Everyone young and foolish will dare to promise forever

As if it is in their reach

Till death do us part

Because you think you know someone,

The people you call friends,

The people you like,

The people you love.

And they stay by your side so long your stories weave and intertwine,

Only to see a lose thread and have it all unravel,

To find the real story beneath the glamour

With no stone let untu...

I loved you, once

When your words were still true

And your heart was still pure

I trusted you, once

When you never broke a heart

Or a solemn oath

I needed you, once

When my world fell apart

And you weren’t there to save me

I hoped for forever

But hope isn’t enough

When someone leaves you for dead

I searched far and wide

But when you were found

You’d become someone new

Someone who cheats

So...

The lies you told

No longer control

My mind is free

Free as can be

My wings have been set free

From your narcissistic greed

No stone left unturned

No promise left intact

The truth is the wind beneath my wing...

No stone left unturned.

No promise left intact.

Your loyalty is admirable,

But I find fault in your tact.

Your strategy is forward,

But offense wins the game.

You dare not betray your friends,

While betrayal is my first name.

Your sword is sharp,

Your shield is strong.

But how can good,

Survive without wrong?

What can be good,

If nothing is bad?

Aren’t you weary from this fight?

Don’t smile if ...

My son wearily looks up at me,

with snot dripping out his nose you see.

His eyes ask, “Daddy, am I ok?”

And to him, this is what I say:

When life tries to hit you, hurt you, wear you down, you can never let it see you frown.

And I finish this rhyme by making you a pact:

When I say I’ll be there for you understand I will leave no stone left unturned, no promises left intact....

I miss you

Did you know that?

I always want to reach out

But you push me away

What’s up with that?

And I can’t shake you

You cross my mind every day

Multiple times

And it’s not that I’m fixated

It’s not that I’m stuck

It’s just that you were my favorite person

You made me happy

And now I’m just not

Never again

You didn’t want me

That’s just that

You left no stone unturned

Yeah, no...

Try as we must

Promises made which could never be fulfilled

My children always ask for unlimited promises

My children ask for life forever

Try as we must

Fight as we do

Life will always conclude

Time will always win

Try as we must

Immortality I seek

I promise to be there forever

A promise I know I cannot keep

Because I study the endless.

And yet I sit and think

Try as I might I will ...

You’ll need a silver knife to kill me love

My whole family is full of monsters

My sister who nurses the snakes inside her head,

Keeps statues of the men she destroys,

Hurt so young and so often that poison

Tastes like benediction

Till she dies, she’ll spread her gospel.

And me, the changeling, who goes anywhere,

Who collects trust like currency to spend,

Like two gold coins to be laid over the ey...

Wherever you are

I will find you

I will never stop

Toi t’ornent you

You are my center

You are my strength

And you can’t leave without my consent

I promised you protection

But protection from the outside

And now you dare running from me?

I will pursue you

I will find you

No stone left unturned

No promise left intact...

Lies were sung from my lips

The same lips that were quick to make a promise

Seduction was birthed from my hips

I would suffocate your doubts with my false reassurance

I thought my secrets were safe

something told you I was untrue

My lies were becoming way more than I could ever bare

Yours eyes already told me you knew

How could I ever dare to lie again when you looked at me with that stare

M...
