She’s just a child, who wants it all
She wants your heart, to watch you fall.

She wants control, to hear your screams
She wants your soul, make you fear your dreams.

She wants to know, the power is hers
Which you bestow, when you shower with words.

She wants your eyes, so you can’t see
Without her guise, you fear you cannot be.

She wants your hands, so they can’t fight
She wants you man, she wants your might.

She wants your feet, so they can’t walk
You must hear her speak, but you must not talk.

She wants your tears, they oil her parts
Sooth her fears, spoil her heart.

She was beauty personified
And I was often mesmerised
Still I chose,
To hurt another
She was my lover
A lonely other
I was her lover
I ran for cover.

Now we move in different lives
And she’ll be loving other guys
All the while my eyes
Have been closed over
I’ve been blinded by the sound
Of that burning light in the background
It’s pierced my mind
And frayed my vision.

Now I think of long ago
A girl I knew
A man I know
Who use to think he spoke
with such wisdom.
For now I see the falling leaves
Barren branches on once green trees
I hear their last cries echo around me.

‘Time will change and always go
Mocking all you thought to know
If you don’t follow
It will kill you surely
Kill you slowly
But kill you surely.’

On we move, different paths we pave
All leading to the one grave
Not always time to stay
For move we must.
In clouds of dust
We’re often thrust
In trails of dust
We choose to trust.

She was beauty personified
And I was often mesmerised
Still I chose to hurt another
I was her lover
A lonely other
She was my lover
I ran from cover.

I am sorry if I scared you
If my affect on you was bad
I was unaware I swear to you
Thoughts of myself were all I had.

I was selfish and self conscious
Never stopping to think of you
Dealing with myself being unresponsive
With most you tried to do.

I was ignorant now I see
Though it may have been something I had to do
At the time all I could see was me
Though it’s allowed me to see all the good in you.

Forgive my time of self indulgence
For spending so long looking within
I am here to offer encouragement
In all you wish to begin.

See how others are
So relaxed and carefree
Entangled in their own love
Unafraid of what others see
See how others are
It’s so endless what they could be
Ramble in a wood of love
Delighting in all they see

How gracefully they move
Like eyes don’t stop and stare
Like they have nothing to lose
And if they did they wouldn’t care
So smooth in dancing shoes
All eyes should grace this pair
Only see the world in twos
So blissfully unaware.

How radiant it is
Unrelenting beaming smiles
Like a world of playing kids
There’s an innocent beauty in a child
Oblivious to this
Like there is no one near for miles
Lovers clear of mist
Go running in the wild

How refreshing it must be
Not to think only feel
Like hit from a wave from sea
When burnt to bits and about to peel
It’s a blessing I hope they see
Which I’m sure time will reveal
To live a life so free
Without a lid or seal.

No eyes to disapprove
Pass by without a pause
No bonds to break or lose
As they obey all of loves laws
Secrecies not a cloak they use
They are free from all its flaws
They’ve got nothing to excuse
They fight a pure and nobel cause.

I love the way she teases
Before she pleases
Has you near screaming out to Jesus
Before she decides to relieve you
She’s classy
And still sassy
She shakes her hips
Bites her lips
While making eyes with
You
Daring you to pursue
What she knows you want to
It’s getting hot, I’m getting horny
She goes then she stops, she does nothing for me
She backs off and cracks a smile
Holds my gaze awhile
And she knows what I’m thinking
She leaves me looking
Then smiles back winking
She plays a seductive game
Till I nearly burst a vein
This is torture it’s inhumane
But what else would I be playing.

I’ve had moments of tremendous fear
Where I’m scared to take a step
But I whisper in my own ear
Breathe and pump out your chest.

May the first man move
And the last man fry
For the bravest never lose
In my God forsaken eye.

I wish the last to step
A life so very long
When they leave their living death
No one miss them when they’re gone.

I’ve had moments of tremendous fear
Where I’m scared to take a step
But I whisper in my own ear
Breathe, move, and pump out your fuckin’ chest.

Today I let die
An idea of what I was
And at the very same time
An idea of something I loved.

Today I let go
Today I became free
As I lost something I loved
And found that something in me.

Today I lost something
I kept grip of in my very core
By accepting at best it must of been nothing
To then accept to think nothing of something no more.

Today I let die
Something inside of me
Losing an idea of love
And with it an idea of me.

Today I lost a fight
To my fright gained something more
That in killing your own love for something
Something more thrilling might then lie in store.

Love does not die
It just gains new direction
But it does kill something inside
To admit its misplaced affection.

Today I lost something
An idea of something I loved
For something has given me nothing
And now of something nothing feels good.

Today I let go
Today I became free
As I let go of something
And found that something in me.
