His Other Lover (cocaine)
A stunning beauty is she
A place to rest your head
She makes you feel so worthy
But in the end you were so misled
She does not wear those high heels
Although she is quite tall
She is just so little
So slight
So small
She will promise you the Ocean
She Begs to never let you down
Her boat is docked and ready
But under her sea you will drown
She will always tell you
Just what you want to hear
But just like you whispered too me
Its sweet nothing's in your ear
She is not materialistic
Wont judge your race or creed
But if you double cross her
She might not let you leave
You chose her though I loved you
I see she won the fight
But between your hell and heaven
I hope you see the light
The sleeping addict
What sounds do I hear?
Snores a far...
Snores a near...
Deep fast breaths wheezing
A choke, a cough or too
It sometimes sounds like they are just coming too
I know it's just sleep
But what really is that?
A moment of solace to get Their wits back?
Now all is quiet, is peaceful at last
But I guess not for long, only a moment has passed
I don't want to move,
Or barely breathe
It might wake them up
Make me a thief
A robber of their slumber
Their zen
There closed eyes
They must stay under to sort out their lives
What are they dreaming?
Who do they hear?
Me being a thief, of their dreams or their fears
I would like to sleep
But I would rather hear
The sleeping addict
With nothing to fear
Just listen to the silent scream
I listened, I heard
I heard about listening
I came and I saw
That my future was glistening
I choked and I yelled
and I screamed and I cried
Everyone was there
But the noise was inside
I begged and I pleaded
To be rid of my angst
But still at my heartstrings and my gut
it yanks
My sanity is sacred
Few and far between
“I am not like them “ I said
For I am a Queen
My patience runs thin
Mostly angry at me
Angry at God
Whom I don't even believe
Like a small grain of sand
I now sit on this beach
For serenity I scream
For silence I reach
The Unwelcomed Visitor
Please step into my nightmare
Come in for a quick peek
You can stay a moment
A month, or a week
You may feel restless, listless and dread
But please do not worry
It's all in your head
Come into my kitchen
I will cook you a dish
Filled with confusion, and anger, and bliss
Sleep in my bedroom
But I might toss and turn
It's alright if you wake me
For soon you will learn
Come down to my basement
But please watch your step
My stairs are so steep
Its a damn mouldy mess
So step into my nightmare
Or did you think it a dream?
I don't want you to go
But you now have to leave
......me
