I promise daddy
Not to cry...

I take a brush
Dip it in the blue paint...

Not one of us, not you, not me
Could be such...

I am a trouble starter
I am the eye of my mother...

If I were older I could tell you
If I were younger I wouldn't need you...

My stale, bitter soul rest upon wilted leaves
Into which the unexpected past weaves...

I fake it so real; I'm beyond fake
It stays all night until my hearts brakes...

Don't be another victim of the mask I wear
It's wrong, I know, the things I can hide, and...

The twlight can sleep
tonight...

People amaze me the way some should not
Once to you knowledge wanting...

These tears come down like rain
They cut me like glass...

The air I breathe is worn thin by this bitterness
Caused by the shade of my ongoing kindness...
