This Bitter Champagne
Sweetest lie Ive ever heard-
A blank shadow of the deepest word.
Turned from champagne to vinegar on your tongue-
Spilling from a mouth thats far too young.
Too naοve to make any sense-
From depth and taste to ignorance.
Swallow now what you have said,
And sleep from its poison in your river of tears shed.

'Til the Death
I opened up my eyes today knowing it would be
The last time that I saw you; the last time you spoke to me
I opened up my mouth hoping for a prayer
To do the right thing this time; to show you what was there.
I shut my eyes tight tonight left only with a tear
A tear of yesterday soon to be a tear of yesteryear.
I shut my mouth tight tonight but upon my one last breath
I whispered like a lullaby, 'I'll love you 'til the death.'

True Self Fading
She binges.
She purges.
Her true self emerges.
She's fasting.
She's starving.
Her insides are crawling.
She's dizzy.
She's slipping.
Her story is gripping.
She's weak now.
She's praying.
Her soul now is fading.

Unforeseen
Dear, you know I'd never lie
But this silence is offensive
And while I'm living just to die
It's not quite what I expected
Yet at the climax of the quiet
There is a giant, suddle sound
It must have snuck upon the lines there
For its abruptness is profound
Now suddenly this dead air
Is moving quickly and with ease
Its composer struck, and unaware
How came to life this masterpiece
