don’t tease me with your witty words Don’t cut my heart up into thirds Don’t look me up and down like that Don’t disagree when I say I’m fat Don’t ...

I walked back into the lion’s den Though I feared I may be mauled again I wiped my tears and held my head high I tried so hard to believe the lie That everything would be fine this time That you’d spare my body and my mind That the scars I bore would quickly heal That you would love me ...

There’s a picture in my head Like a knife in my gut I just can’t escape it I’m stuck in its rut It’s a picture of you And a picture of him A picture that pains A picture that brings Heartache and hurt Rage and misery too Every time I see you – I can’t not see it too This picture of him And this picture of you I can’t keep living with The picture of you two.

I don’t want to share you With a baby or a cat I want you to be all my own How’d you feel about that? I want to be the only thing You deem worth a lengthy glance I just don’t want to share you About that, what’s your stance? It’s true that I may lock you up It’s true ...

I want somebody who sees in me All the things you seemed to see I want somebody who would be Everything you were to me I need somebody who’d love me so Whose face would transform When I step through the door Who’d kiss me like only you know how And show me what it means to love I want ...

Hot pink and lime greenThese are the colors in which I dreamDeep purple and fiery redAre the feelings that draw me into your bedWarm orange and turquoise blueThe nature of my love for youThe blue of the sky on a sunny dayThat’s the shade of my lingerieBaby pink and olive greenLike you and I – an unlikely teamCanary yellow and ...

I’m sitting over here And watching you over there With your boyish figure And short crop of hair When you notice me looking You vacantly stare And that’s when I realise Just how much I care.

Don’t look at me Avert your eyes Lest the rain pour out Of my greying skies There’s nothing to see here But the pain I feel The hurt and heartache A horrific Bastille I’ve never known Such a pain as this My heart’s been raped In a dark abyss I’m changed forever These scars won’t heal And you’ll never understand What you’ve made me feel.

You punish me for not loving you You tear me down with things you do You cut me up with words you don’t say And the hurt that you hide each and every day You torture me with the pain you feel And hopes you know could never be real You kill me every time you pause And force me ...

Virgin hearts beat soundly They have nothing to fear Their owner’s vision is not blurry It’s untainted, all is clear They know their stance on right and wrong They know what’s good and bad The know what they will stand for And how to cope when they get sad But hearts that love beat faster They ricochet around They dance ...

I’m hungry for you to see me And you’re looking in my eyes But with a look that tells me That you see past the guise I’m desperate for you to hold me To feel your mouth on mine Your eyes still envelope me Even after all this time To you it doesn’t matter That I’ve built a different man ...

The tears are streaming down my heart As I’m trying to tell you of my pain But I can see from your grinning face My efforts are in vain You fell in love with a happy girl And you can’t see past the smile You can’t feel sorrow build inside Unhappy is not your style So today I feel so ...

She’s leaping off a cliff She’s dancing in the rain Running naked down the beach Like she was born to be insane Racing to the water Skinny dipping at high tide Forget about the clothes She’s already stripped of pride Twirling barefoot in the grass Eyes focused, making art Every day, a fresh start For the feisty gypsy of my heart.

How’d you come to be so cruel? How’d you come to cause such pain? Is this what you wanted? To believe you’d make it rain? Well now it’s raining blood And flesh and guts and tears Bleeding hearts of innocents And of you and of your peers What sort of mental illness Forms such a breed of psychopath? Tell me, ...

I’ve only known vicious anger I’ve only felt hard kicks So to feel your arms around me Makes me lose my wits What is this surging feeling? Is it the one that they call love? Is this what it means To want to kiss instead of shove? I’m quivering with excitement I hardly know what to do How is it that what I’ve sought for so long Flows so readily from you?

I breathe you in You’re a hair away But I can’t bridge the gap Oh, I’d give anything to defy The force that holds me back Just a whisper between us You shiver where you stand Every molecule charged I try to still my shaking hand I’m lightheaded by your presence The smell of your shampoo It’s taking all my ...

Wearing a long, plum-colored dress I’m playing a Baby Grand Beautiful music leaves the keys As I rapidly move my hands It swells and shakes this house of cards It envelopes my mind A single card falls to the floor But it’s blank on either side My feet sit within black hiking boots Surrounded by shattered glass I stop playing ...
