Will this pretty face ever find its place?

Night falls over the city
As I find you
Walking to nowhere again
Your silhouette
Illuminated by city lights
This pretty face comes with the price of a past
Theses feet have walked in every direction
Only to be embraced by disappointment


Drive with me
To a place where the lake sleeps beneath the moon
Stuck in a stare
On the banks of a lake called I don’t care
Imagers of love, hate and disappointment
Broadcast themselves from the still surface of the water
To do nothing is to live the past over and over again
So I through a stone through the reflections
And watch as imagers scatter in all directions


As long hours take there toll on tired eyes
Hope feels like such a waist
But ill wait
Remember to breath
And then believe
In a future I cannot see

Suicide symphonies

I should have arrived earlier
A lifetime of wondering
Would have been averted
I contemplate life with out a friend
I can’t live at all
Each day goes on for so long
And what you did was so wrong
All that’s left are unanswered questions
And a letter that I don’t wana read


I knocked really hard but no answer
So I used the spare key that you left in the shed
Walking down the hall way
I heard you cock the gun
I screamed wait
While you screamed it’s too late
I hit the floor as the gun went off
Pulling myself to my feet
I walked in to find you on the floor
Not breathing anymore
With white powder on the floor
Was it this curse that gave you the power


Now that you’re gone
I’ll start to love you more
And it’s too late
Was I to busy to even find the time?
I’m sorry
If I could, I would take you away
I would tell you the things that would have made you stay
I’ll just always regret the day I screamed wait
Cos deep down I know it was me that was to late

Love left in the headlights

As time transverses in circular motions
Foregone feelings bring me back

To the site of this invisible car crash

Looking at you upside down and inside out
I take one last look, one deep sigh
As I pull glass fragments from your skin
I say sorry for the inevitability of this car crash
We just never saw the headlights coming
Until our world turned to glass
Just take my hand and say goodbye
Let me walk away without a scratch and watch me die


The heavens start to open as my hands hit the sand
Father come down and get me cos I am a broken man.
Sirens scream past as they sing songs of rescue towards my love
This is all over and I am so done
As the dust suffocates my last remaining breath
My Spirit leaves this place
And I am left wondering
If love could ever say goodbye with a smile on its face?
