Sleepless ways, you’re a mystery
Bathed in the glow of your closet light
Shuttered eyes, restless roaming
Shuddering on the bed next to me
What dwells now in that head of yours
What pain sleeps in your wakefulness
Demons crawl across the ceiling
Nightmares stretch their claws
Separate our entangled limbs
Take a walk just to clear your head
Watch your breath crystallize
And rise into the dead black sky
Come inside, I’ve been missing you
Lay your head on my chest in this solitude
You pretend to sleep but only for me
Feel you sobbing quietly
No words spoken into the dark
Only touch, fading spark
Never know sleep again
The tortured nights of dying friends

After You Died

In pain without the words to say what ails me
In panes of glass the setting sun burns brighter
Impatient with the ebb and flow of the agony
Insanity waits in the voids within my mind
I wonder what it’s like inside your coffin
I wonder if you suffered as much as I do
I hear you breathing through the trees, wind whispering
I feel your finger down my spine in mourning
I taste the spittle of your spite in my throat
I see your ghost lingering malignantly
I wonder if you somehow know I’m dying too
I wonder if it’s your fault, if you knew I’m no longer trying to shed you
Take this love away, I’m dreaming about yesterdays
Only cold remains, I’m thinking of the last three words you spoke
Memories seem grey, a haze hangs over better days
Every feeling fades, I’m losing more and more everyday

Search Party Queen

Remember the last time you tried to leave me,
How neither one of us walked away happy?
But I will keep you safe here, I will wrap you in warmth
Despite your many betrayals of my trust
Remember the first time I heard you screaming?
I told you that you were beautiful
And that no one can hear you we’re deep underground
So you may as well not make any sounds unless I tell you to
For all the good it’ll do
Possession, I think I’ll name you possession
It’s vaguely beautiful to have you be entirely mine
And even with those tears on your face I love you more than anything
Search party queen, you are the best of me, the worst of me
You harm me
It’s a slow torture but it’s the best you deserve

Past Tense

You were a desert when I was thirsting
You were an ocean when I was drowning
You were gone when I was here
And I heard what you wanted me to hear
And I saw what you wanted me to see
And I fought when you expected me to flee
Abandon me
But you are a ghost and I am alone
